Description

The Agilent Model N3280A Component Test DC Source is a quad output dc power supply designed to simplify the testing of integrated circuits. It has the following key features and performance capabilities:

High density – four isolated outputs in a 2U half-rack package

Four quadrant bipolar output

High programming and measurement accuracy (refer to Appendix A)

Active guard available for accurate current measurements

Solid-state output and sense terminal disconnect relays

High GPIB throughput

Additional features include:

Positive and negative overvoltage protection shutdown

Over-temperature and oscillation protection

Programmable current limit in voltage priority mode

Remote Programming

NOTE: With the exception of the power switch, there are no front panel controls for the Agilent N3280A dc source. The N3280A can be controlled only with SCPI programming commands.

The dc source may be remotely programmed via the GPIB bus. GPIB programming is with SCPI commands (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments), which make dc source programs compatible with those of other GPIB instruments. Dc source status registers allow remote monitoring of a wide variety of operating conditions. Refer to chapters 5 and 6 for more information.
