Zero-Voltage Loading
As shown in Figure 7-8, the electronic load
can be connected in series with a DC
voltage source (DC power supply in CV
mode) with an output voltage greater than:
•
0.8Vdc (42L0860 & 42L0824),
•
0.3Vdc (42L0803)
This allows the device under test
connected to the electronic load to be
operated down to a zero volt condition.
The external DC voltage source provides
the minimum operating voltage required
by the electronic load. This application is
suitable for low voltage battery cell high
discharge current testing.
