UNI-T UDP4303S Precision Linear DC Power Supply
Overview
The UNI-T UDP4303S is a 4-channel, 297W precision programmable linear DC power supply with fully isolated outputs: two 0β32V/3A channels, one 0β15V/3A channel, and one 0β6V/10A channel. The linear topology delivers exceptionally clean output with ripple under 350 Β΅Vrms β critical for sensitive analog circuits, precision sensor development, and any application where switching noise is unacceptable.
With 8 kSa/s output sampling across all four channels, 1 Β΅A current resolution, 1 ms programming time resolution, and a built-in waveform display, the UDP4303S provides real-time visibility into transient load behavior that competing supplies simply cannot match. Series/parallel/tracking modes, a controllable bleeder circuit, and comprehensive OVP/OCP/OTP protection round out a professional-grade instrument backed by a 5-year warranty.

Precision That Sets It Apart
-
Four Independent Channels (CH1 & CH2: 32V/3A, CH3: 15V/3A, CH4: 6V/10A)
Power multi-rail embedded designs from a single instrument β digital core, analog front-end, I/O, and sensor power simultaneously. No external wiring needed for series/parallel combinations. -
1 Β΅A Resolution Across All Channels
The low-current measurement mode samples down to 20 mA with 1 Β΅A resolution on all four channels β measure sleep-mode current draw, standby leakage, and IoT sensor consumption directly from the power supply. -
8 kSa/s Waveform Capture
See exactly what your load is doing in real time. The built-in waveform display captures voltage, current, and power transients across all channels simultaneously β no external oscilloscope needed for power behavior analysis.
1 Β΅A current resolution β 1000Γ finer than previous-generation supplies
Real-Time Output Waveform Display
The UDP4303S puts a built-in waveform analyzer on every channel. At 8 kSa/s across all four channels, you can observe voltage, current, and power behavior in real time β capturing inrush currents, transient load steps, and power-up sequences without connecting a separate oscilloscope. The waveform view displays min/max/offset values and supports adjustable time/div and amplitude/div scaling for detailed analysis.

1 ms Arbitrary Waveform Programming
Program up to 512 voltage/current/time groups with 1 ms dwell time resolution β 100Γ finer than previous-generation supplies. Built-in waveform templates (sine, ramp, triangle, pulse, and more) let you create complex output profiles in seconds. Every channel, including series and parallel modes, supports list output for automated test sequences, battery charge simulation, and device stress testing.

Protect Your DUT with Configurable OCP
The UDP4303S provides adjustable over-current protection with the fastest response time under 3 ms β fast enough to protect sensitive components from damage. The configurable OCP delay (0β10 seconds) prevents false triggers during power-on inrush. "Setting Change" mode detects overcurrent events only after the programmed delay, while "Anyway" mode monitors continuously. Combined with OVP and OTP, every channel is fully protected.

Six Display Styles
The 4.3-inch color LCD offers six distinct display layouts β from a four-channel overview showing voltage, current, and power simultaneously, to a single-channel focused view with large digits for across-the-room readability. Choose the view that matches your workflow and switch between them instantly.
Six display styles β from 4-channel overview to single-channel detail
Series & Parallel in One Touch
Combine CH1 and CH2 through the front-panel menu β no external wiring needed. Series mode delivers up to 64V, parallel mode provides up to 6A, all with the same regulation performance and protection features as independent operation. Channel tracking keeps CH1 and CH2 synchronized automatically when you need matched outputs.
One-touch series (64V) and parallel (6A) operation
Controllable Bleeder Circuit
When you turn off a channel output, the controllable bleeder circuit rapidly discharges the output to zero β preventing residual voltage from reaching sensitive DUTs. For battery testing, turn the bleeder off to prevent the supply from draining the battery when the output is disabled. This flexibility makes the UDP4303S equally suited for both powered-circuit development and battery characterization.
Controllable bleeder circuit β on for fast discharge, off for battery testing
Full-Channel Remote Sense with Protection
All four channels support 4-wire remote sensing through rear-panel terminals, compensating for voltage drop in test leads to ensure the DUT sees exactly the programmed voltage. Unlike competing supplies, the UDP4303S includes sense line protection on all channels β guarding against reverse connection and overvoltage on the sense terminals.

Complete Data Management
The built-in recorder captures voltage, current, and power data from all channels (including series and parallel modes) to a USB flash drive. Store up to 10 status files, 10 list files, and 10 delayer files locally, plus 5 quick-access presets for your most common configurations. Export everything via USB for analysis on your PC.
Local storage, presets, and USB export for complete data management
Full Channel Isolation
All four channels are fully electrically isolated from each other and from the communication interfaces. This means zero crosstalk between channels, freedom to connect outputs in any ground configuration, and safe series/parallel combinations without worrying about ground loops or interference.
Four-channel full isolation β no crosstalk, safe series/parallel connections
Rear Panel Connectivity
The rear panel provides output terminals and remote sense connections for all four channels, plus RS-232, USB Device, LAN, and a 4-line Digital I/O port for trigger input/output. The built-in web server lets you monitor and control the UDP4303S from any browser on your network β no dedicated software required. SCPI command support ensures compatibility with existing automated test frameworks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a linear power supply over switching?
Linear supplies produce fundamentally cleaner output β no switching frequency harmonics, no EMI, and significantly lower ripple. For precision analog circuits, sensitive sensors, audio applications, and any measurement where Β΅V-level noise matters, the difference is measurable. The tradeoff is lower efficiency and more heat, but for bench power at these power levels, that's typically acceptable.
How does the 8 kSa/s sampling compare to other bench supplies?
Most bench power supplies sample at 4 Sa/s or less β you see averaged readings with no visibility into transients. At 8 kSa/s across all four channels, the UDP4303S captures fast current spikes, inrush events, and load transients in real time on the built-in display. This is 2,000Γ faster than previous-generation supplies and eliminates the need for an external oscilloscope in many power characterization tasks.
Can I use the UDP4303S for battery drain testing?
Yes β this is one of its strongest applications. The 1 Β΅A current resolution on all channels captures sleep-mode consumption accurately. The controllable bleeder circuit is key: turn it off during battery testing so the supply doesn't drain the battery when the output is disabled. The 8 kSa/s sampling captures fast wake-up transients that lower-speed supplies miss entirely.
What interfaces does the UDP4303S support for remote control?
USB Device, LAN (with built-in web server), RS-232, and a 4-line Digital I/O port for trigger input/output. All interfaces support SCPI commands. The web server provides browser-based control from any device on your network without installing dedicated software.
