A whole family of low-cost
power supplies to meet your
needs

The HP E3600-series of low-cost
benchtop power supplies give you
the performance of system power
supplies without the high price.
All HP E3600 family members give
you clean power with dependable
regulation and fast transient
response. HP E3600-series single­output models are described on this
page. See page 2 for information on
dual- and triple-output models.

Single-output models

All HP E3600-series single-output
power supplies feature separate
digital-panel meters for monitoring
voltage and current simultaneously,
giving you precise reading and
control capability. All models also
feature 10-turn potentiometers for
accurate adjustment of voltage and
current output settings.

With 0.01 percent load and line
regulation, these instruments keep
the output steady when power line
and load changes occur. The low
normal-mode noise specification of
less than 200µVrms ensures clean
power for precision circuitry.

In all single-output models,
either the positive or negative
terminal can be connected to
ground, providing a positive
or negative voltage output.
Outputs can also be floated
up to 240V from ground.

These instruments also
feature adjustable current
limits, letting you set the
safest current limit without having
to short the output.

HP E3610A, E3611A, and
E3612A single-output models

These popular 30-watt bench
supplies are designed for general
laboratory use. The constant­voltage, constant-current output
allows operation as either a voltage
or current source. The changeover
occurs automatically, based on the
load. Each of these models has two
ranges, allowing more current at a
lower voltage. For higher output
voltages, supplies can be
connected in series.

HP E3614A, E3615A, E3616A
and E3617A models feature
overvoltage protection

These flexible 60-watt, single-range
power supplies can be used as
either voltage or current sources.
When output terminal voltage
increases to a preset shut-down
level, an overvoltage protection
circuit disables the output to
protect the device under test (DUT)
from damage. The overvoltage
protection feature is easily
monitored and adjusted from the
front panel.

HP E3600-series
Manual Power Supplies

Affordable, full-featured benchtop
power supplies provide excellent
performance and flexibility

• Linear power supply

• Single, dual or triple output

• 10-turn voltage and current
controls

• Digital voltage and current meters

• Low noise and excellent regulation

Using remote sensing capability,
these instruments automatically
compensate for voltage drop in the
load leads, so you get accurate
voltage at the DUT.

You can combine multiple units in
auto-parallel, auto-series and auto­tracking configurations for greater
output voltage or current capacity.
Front and rear output terminals
allow flexible configuration.
Output voltage and current can be
controlled with external 0- to10-volt
analog voltage or variable
resistance.

Multi-output models

With multiple supplies in a compact
unit, the HP E3620A and E3630A
give you excellent performance
while saving space on your bench.
Both instruments feature tight 0.01
percent line and load regulation and
a low normal-mode noise
specification of less than 0.35mV to

ensure clean power for precision
circuitry. With a common-mode
current specification of less than
1uA, both multiple-output power
supplies minimize power line
current injection.

Like the single-output models in the
HP E3600 series, the HP E3620A
and E3630A feature separate digital
panel meters so you can monitor
voltage and current simultaneously.
They also protect your DUT against
overload and short-circuit damage.
Smooth turn-on and turn-off
transitions keep power spikes out
of your circuits.

HP E3620A dual-output
power supply

The 50-watt HP E3620A dual-output
power supply provides two 0 V to
25 Vdc outputs to satisfy most
bench requirements. The outputs
are completely independent and
isolated.

HP E3630A triple-output
power supply

The 35-watt HP E3630A triple­output power supply provides three
dc outputs: 0 to 6 V with a
maximum current of 1 to 2.5A and 0
to 20 V and 0 to -20 V with a
maximum current of 0.5A. An
autotracking feature lets you use
one voltage control to adjust the
+20 V and -20 V outputs
simultaneously. The outputs track
each other to within 1 percent,
making it easy to adjust the power
supply for circuits requiring
balanced voltages.

3-year warranty

To ensure maximum reliablity and
long life, all HP 3600-series power
supplies undergo the same rigerous
tests as HP top-of-the-line power
supplies. Each instrument comes
with a full 3-year warranty.
