Technical data

These isolated dual range dc power
supplies provide the stable and
reliable dc power that the manufac-
turing test system designer needs.
These models offer constant-voltage/
constant-current outputs, so they
can serve as either voltage or current
sources. They can be used either
for manual or automated testing,
and have VXIPlug&Play drivers to
further simplify computer control.
The E3640A Series dc power
supplies can be quickly integrated
into a test system. Both front and
rear panel terminals are provided
for easy wiring. Remote sensing
eliminates the errors in voltage
regulation due to voltage drops in
the load leads. Delicate DUTs are
protected by overvoltage protection.
Up to 5 operating states can be
stored for later recall.
The E3640A Series dc power
supplies are intended for manufac-
turing test systems where moderate
speed and accuracy are required.
For systems which require even
higher accuracy for programming
or measurement, or where test
throughput must be optimized,
consider the Agilent 6600A Series
of Performance dc Power Supplies.
