Constant-current/voltage/resistance
mode electronic load: an electronic
load that can operate in one of the
following ways:
CC= ratio of voltage to current
in accordance with the
programmed value regardless
of the input voltage
CV= ratio of voltage to current
in accordance with the
programmed value regardless
of the input current
CR= ratio of voltage to current
while maintaining the
programmed resistance value
Constant-current mode
Constant-resistance mode
Constant-voltage mode
Constant-current/voltage/resistance
regulation: the change in the steady-
state value of the stabilized
electronic load input voltage,
current, or resistance resulting
from a full scale source change,
with all other influence quantities
held constant.
Constant-voltage (CV) mode: a power
supply that stabilizes output voltage
with respect to changes in influence
quantities. Thus, for a change in
load resistance, the output voltage
remains constant while the out-
put current changes by whatever
amount necessary to accomplish this.
Constant-voltage/constant current
(CV/CC) power supply: a power supply
that operates as a constant-voltage
power supply or a constant-current
power supply, depending on load
conditions. The supply acts as a
constant-voltage source for
comparatively large values of load
resistance and as a constant-current
source for comparatively small
values of load resistance.
