Confidently supply your DUT with clean, reliable
power
Accurate voltage/current programming and readback capability
provide excellent control on the power supply and power mea-
surement. The low, normal mode noise specifications assure
quality power for precision circuitry applications, enabling you to
power your design with confidence. Besides the 0.01% load and
line regulation, the E36300 Series can also maintain a steady
output when power line and load changes occur, giving you more
peace of mind. The built-in capability to measure low range
current (<20mA) reduces the need for an external multimeter and
simplifies the setup.
Improved measurement accuracy with 4-wire
sensing
To further improve the voltage regulation and measurement
accuracy of the DC outputs, the E36312/13A models offer 4-wire
sensing capability, also called remote sensing, on each of the rear
terminals. Remote sensing permits the output module to monitor
and regulate its output voltage directly at the DUT input terminals
instead of the power supply’s output terminals. Four wire sensing
is particularly useful for compensating for the voltage drops in
the power leads when using the higher output currents generated
by the E36313A. For convenience, an internal relay controls
switching between 2-wire mode (local sensing) and 4-wire mode
(remote sensing) thus eliminating the need for shorting bars or
jumpers commonly found on other bench power sources.
Keysight understands that protecting your DUT is crucial to limit
testing, so the E36300 Series includes Over Voltage Protection
(OVP), Over Current Protection (OCP), and Over Temperature
Protection (OTP) to prevent damage.
Reduce space, cost and noise with convenient
benchtop capabilities
All three outputs on the E36300 Series can be turned on and
off independently, so you are essentially getting three power
supplies in one instrument which saves cost on maintenance.
It also saves space on the bench as you can power up multiple
analog/digital circuitries or devices with a single instrument.
For even more voltage or current, Channel 2 and Channel 3 of
the E36312/13A set series or parallel mode on the front panel
to double the output voltage (up to 50 V) or current (up to 4 A)
respectively.
The E36300 Series is one of the quietest power supplies in its
class. It automatically lowers the fan speed under the load/ no
load condition to eliminate annoying acoustic noise through a
thermal control circuit. At a typical noise level of less than 26
dBA under no load condition and less than 50 dBA under full
load condition, it allows you to work in a quiet and undisturbed
environment.
