Description

The HP 6621A-6624A, and 6627A Multiple Output Linear Power Supplies feature a combination of programming capabilities and linear power supply performance that make systems applications. The five models in this family offer a total of up to 200 watts of output power, with voltages up to 50 volts and currents up to 10 amps. The output combinations that correspond to each model are shown in Table 1-1. Each isolated output can supply power in two ranges as shown in Figure 1-1. This flexibility allows you to use the same output to power loads with different voltage and current requirements. No separate command is required to program ranges; the power supply automatically selects one of the operating ranges based on the last parameter (voltage or current) that is set. Additionally, each output contains an active downprogrammer, which means that voltage downprogramming can be accomplished as quickly as upprogramming, even without a load.

The output voltage and current for any output can be monitored with the front panel display. Output specific error messages are also displayed. Front panel annunciators show the operating status of the instrument. The front panel keypad lets you set and readback the voltage limit, current limit, and overvoltage trip level of any output. With the keypad, you can also enable or disable outputs, mask and delay bits in the fault register, enable overcurrent protection, reset overvoltage and overcurrent protection, and return to local operating mode.

Your multiple output power supply can be both a listener and a talker on the HP-IB. (HP-IB is Hewlett-Packard's implementation of IEEE-488). The built-in interface is tailored to the supply, resulting in simpler programming. Voltage and current settings can be sent directly to the specified dual range output in volts and amps.

Service can be requested from your power supply for up to ten reasons. The supply responds to a serial poll by identifying the output on which the fault occurred. Self-contained measurement and readback capability eliminate the need for externally scanning the outputs using a separate DVM. Upon command the supply will measure its output voltage or current and return the value on the HP-IB. The following functions are implemented via the HP-IB:

Voltage and current programming.

Voltage and current measurement and readback.

Present and accumulated status readback.

Programmable service request mask.

Programmable overvoltage and overcurrent protection.

6624A, 6621A, 6623A specifications

The HP 6623A, 6621A, and 6624A are precision DC power supplies widely recognized for their reliability and performance in various laboratory and industrial applications. These models are part of HP's 662X series, designed to cater to the needs of engineers, researchers, and technicians who require accurate power sources for their testing and development activities.

The main features of the HP 6623A, 6621A, and 6624A include their high stability, low ripple, and excellent load regulation, ensuring that the output voltage and current remain stable during testing. The power supplies provide multiple output channels, allowing users to power multiple devices simultaneously. The flexibility in setting voltage and current levels makes these models ideal for a wide range of applications, including semiconductor testing, device characterization, and system integration.

One of the standout technologies in the HP 662X series is the use of smart design techniques that minimize noise and enhance output performance. These power supplies incorporate advanced feedback mechanisms to maintain steady output, even under varying load conditions. Additionally, they feature programmable outputs, which means users can adjust the output levels through a connected computer or control system, streamlining the testing process and improving efficiency.

The HP 6623A model offers three independent outputs, with total power capabilities of 40 watts. It includes a 0-20V output, which can deliver up to 2A of current, along with two additional outputs that are adjustable. The 6621A provides a single output option, delivering a maximum of 20V and 2A, making it well-suited for simple applications where a single power source is required. In contrast, the HP 6624A stands out with its four independent output channels, providing a total of 60 watts, making it the most versatile of the three models.

Characteristics of these power supplies include user-friendly interfaces, allowing for easy configuration and monitoring of settings. LED indicators provide real-time feedback on voltage and current levels, enabling users to quickly assess the performance of their tests. Moreover, built-in protection features safeguard both the power supply and the connected devices from overvoltage and overcurrent conditions.

Overall, the HP 6623A, 6621A, and 6624A power supplies embody advanced engineering and design, making them invaluable tools for professionals looking for high-quality, reliable power sources for their electronic testing needs.
