3.6.4.1 VOLTAGE MODE
With the power supply in voltage mode (see Figure 3-15) and the digitally programmed output
voltage at zero, varying the high impedance voltage source from 0 to –1V causes the output
voltage of the power supply to vary linearly from 0 to Eomax with a slope of (Eomax) volts per
volt. The following equations give the output voltage as determined by a high impedance volt-
age source V

.

Eo = (V

) x (11.1K/1.1K) x (–1) (10K/10K) x (–1) (R/10K)
= –(R) x |V
EXT
| (V d-c)
where
R = Internal feedback resistance equal to correction resistance (K-ohms), determined by
Model (see Table 3-10).
V
EXT
= External low impedance voltage source. This source can be either a d-c source deliver-
ing a negative output voltage, or a function generator with an internal negative bias. If
the bias is not available from the function generator, use the digital programming fea-
ture of the BHK-MG to provide proper bias to avoid clipping the waveform at the output
of the power supply.

3.6.4.2 CURRENT MODE
With the power supply in current mode (see Figure 3-16) and the digitally programmed output
voltage at zero, varying the high impedance voltage source from 0 to –1V causes the output cur-
rent of the power supply to vary linearly from 0 to Iomax with a slope of (Iomax) mA per volt. The
following equations give the output current as determined by the low impedance voltage source
V
