Aim TTI MX180TP Triple-Output Multi-Range Power Supply

The P-models, like the MX180TP in the MX series, offer full remote control and read back using USB, RS-232, LAN (compliant with LXI). All interfaces are at ground potential and opto-isolated form the output terminals. Also on these P versions, output and remote sense terminals are mounted both on the front and rear panels.

MX Series Features:

• Two high power outputs plus one low power output
• 2 x 180 watts plus 1 x 18 watts
• Total power of over 375 watts in a highly compact package
• Range switching gives up to 120 volts and up to 20 amps
• Twenty six range combinations for maximum flexibility
• Up to 360 watts from a single output
• Low output noise and ripple via linear final regulation
• High setting resolution of 1mV and 0.1mA
• Variable OVP and OCP trips on all outputs
• 50 setting memories per output plus 50 linked memories
• Selectable voltage tracking (isolated tracking)
• Selectable current meter averaging
• Switchable remote sense on all outputs
• Graphic LCD provides simultaneous output metering
• Numeric or spin-wheel control of all parameters
• Individual or combined output on/off control with programmable delay sequencing.
• 3U half-rack case for bench or rack mounting

MX Series - A new power supply generation
The MX Series represents a new generation of multiple output laboratory power supplies from Aim-TTi. Offering high power within a compact format they use ranged switched mixed-mode regulation with display and control via a large backlit graphic LCD and soft keys.

MX180T RangeMultiple ranges and power sharing
Each output of the MX180T has more than one range enabling it to cover a wider variety of applications.
Outputs one and two can also be combined internally to provide up to 360 watts of power as either 15V/20A, 30V/12A, 60V/6A or 120V/3A from a single output.

Three full-performance outputs
The MX180T differs from most other triple output power supplies in having three full function outputs with fully variable voltage and current along with OVP and OCP trips. Each output features CV or CI operation, simultaneous high resolution metering, switchable remote sensing, and an individual output switch.

Mixed-mode regulation
To provide its impressive power density the MX series combines high frequency switch-mode pre-regulation with linear post-regulation to offer performance that comes close to that of an all-linear design. Excellent line and load regulation is matched by low noise and good transient response.

Clarity and ease-of-use
The MX150T displays voltage, current and other essential information for all outputs simultaneously using its backlit graphic LCD. The illuminated keypad includes six soft keys via which voltage or current can be instantly set for any output, or which can be used to set up other functions using a menu system.
Values can be set numerically direct from the keypad or can be adjusted in a quasi-analog manner using the spin wheel. The front panel can be locked and password-protected.

On/Off Synchronism and Sequencing
A unique capability of the product is programmable on/off sequencing. In addition to the individual output on/off buttons of there are buttons for Multi-On and Multi-Off. By default these turn all three outputs on or off simultaneously, but they can also be set to operate any combination in a user-defined sequence with delays between 10ms and 20s.

A full set of digital interfaces (MX180TP)
The MX180TP provides a comprehensive array of digital interfaces including USB, RS-232, GPIB or LAN (compliant with LXI). Each of the digital bus interfaces provides full control of voltage, current, and output on/off, plus read-back of voltage, current and status. The interfaces are at ground potential and are opto-isolated from the output terminals. An IVI driver for Windows is included. This provides support for common high-level instrument-to-PC connectivity solution.

Bench or rack mounting
The MX180T is housed in a compact half rack width case suitable for use on the bench-top or in a rack. Front input cooling simplifies ventilation within a rack mount. On the MX180TP, output and remote sense terminals are mounted on both the front and the rear panel. The power supply is 3U high and a rack mounting kit is available as an option.
