The TDK-Lambda LPD423A-FM is a dual-output regulated DC power supply engineered for precision laboratory and industrial applications requiring independent voltage and current control. Front-panel meters provide simultaneous monitoring of voltage and current across both outputs, enabling real-time feedback during testing and characterization. Each output operates independently with continuously adjustable polarity selection and electronic current limiting, making this instrument suitable for benchtop configurations and integrated test systems.
Technical Specifications
Output Configuration: Dual independent DC outputs, each selectable for positive or negative polarity. Individual outputs: 0 to ±60 VDC. Series operation extends voltage output to 120 VDC; parallel operation delivers up to 1.4 A combined current.
Current Performance: Temperature-dependent ratings apply to series operation—0.7 A at 30°C, 0.6 A at 40°C, 0.5 A at 50°C, and 0.4 A at 60°C. Parallel operation supports 1.4 A maximum.
Regulation & Stability: Line and load regulation measure less than 0.2% or 5 mA (whichever is greater). RMS ripple: 500 µV. Temperature coefficient: (0.015% + 0.5 mV)/°C.
Input Power: AC input acceptance spans 105–132 VAC, 187–242 VAC, and 205–265 VAC operating windows. Frequency range: 47–440 Hz.
