Expand i7090 Powering Capability
应用文章
The increasing demand on Printed Circuit Board (PCB) testing to meet manufacturing needs often require customers to purchase more systems, incurring higher infrastructure cost with bigger footprint. With the new Keysight i7090 Massively Parallel Board Test System, it offers up to 20 cores in parallel with PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation (PXI) based in-circuit test capability.
The i7090 in-circuit test has a power relay board which provides 16 sets of power relays and 24 sets of GP-Relays. Each set of power relay corresponds to a set of power supply channels from the N6700 power supplies. With the 24 sets of built in General Purpose (GP) Relays, the i7090 can now power up to 20 panel boards to meet the needs of up to 20 cores parallel in-circuit test capability.
This application note described on how to power up 20 panel boards with the existing 16 sets of power relay built into the system with the GP-Relay.
