Description
Product Overview
For laboratory circuit development, the Keysight E3648A combines output channel: 2, rated output: 0–8 V, 0–5 A or 0–20 V, 0–2.5 A per channel, 100 W total power, 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 in a dual programmable dual range DC power supply platform. It is part of the E3640 Series Bench DC Power Supplies. It can also be evaluated for component and device testing and bench and production power delivery. Exact options, interfaces, accessories, calibration scope, and regional availability depend on the ordered configuration and should be confirmed before purchase.
Key Features
