R&R Technologies introduces portable benchtop power supply

PORTLAND, Ore., 7 June 2007. R&R Technologies Inc. in Portland, Ore., is introducing the PS-1 portable benchtop power supply with built-in rechargeable batteries that enables engineers to test low-power circuits without cord or power-main limitations and accelerate product development.

Engineers can use the battery-operated PS-1 to set up long-term tests that are less susceptible to test-stopping power outages or glitches than corded power supplies. The portable PS-1 can -- depending on the test load -- run for days on a full charge, facilitate field-testing, and support true power-main-independent testing.

R&R's PS-1 works with devices that run at 1.2 to 15 volts in end-user applications and its adjustable-voltage functionality enables engineers to test devices at various stages in their life cycles. The PS-1 includes a three-digit LED display and has an adjustable-current limit of 10 to 1,000 milliamps.

The PS-1 also comes with a cord and a jack on the front panel to give users the ability to use power mains. The front-panel jack helps prevent the cord tugging that can damage a device being tested and is often associated with back-panel jacks.
