Special Features
Steady state operating mode
The Siglent SDL1020X features four operating modes to provide flexible test capabilities. In CC mode, the electronic load will sink a constant current, regardless of the voltage at its terminals. In CV mode, the electronic load will cause a constant voltage to appear at its terminals. In CR mode, the electronic load will behave as a fixed resistance value. As shown in the figure, the electronic load will linearly change the current according to the input voltage. In CP mode, the electronic load will cause a constant power to be dissipated in the load.
Dynamic test mode up to 25 kHz (CC)
The transient test allows switching between two different load values. A common application is to test the dynamic characteristics of a DC source or DUT (Device-Under- Test). The transient test function enables the load to periodically switch between two set levels (Level A and Level B). The highest frequency can be set to 25 kHz in CC mode. The highest frequency can be set to 12.5 kHz in CP modes.
Simplify complex sequencing using the list operation function
You can generate complex load sequences quickly using the list operation function. Here, you can edit the setpoints, dwell time, and slew rate for each step in the test. Slew rate can only be edited in CC mode.
4-wire SENSE compensation mode function
In CC/CV/CR/CW mode, when a load is connected to a power supply, it can cause a significant voltage-drop on the connection lines between tested instrument and terminals of load. Using remote sense, you can measure the voltage at the DUTs input terminals, effectively removing the additional error due to the voltage drop in the connection wires.
Program function
In program (auto-test) mode, you can generate a sequence of tests using different modes, mode parameters and durations. This function is useful for automatically executing a set of tests on a device then display whether the tests passed or failed. Test results are easily viewed by pressing the up and down buttons. The Siglent SDL1020X provides 8 nonvolatile registers to save auto-test file for recall later. Each file contains 1-50 steps to set up. Auto-test function is especially useful in the designing battery charging circuitry.
Battery discharge function
The Siglent SDL1020X can also provide insight into battery performance by analyzing the discharge characteristics of the DUT. The SDL features three stop conditions for the discharge test: Voltage, capacity or time. The discharge process is immediately terminated if the stop conditions are met. This provides more control over the test termination and an extra layer of safety during critical tests. Throughout the test process the battery voltage, discharge current, discharge time and discharged capability is displayed clearly on the LCD panel.
OCPT/OPPT Mode
Over-current protection (OCPT) mode prevents drawing too much current from the DUT. After the input voltage reaches the V-on point, theSiglent SDL1020X will start to draw a current from the source after a delay time. The current value will increase by a certain step size at regular intervals. Simultaneously, the DC load will compare the input voltage to the OCP voltage:If it is lower, then the present current value will be compared to see if it is in the current range you have set. Within the range, the OCP test will evaluate Pass or Fail. If it is outside of the set range, the DC load will to increase drawing current and compare the voltage again.
CR-LED Mode
The Siglent SDL1020X includes a CR-LED mode specifically for LED driver testing. Basing on the traditional CR mode, CR-LED mode adds a diode breakover voltage setting. When the input voltage is above this set value, the DC load start to work. Thus, it can emulate the actual characteristics of an LED.Downloads
