Power Supplies
Performance (DC)
The 9170/9180 series programmable DC
power supplies offer industry leading 
performance, designed to meet the most 
demanding applications in R&D, design 
verification and production test. All 9 models
deliver clean, stable and precise output
power due to the supplies’ exceptionally low
ripple and noise, low temperature coefficient,
