Example for a variable load resistance:
Required: The Vset and Iset parameter have been coupled for the selected
output channel.

•If R
load increases from 8Ω to 16Ω, then Rload > Rc, so the output channel

oes
into the CV mode (refer to fi
g
ure 5.5.7). This means that Vload = 8V and
Iload becomes 8V/16Ω = 0.5A.
•If R
load decreases from 8Ω to 4Ω, then Rload < Rc, so the output channel
g
oes
into the CC mode (refer to fi
g
ure 5.5.7). This means that Iload = 1A and Vload
becomes 1A x 4Ω = 4V.
Example for a fixed load resistance:
Required: - Fixed load resistance Rload = 10Ω.
- Overcurrent protection disabled (OCP DIS).
- The Vset and Iset parameter have not been coupled.
