testing multi-output AC/DC power supplies, DC/DC converters,
chargers, batteries, adapters, and power electronic components.
They are excellent for research, development, production, and
incoming inspection applications.
The 63600's stat e of the art design uses DSP techn ology to
simulate non-linear loads using an unique CZ operation mode
allowing realistic loading behavior.
The 63600 series can draw its rated current under very low voltage
(0.4V typical). This unique feature guarantees the best loading
performance for modern Point-of-Load conditions and fuel cells.
The 63600 series can simulate a wide range of dynamic loading
applications, with programmable load levels, slew rates, duration,
and conducting voltage. The 63600 also has a dynamic sweep
function to meet the test requirements of ATX power supplies. The
instrument allows up to 100 sets of system operating status which
can be stored in the EEPROM and recalled instantly for automated
testing application.
Real time measurement of voltage and current are integrated into
each 63600 load module using a 16-bit meas urement circuit
with three current ranges. The user can perform online voltage
measurements and adjustments or simulate short circuit test using

the simple keypad on the front panel.
With the VFD display and rotary knob, the 63600 loads offer
versatile front panel operation. Users are able to control the 63600
family remotely via Ethernet, USB, or GPIB interface.
Also included in the 63600 are self-diagnostic routines and full
protections against OP, OC, OT and alarm indicating OV, reverse
polarity. This ensures the quality and reliability of the 63600 and
provides protection of units under test.
