General Information

Introduction

This chapter contains a general description of your power supply as well as its performance specifications. Information about options, accessories, and GP-IB cables is also provided. This manual describes the Agilent 6625A, 6626A, 6628A, and Agilent 6629A power supplies. Unless stated otherwise, the information in this manual applies to all of these models. Information that is specific to one model only is identified as such in this manual.

Safety Considerations

This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument, which means that it is provided with a protective earth terminal. This terminal must be connected to a power source that has a 3-wire ground receptacle. Review the instrument and this manual for safety markings and instructions before operation. Refer to the Safety Summary page at the beginning of this manual for a summary of general safety information. Safety information for specific procedures is located at appropriate places in this manual.

Instrument and Manual Identification

Agilent Technologies power supplies are identified by a two-part serial number, i.e. 2601A-00101. The first part of the serial number (the prefix) is a number/letter combination that denotes either the date of manufacture or the date of a significant design change. It also indicates the country of origin. (Starting at 1960, 26 = 1986; 01 = the first week of the year; A = U.S.A.) The second part of the serial number is a different sequential number assigned to each instrument starting with 00101.

Options

Options 100,120, 220, and 240 simply determine which line voltage is selected at the factory. For information about changing the line voltage setting, see line voltage conversion paragraph on page 29.

Option 750 consists of a fault indicator (FLT) and remote inhibit (INH) circuit and relay control, which provide additional shutdown protection should either the GP-IB and/or controller fail. This Option is described in a separate document entitled, ’’Appendix E Option 750 Operating Instructions for the Multiple Output Linear System DC Power Supply, Agilent Models 6621A, 6622A, 6623A, 6624A, and 6627A’’ (Agilent P/N 5957-6372).

6629A, 6625A, 6626A, 6628A specifications

Agilent Technologies, a recognized leader in electronic test and measurement solutions, has developed a series of precision power supplies ideal for a variety of applications in both research and industry. The Agilent 6628A, 6626A, 6625A, and 6629A are part of the Agilent 6000 series and stand out due to their innovative technologies and robust functionalities.

The Agilent 6628A is a triple-output power supply, featuring two 0 to 20 V outputs capable of delivering up to 3 A each, along with a 5 V output that can supply 5 A. This combination is perfect for supplying power to devices that require multiple supply voltages simultaneously, making it an excellent choice for testing and development purposes.

The Agilent 6626A, on the other hand, offers dual output capabilities with higher specifications. Each of its outputs can be adjusted from 0 to 25 V and delivers up to 3 A, providing enhanced flexibility for designers and engineers working with various devices. Additionally, the 6626A's compact size and lightweight design make it easy to integrate into test setups without occupying excessive space.

For applications that require comprehensive monitoring, the Agilent 6625A provides a unique solution with its built-in digital voltmeter (DVM). This power supply comes with two 0 to 25 V outputs, both capable of 3 A. The integrated DVM allows real-time measurement and displays voltage and current values, ensuring accurate readings during experimentation and testing.

Lastly, the Agilent 6629A is designed for high-performance applications, providing up to four outputs, including two adjustable outputs that can be set between 0 to 35 V and deliver 5 A each. This model is particularly suited for environments where multiple devices need to be powered simultaneously with varying voltage requirements.

All four models come equipped with key features including ease of programming, precision regulation, and superior load transient response. They employ advanced technologies like low-noise operation and excellent line regulation, ensuring stable performance under varying load conditions. Additionally, safety features such as overvoltage protection, current limiting, and rapid recovery from overloads guarantee reliable operation.

In summary, Agilent's 6628A, 6626A, 6625A, and 6629A power supplies provide versatile, precise, and reliable solutions for all electronic testing needs. Their characteristics and dedicated functionalities make them indispensable tools for engineers, researchers, and developers across numerous fields. Whether it's for prototyping, testing, or production, these power supplies deliver the quality and performance that professionals expect from Agilent Technologies.
