Hi, I got a PM regarding the supply so I finally have some answers so put it here. I have TPM3003 thus everything below corresponds to this version.
Real size of the supply (to fit it into a cabinet):Max. width = 130 mm (including small screws on the sides)
Max. height = 160 mm (including rubber feet and the top handle)
Max. depth = 320 mm (including front banana connectors, excluding power cord)
Turn-on, Turn-off behavior measurements( numbers represent the picture index)
1) No load measurements
(Settings: LOW range, OVP=off, OVC=off, Ilim = 1 A)
Voltage | Turn-on | Turn-off |
3,3 V | 1 | 4 |
5 V | 2 | 5 |
10 V | 3 | 6 |
2) With 5R15 load
(Settings: LOW range, OVP=off, OVC=off, Ilim = 6,4 A)
Voltage | Turn-on | Turn-off |
3,3 V | 7 | 10 |
5 V | 8 | 11 |
10 V | 9 | 12 |
3) With 5R15 load, turn-on behavior, when a current limitation occurs in 70% of preset voltage
(Settings: LOW range, OVP=off, OVC=off, Ilim = varies)
Voltage | I-limit | Turn-on |
3,3 V | 0,4485A | 13 |
5 V | 0,6796A | 14 |
10 V | 1,3592A | 15 |
4) Turn-on behavior for super sensitive circuits when a breakdown occurs (5R15 load)
(Settings: LOW range, OVP=off, OVC=off, Ilim = 15 mA, Vlim = 15 V)
- picture 16
5) Test with LED diode if it survives:
(Settings: HIGH range, OVP=off, OVC=off, Ilim = 15 mA, Vlim = 36 V)
- Test passed (repeated 10 times)
note: when the current is very small (1 mA), the turn-on time is very long (3 seconds !?)
Turn-on, Turn-off conclusionIn my opinion the supply behavior is correct. No overshooting or undershooting. It obviously have some smart trick because when the current limitation is on, the turn-on time varies a lot. It looks like the output capacitor was disconnected when the output is off.
That would explain different turn-on times. What do you think ?edit: I set 10 V and three different current limits 1 mA, 10 mA, 100 mA and the output rates are 11,4 V/s , 58,4 V/s , 365,7 V/s. Calculated capacities are not same however (87,71 uF , 171,23 uF , 273,44 uF)....
