Power Supply ATE
MELSS has designed and built various types of Power Supply ATEs. These systems are built to cater to the test and product qualification needs of the various power supply design and manufacturing organisations. Many of these ATEs are multi-functional wherein a combination of the below systems can be tested by basic fixture interchange and selection of the appropriate test program in the system.
- SMPS, ATX power supply
- DC-DC converter
- Chargers – mobile, laptop, set-top box etc.
- Inverter
- Battery
The test program can be defined by a simple user editable screen to select the required parameters and to define the pass/fail criteria.
The system is easy to configure for quick UUT/DUT changeover and can be interfaced with a barcode reader to create traceability of the serial number through data logging. Multiple rights for operators, engineers and designers are provided and the system can be connected with an electrical safety tester to verify if the UUT has passed safety tests before functional testing.
