Figure 3.1 Operating Modes

Constant Voltage Mode Operation The power supply will operate in constant voltage mode whenever the load current IL is less than the current limit setting ISET, or: IL < ISET (Note: IL = VSET / RL)

In constant voltage mode, the power supply maintains the output voltage at the selected value (VSET) while the load current IL varies with the load requirements.

Constant Current Mode Operation The power supply will operate in constant current mode whenever the load resistance is low enough that the load current IL is equal to the current limit setting ISET (Note: VL=ISETRL)

In constant current mode, the power supply maintains the output current at the selected value (ISET) while the load voltage varies with the load requirements.

Automatic Mode Crossover This feature allows the power supply to automatically switch operating modes in response to changing load requirements. If, for instance, the power supply was operating in Constant Voltage Mode (IL < ISET), and the load changed so that the load current (IL) became equal to the current limit setting (ISET), the power supply would automatically switch into Constant Current Mode and the output voltage would vary in response to changes in load current. If the additional load was subsequently removed so that the load current was again less than the current limit setting, the supply would automatically return to Constant Voltage Mode.
