What is a Programmable power supply?

A programmable power supply is a power supply unit that allows users to program its output voltage and current. This feature makes it possible to set specific conditions required for tests, experiments, or development tasks, which can then be repeated easily. Programmable power supplies are often used in systems where precise control of power is essential, as they can adjust voltage and current within specified ranges. Typically, programmable power supplies are used as DC power sources and can be controlled via a computer or specialized interface. Users can program the unit to vary voltage, current, or even time-dependent changes.

Applications include testing electronic devices, developing prototypes, testing automation systems, and evaluating electrical equipment. This enables developers to simulate various load and condition scenarios, allowing for detailed performance testing of products.
