Higher Current at More Voltages with Auto Ranging Power Supply

White Paper

Power Supplies are like shoes in that you need one that fits your application. In terms of power, a power supply that is too small will not correctly power your device, while a power supply that is too large will not offer enough resolution to set voltage and current limits. Autoranging, auto-series, and auto-parallel allow a supply with lower output power to meet the power requirements of more devices. Reduced output noise, faster response times, and better accuracy are some of the benefits of a power supply with lower power. The new 200 W E36200 series is an autoranging power supply that replaces the older 200 W E3633A and E3634A and offers a real-world comparison of the different power supply architectures.
