Description
Product Overview
The verified specification set for the Keysight E3640A covers output channel: 1, rated output: 0–8 V, 0–3 A or 0–20 V, 0–1.5 A, 30 W, range/channel characteristics: Each channel provides two ranges: low voltage and large current and high voltage and small current; the maximum voltage and maximum current of the two ranges cannot be cross-combined, remote interface: GPIB (IEEE-488) and RS-232, and ripple and Noise: Low ripple, low noise linear output. As a single-channel programmable dual-range DC power supply, it is suited to laboratory circuit development, with related use in component and device testing and bench and production power delivery. It is part of the E3640 Series Bench DC Power Supplies. Exact options, interfaces, accessories, calibration scope, and regional availability depend on the ordered configuration and should be confirmed before purchase.

Selection Notes
Evaluate whether the Keysight E3640A meets the application by comparing output channel (1) and rated output (0–8 V, 0–3 A or 0–20 V, 0–1.5 A, 30 W). In addition, confirm the required output voltage, current, power, channel count, transient response, remote sensing, and control interfaces. Confirm regional availability, calibration scope, included items, and delivery requirements before ordering.
