Case Study: Test and Measurement – Calibration and Acoustic Systems

Project Overview

A portable calibration system used the ML600RU for its compact size, wide input range, and stable, low-noise power near sensitive analog circuits.

A manufacturer of acoustic test and measurement equipment required compact, reliable DC/DC power supplies for integration into a portable calibration system. Designed for use in service and diagnostic environments, the system needed to deliver stable, isolated power to sensitive signal-processing and transducer control circuits—while maintaining a rugged, space-efficient design suitable for field and lab use.

Key design goals included:

  • Stable power delivery across a wide input range (e.g., battery packs or adapters
  • Compact size for modular layouts
  • High EMI immunity for signal integrity in precision measurements

The engineering team selected the ML600RU from MicroPower Direct. This 6W SMT converter offers a 4:1 input range, high efficiency, and robust EMI filtering—making it well-suited for applications involving sensitive analog front ends in compact enclosures.

By integrating the ML600RU, the manufacturer improved power stability and design flexibility—supporting reliable calibration performance in a format suitable for both benchtop and portable use.
