Standard Register Based VXIbus Module

OverVoltage, OverCurrent, Output Isolation Protection Circuitry

Advanced Power Designs introduces the Model VXI150 Programmable PrecisionResistor Moddule. The VXI150 is a high accuracy programmable ladderpackaged on a single slot C-size VXIbus card format. The instrument is astandard resistor based card providing programmable resistance values from0.5 to 1.5M ohms in 0.1 ohm increments. And since high power precisionresistors are used, the VXI150 provides 0.5A current carry capability andup to 5 watts dissipation.

Operating Range

The VXI150 provides any resistance value between 0.5 ohms and 1.5M ohmsin 0.1 ohm increments through the use of high power/high precision powerresistors. The maximum current is 0.5 Amps and is power limited to 5W.

Applications

The VXI150 is designed for ATE applications where a wide selection ofprecision resistor values are required. Applications include precisioncalibration loading, sensor simulation, and select-in-test resistortrimming.

In addition to these applications, many ATE designers find it much lesscostly to use the VXI150 in place of fixed resistors which previouslyhad to be housed in interface test adapters (fixtures). In many cases,the use of the VXI150 can lead to a reduction in the number of uniquefixtures required and can reduce fixture complexity and cost.
