INTRODUCTION______________________________________________________________________________________
The same features that make the Model 1651A and 1652 a
good choice for an engineering lab also make them a good choice
for most other solid state electronic applications. These
applications include service shops; industrial production testing
of components, assemblies, and complete equipment; for school
laboratories, and home use by electronic hobbyists.
The features and versatility of these units, especially the
triple output and tracking features, make them an ideal
general purpose power supply for engineering lab
applications. They can serve as a single or multi-voltage
power source, including the bias supply, for breadboard and
prototype circuits and equipment. They can provide single or
simultaneously varying voltages for circuit evaluation. They
can provide tracking (+) and (-) voltages for evaluating
differential amplifiers. They may be used as a battery
eliminator, or to power individual circuit boards or cards
while removed from the system. Their output can be
evaluated while powering a breadboard or prototype circuit to
determine the circuit’s power supply requirements. Their
laboratory quality specifications will meet most engineering
laboratory requirements.
