Description
Product Overview
The Keysight E3642A is a single-channel programmable dual-range DC power supply specified for laboratory circuit development. It is part of the E3640 Series Bench DC Power Supplies. Verified model data includes output channel: 1, rated output: 0–8 V, 0–5 A or 0–20 V, 0–2.5 A, 50 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. The same capabilities support 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.
