Constant Power Envelope on Chroma’s 62000P Series DC Programmable Sources

This application note will discuss the benefits of a DC programmable source with constant power envelope versus a conventional DC programmable source. Since power supplies are priced based on rated power, it would be highly desirable to have a power supply that could achieve rated power output regardless of what voltage or current is programmed. Power supplies with a constant power envelope do just that, as compared with conventional power supplies that only achieve rated power at maximum voltage and current. ■
