Pulse Current Option
For applications that require a high peak current, the peak current limit can be increased to 8 Amps by
appending the order code with “-PULSE”, e.g. “PX200-V0,200-PULSE”. In this configuration, the average
current limit remains the same; however, the peak current limit is increased to 8 Amps and the maximum
pulse duration is reduced to the time listed in Table 2. The voltage span is the peak-to-peak output voltage
range, e.g. the voltage span for the -50V to +150V range is 200V .

Table 2. Maximum peak current duration in the pulse configuration
For a current pulse that is less than the peak current limit, the maximum pulse duration is described in
Figure 1.
