Signal Chain Power (SCP) Hardware Evaluation Platform
Signal Chain Power (SCP) Hardware Evaluation Platform
The Signal Chain Power (SCP) hardware platform enables signal chain designers to quickly develop, prototype, and evaluate complete power solutions for instrumentation, test & measurement, and industrial automation precision signal chains. The central design philosophy behind SCP is to box up power management design expertise and share it with signal conditioning systems engineering groups using an easy-to-configure plug-and-play system. Along with the SCP hardware platform and SCP Configurator software tool, SCP includes complete schematics, BOM, and PCB artwork for the system designer.
The SCP hardware platform features:
- Easily produce multirail configurations via plug-and-play terminal boards
- Swap out boards in seconds for comparative testing and noise optimization
- Compact form factor keeps system small
- Configuration resistors are 0805 with oversized pads for easy rework
- Supported topologies include:
- Boost, Buck, Buck-Boost, SEPIC, and Inverting switching regulators
- Positive and negative linear regulators
- Silent Switcher® and ultra-high PSRR LDO products available for noise-critical applications
Signal Chain Power Platform Simplifies Evaluation
Developing custom power trees for instrumentation applications using modified standard demo boards can be time intensive. Signal Chain Power (SCP) is a specialty power supply evaluation system that snaps together for fast noise performance.
