With its deep technical accumulation and extensive market research in the field of bias current source, Tonghui Electronics has launched a high power DC bias current source-TH1779 series DC bias current source.
TH1779 DC bias current source adopts high-performance microprocessor, can provide single 0.1-50A constant current output, and can be master-slave mode parallel to enhance the maximum output current to 0.1-300A, with excellent tailorability and scalability.
TH1779 DC bias current source adopts a new generation of AC/DC superposition test principle, adapting to high precision and high frequency test requirements. Built-in high-performance embedded MCU can quickly respond to the status or failure of the master and slave and real-time instructions to help improve work efficiency.
The TH1779 DC bias current source is suitable for AC/DC superposition testing of magnetic inductors and test occasions requiring high currents, and can also be used as a magnetization current source for analysis of magnetic materials.
The TH1779 DC Bias Current Source provides both physical keypad and footswitch controls to ensure operator safety, and can be used for manual control when connecting to other unspecified models of LCR digital bridges or other brands of LCR bridges with Whitney.
The TH1779 DC bias current source is equipped with a test interface that can be directly connected to our specified LCR bridges and can be directly controlled by the corresponding LCR digital bridge.

Test Signal Level Correlation for Magnetic Inductors
Signal level correlation exists for all components: component values are related to the magnitude of the signal level at a specified test frequency.
Some components are extremely sensitive to signal levels, such as ceramic capacitors with high K (high dielectric constant) values and inductors with high permeability.
Therefore, it is important to specify the measured signal level (voltage or current) for such devices. The correlation between the component and the signal level is shown in the following figure

Test Signal Level Correlation for Magnetic Inductors
Components are correlated with the DC bias voltage or bias current applied to them. The superposition of AC and DC signals is extremely common in the various uses of components. For example, the junction capacitance of diodes and transistors, high-K ceramic capacitors, electrolytic capacitors, inductors with ceramic cores or transformers. The DC voltage or current superimposed on the different parameters will cause changes, some device parameters may produce drastic changes.

As seen in the above figure, the magnetic inductance decreases as the superimposed DC bias current increases.
Since the external DC bias current is usually large, the amplitude of the DC voltage level signal at both ends of the inductor will be much larger than the amplitude of the AC level signal output by the LCR. Therefore, after superimposing the DC bias current, the AC level signal set by the LCR has basically no effect on the inductance.
In order to ensure the stability of the inductance test, it is usually sufficient to set the LCR AC level to 1V.
