The Sorensen Asterion AST40-42 DC power supply is the latest addition to the Asterion platform of power test solutions. These fixed range supplies are traditional and economical rectangular wave output power supplies with all the enhanced operating advantages standard with the Asterion platform. The Sorensen AST40-42 is controlled by a digital signal processor (DSP) and can be operated from the intuitive and easy-to-use front panel touch screen or standard LXI Ethernet, USB, and RS232 control interfaces, as well as via the optional GPIB or EtherCAT control interface. .

The Sorensen Asterion AST40-42 is designed for testing today's complex electronics, including telecommunications and commercial electronics that require low-profile, lightweight power supplies with high power density. The touch screen function group icons include a dashboard, output programming parameters, measurements, sequencing, setup, control interfaces, applications, and system settings. Control resolution is adjusted using a dynamic speed change algorithm that combines the benefits of precise control over small parameter changes with fast sweeps over the entire range.
