MULTICHANNEL POWER SUPPLY

摘要

Systems and methods for a multichannel power supply are disclosed. The multichannel power supply includes a front end circuit configured to receive an input voltage and to provide a regulated front end direct current (DC) voltage. A multichannel source circuit is coupled to the front-end circuit. The multichannel source circuit includes a controller, a reference voltage circuit, and a plurality of source circuits. Each source circuit in the plurality of source circuits represents a distinct output channel of the multichannel power supply. The multichannel source circuit is configured to generate a constant current output for each source circuit in the plurality of source circuits. Each load in a plurality of loads is connected to a corresponding source circuit in the plurality of source circuits and is configured to receive the corresponding constant current output via the corresponding source circuit.
