Overcurrent Protection. The output will go to the off state (0 volts and min. current) when the overcurrent protection (OCP) feature is enabled and the output is in the + CC mode. To enable the overcurrent protection mode for output 2, send:

OUTPUT 705; "OCP 2,1"

To disable the overcurrent protection mode for output 2, send:

OUTPUT 705; "OCP 2,0"

When overcurrent protection is disabled and the output is in + CC mode, the output current will be limited to and will stay at the ISET value.

Returning the Supply to Local Mode

In the remote mode (RMT annunciator on), the front panel keys have no effect on any of the supply's outputs and only the computer can control the supply. However, you can still use the front panel display to monitor the output voltage and current or check any of the present settings (VSET, ISET, OVSET, etc.) of the selected output channel.

If you want to use the front panel keys to change the output settings, you must return the supply to the local mode. You can return the supply to the local mode (provided that the local lockout command has not been received from the computer) by pressing the LCL key. A change between the local and remote modes (or vice versa) will not result in a change in the power supply outputs. Refer to Chapter 6 for additional details on using the LCL key and operating the supply in the local mode.

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.
