What is it? A low-profile modular system power supply or electronic load and a modular DC power analyzer for the bench.
Who needs it? System and test engineers use the low-profile modular power supply. Design engineers use the power analyzer.
Target application/industry? The low-profile modular power supply or electronic load are our most popular system used in all industries. The DC Power Analyzer: product development, and often to measure current consumption of battery power devices (IoT, Mobile Phones).
Areas of growth? Testing IoT (Internet of Things) devices such as; security and alarm systems, smart watches and wearable health monitors, portable medical devices and Power Management (PM) chips and circuits.
