Reduce ATE development time and
support costs with integrated features
Smart triggering: Increase throughput,
protect your DUT, and reduce test
complexity
The APS’s smart triggering system
provides trigger capabilities never
before seen in a power supply. The
APS’s smart triggering can accelerate
your test throughput, better protect
your DUT, and reduce the complex-
ity of your test system. The smart
triggering system includes all the
basic triggering functionality you
would expect in a system power
supply, but it goes well beyond
with capabilities such as:
• Level triggering allows you to
execute a trigger from five differ-
ent APS measurement parameters:
voltage, current, power, amp-hour,
and watt-hour.
• Logical triggering gives you the
ability to create logical “and,” “or,”
and “not” trigger expressions using
various trigger conditions such
as digital input pins, level triggers,
status bits, and more.
• Triggers can be used to transition
through a list of voltage or current
levels as well as through the points
of a voltage or current waveform.
• Triggers with precision delays can
be sent out from the APS after a
voltage or current level change/
transient. These triggers can be
used to signal another instrument
in the test system to do something
after a voltage or current change.

Notes:

Resistance programming accuracy varies with output current. For example, for an N7970A unit at 0.1 Ω
with a 50 A transient, accuracy is: (0.1 Ω*0.06%) + (1.6 mΩ*A/50 A) = 92 µΩ.
