Keysight Revolutionizes Power Validation with New High-Power ATE Solutions
In response to the growing complexity of power validation in modern test environments, Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) has introduced a groundbreaking portfolio of high-power automated test equipment (ATE) solutions. This new lineup addresses critical challenges faced by engineers, including space constraints, sustainability demands, and the need for intelligent automation. The portfolio features three innovative product families: the RP5900 Series Regenerative DC Power Supplies, the EL4900 Series Regenerative DC Electronic Loads, and the DP5700 Series System DC Power Supplies. Together, these next-generation solutions deliver unmatched density, bi-directional and regenerative capabilities, and advanced automation software, empowering engineers to validate designs more efficiently and accelerate time to market.
The Rising Complexity of Power Validation
Across industries, the demand for higher-power devices is driving increased complexity in power validation. Engineers are tasked with testing devices that require extensive power ranges, greater rack space, manual programming, and heightened security protocols. At the same time, there is mounting pressure to meet sustainability goals and reduce energy waste. Traditional test systems often fall short, as they lack the flexibility, precision, and efficiency needed to address these evolving demands.
Keysight’s latest high-power ATE solutions tackle these challenges head-on. Designed to deliver more power in less space, automate intricate test scenarios, safeguard sensitive data, and minimize energy consumption, these tools enable engineers to validate designs with greater accuracy and repeatability. By streamlining workflows and reducing operational risks, Keysight empowers teams to expand test coverage and bring next-generation technologies to market faster.
A Compact, Efficient, and Sustainable Portfolio
The new high-power ATE supplies range from 1.5 kW to 12 kW and include uni-directional power supplies, bi-directional power supplies, and regenerative electronic loads. These solutions combine superior power density with robust automation capabilities, allowing engineers to test complex, multi-kilowatt devices while minimizing space and energy requirements.
Key Benefits of Keysight’s High-Power ATE Solutions:
- Compact Power, Maximum Density:
Keysight’s new supplies redefine power density, delivering up to 6 kW in just 1U of rack space or 12 kW in 2U. This represents a 2-3x increase in channel density compared to previous systems, enabling engineers to fit more channels into the same footprint. The compact design not only reduces lab space requirements but also lowers cooling needs and overall operating costs. - Automation That Expands Possibilities:
At the heart of Keysight’s offering is its Automated Power Suite, a powerful software platform that simplifies complex testing scenarios. Engineers can automate tasks such as long-duration cycling, state-of-charge battery emulation, and transient replication with consistent accuracy. This capability saves significant time while enhancing test coverage, ensuring that devices meet rigorous performance standards. - Built-in Security and Sustainability:
Security and sustainability are integral to Keysight’s design philosophy. The new ATE solutions feature removable SD memory, enabling safe transitions between classified and open labs. Additionally, the software complies with NIST SP800-171 and SSDF standards, providing enterprise-grade security for sensitive workflows. On the sustainability front, regenerative operation allows energy to be returned to the grid instead of being wasted as heat. This not only reduces operational costs but also supports organizations in achieving their environmental goals.
Empowering Engineers to Meet Modern Challenges
Carol Leh, Vice President of Keysight’s Electronic Industrial Solutions Group Center of Excellence, emphasized the importance of this new portfolio: “Engineers today face unprecedented challenges as power devices become larger, more complex, and more critical to innovation across industries. With this new portfolio of high-power ATE solutions, we are giving engineers the density, automation, and sustainability they need to accelerate validation, reduce risks, and confidently bring next-generation technologies to market.”
As industries continue to push the boundaries of power technology, the ability to validate devices efficiently and effectively is paramount. Keysight’s high-power ATE solutions provide engineers with the tools they need to overcome modern testing hurdles, from managing higher power requirements to ensuring secure and sustainable operations.
