Finland-based Everypin has introduced the PwrBlock 323, a programmable USB-C PD power supply designed specifically for automated test fixtures. It can provide 1 to 32V at up to 3A, with up to 92W output from a 100W USB-C PD source, and supports software-controlled power switching, voltage and current measurement, and power cycling for a device under test (DUT). The company highlights that the PwrBlock 323 can be mounted inside a test jig or stand using its mounting points and pin headers to control and power the DUT directly as part of the automated test sequence. It adds one more option to USB-C programmable lab power supplies such as Ampisu, PocketPD, and BenchVolt PD, PwrBlock 323 specifications: MCU – STMicro STM32G0C1CEU Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller USB 2x USB Type-C ports for power and control 10-pin IDC USB control connector (connects to a host computer or test controller over USB) Expansion – 40-pin [...]
