Arbin Instruments The BT-HSP (High Speed Pulse Testing System) is designed to perform sub-mil isecond pulses on bat eries or supercapacitors, which are common in wireless or telecommunication applications. Arbin’s pulse capability covers a broad range of sub-mil isecond communication profiles, which can handle multi-stage pulses as fast as 100 microseconds per stage and up to 10 stages per pulse. The pulses have a maximum length of 2700 seconds. Each channel of the system functions as an independent potentiostat/galvanostat. Commonly used charge/discharge functions such as ramps, staircases and Model Numbers: constant current, voltage, power, and load functions may be used on al channels BT-HSP 1/4 at the same time. Dif erent pulse profiles may also be performed across groups of four or eight channels depending on the configuration. BT-HSP 1/8 The circuit is a bipolar design that af ords tremendous flexibility by ensuring cross-zero linearity and negligible current switching time. All these capabilities are further enhanced by our MITS Pro Software, which according to customer feedback is a step above al other software in the industry. ■ Testing of cel ular phones and other smart communication devices ■ Cover various standard pulse-testing applications such as GSM, CDMA, iDEN, GPRS, etc. ■ Other custom user-defined pulse profiles with 2-10 stages ■ Simultaneous pulse generation and data logging ■ Multiple, independent channels ■ Three current ranges per channel ■ Rise times as fast as 50µS ■ Windows 7 based software ■ Many input auxiliaries available such as temperature and voltage ■ Voltage clamp to protect from over or under charge and discharge BT-HSP +1 979 690 2751 www.arbin.com Arbin Instruments Model Numbers: BT-HSP 1/4 BT-HSP 1/8 MODEL NUMBER BT-HSP 1/4 BT-HSP 1/8 Number of Micro Control ers Four main channels Eight main channels shared by one MC Shared by one MC Chassis Size 20.5U Chassis Number of Channels per PC 24 32 Voltage Range (min/max) 0 to 5V Accuracy of Voltage Control & Reading ±5mV Minimum V at Maximum Current 0V @ 5A Voltage Measurements Input Impedance ~10GΩ Current Ranges Provided High: 5A ± 5mA Medium: 1mA ± 1mA 0.05% Ful Scale Accuracy Low: 100mA ± 100uA Maximum Continuous Power Output per Channel 25W Current Rise Time1 50uS 100uS Bipolar Circuit Board Type2 LPLAB-Arm7 Current and Voltage Resolution 16 Bit Voltage Clamp Group-Based Voltage Clamp AC Power Supply 110 VAC with 30A circuit breaker Connection for Batteries Arbin manufactured cables with al igator clips or other types of connectors upon customer request.

Up to 300 points per pulse can be logged across a maximum of 10 stages per single pulse. This application can be useful in instances where fast data logging is required to catch voltage and/or current data during a transition. By capturing more data, the pulse profile can be more accurately defined, especial y during the charge/discharge transition period (see software screen below). This helps to identify transition in the charge/discharge process of the objects being tested.

Positive current refers to charge, and negative current refers to discharge. Voltage (V) Outputs constant voltage to the cel or bat ery at the value specified C-Rate C-Rate is common method for indicating the discharge as wel as the charge current of a bat ery. It can be expressed as I=M*C where I=current A; C=bat ery capacity; M is the C-rate value Rest The bat ery is disconnected from the charge/discharge circuit but remains connected to the voltage measurement circuit to enable open-circuit voltage measurement Power (W) Outputs constant power to the cel of bat ery at the value specified. This is accomplished by iteratively measuring the bat ery voltage and calculating the current necessary according to Ohm’s law in order to achieve the power level set by the user. Each time the channel is sampled, the calculation is performed al owing the current to quickly stabilize at the desired power level and maintain this power level as the voltage changes. Load (Ohm) Applies a constant resistance load to the bat ery at the value specified. A positve value for load wil result in a positive current and a negative value for load wil result in a negative current Set Variable(s) Change test related variables including channel capacity, energy, and al test counter variables Current Ramp Generates a current ramp with a positive scan rate for increasing current and a negative scan rate to generate decreasing current ramp Voltage Ramp Generates a voltage ramp with a positive scan rate that increases the voltage ramp, and negative scan rate generates decreasing voltage ramp. Current Staircase Generates a current staircase with increasing current, and negative decreasing current staircase with adjustable step amplitude. Voltage Staircase Positive dV/stair generates increasing voltage staircase, and negative dV/stair generates decreasing voltage staircase.

Several safety provisions are provided in every Arbin system. There are multiple levels of fusing provided inside the system for further protection at the channel/board and power supply levels. The software also has several safety functions with which the user can avoid over charging the cel s, over discharging, overheating, etc. Smart UPS: This option uses a very smal Smart UPS to back up power to the computer only. This al ows the user to enable auto resume options to al of specific channels after a stop due to power interruption. Provision is provided for the user to intervene if they so desire before the channels resume. This is an essential component for any user with an unreliable power source unless the whole facility is on backup power. BT-HSP +1 979 690 2751 www.arbin.com
