The MX Series - a new power supply generation
The MX Series represents a new generation of multiple output laboratory
power supplies from Aim-TTi.
Offering high power within a compact format they use ranged switched
mixed-mode regulation with display and control via a large backlit graphic
LCD with soft keys.
The first models in the MX Series to be launched are the 315 watt triple
output MX100T and 375 watt triple output MX180T.
Three full-performance outputs
All outputs of an MX Series power supply have fully variable voltage
and current setting and are able to operate in both constant voltage and
constant current modes.
High resolution metering is incorporated and variable OVP and OCP trips are
provided. Each output has its own DC On/Off switch.
Mixed-mode regulation
To provide its impressive power density the MX series combines high
frequency switch-mode pre-regulation with linear post-regulation to offer
performance that comes close to that of an all-linear design.
Excellent line and load regulation is matched by low noise and good
transient response.
Range switching and power control
To increase its ability to match a variety of applications, each
output has more than one range.
This enables higher currents to be provided when the voltage
requirement is lower, or higher voltages when the current
requirement is lower.
When higher power is required, a shared power mode is
available in which twice the power is available from a single
output..
MX Series Key Features
Three high performance outputs each with full functionality
Range switching gives variable voltage/current combinations
Shared power mode provides double power from a single output

50 setting memories per output plus 50 linked memories
Selectable voltage tracking (isolated tracking)
Selectable current meter averaging
Switchable remote sense capability
Graphic LCD provides simultaneous output metering
Numeric or spin-wheel control of all parameters
Individual or combined output on/off control with
programmable delay sequencing.
3U half-rack case for bench or rack mounting
GPIB, RS-232, USB and LAN (LXI) interfaces (-P models)
Duplicate power & sense terminals at rear (-P models)
