Zero-Volt Loading Connections
As shown in Figure 3-15, the Electronic Load can be connected in series with a voltage source or auxiliary power supply
greater than 3 V so that the Electronic Load can test devices at its full current capacity down to a zero-volt level. Remote
sensing is recommended for improved load regulation and when turning the short on.
