Power multiplexer and DUT power switching module
Key Facts
  • Twelve power channels for currents up to 16 A
  • Eight medium-power channels for currents up to 2 A
  • Switching voltage up to 30 V
  • Integrated current measurement via shunt resistors and analog bus coupling
  • Rear I/O access to the power signals for unique flexibility during system integration and seamless adaptation to power supplies and loads within a system paradigm based on R&S®PowerTSVP
  • Unique comprehensive selftest and measurement of relay contact resistance
  • Support by the R&S®TS-LSRL signal routing library provides intelligent and secure switch path computing

Brief Description The R&S®TS-PSM4 is the innovative implementation of a rugged, modular switching device for integrating supply current switching into your test system. The R&S®TS-PSM4 power switching module was developed to add high-current switching up to 16 amps to the standard functionality of the R&S®TSVP test system versatile platform. Powerful and flexible switching capabilities are combined with ruggedized signal connection and high availability secured by switching cycle monitoring. The R&S®TS-PSM4 can be used in both the R&S®CompactTSVP (R&S®TS-PCA3) and the R&S®PowerTSVP (R&S®TS-PWA3). A switch cycle counter for reliable operation and monitoring strain of the relays is implemented by an FRAM accessible by the on-board microprocessor. Readings can be retrieved from the module via the IVI switch driver.
