Power supply failures are among the most common problems among retro Atari XL/XE systems. An Atari XL/XE PSU failure can lead to expensive repairs, or even render the entire system useless. This is specifically why we have designed the Atari XL/XE power supply tester. It runs a thorough test, minimizing the risk of damage due to an ageing factory power supply.
The Atari XL/XE tester measures the primary +5V DC output voltage and ripple at a constant current of roughly 400mA...500mA. Measurement results are updated on a digital OLED display in real-time, allowing a live evaluation of the power quality.
The power supply tester has an aluminum heat-sink allowing to dissipate excessive power and perform long-term testing. It's designed to work both as a quick diagnostic tool, and for long-term stability tests.
