A range:
<2ms typical.
100nA range:
<20ms typical.
DC floating voltage:
Output can be floated up to ±250VDC from chassis ground.
Remote sense operating range:
1
Maximum voltage between HI and SENSE HI = 3V. Maximum voltage between LO and
SENSE LO = 3V.
Voltage output headroom:
200V range:
Max. output voltage = 202.3V; total voltage drop across source leads (maximum 1
ȍ
per source lead).
20V range:
Max. output voltage = 23.3V; total voltage drop across source leads (maximum 1
ȍ
per source lead).
Over temperature protection:
Internally-sensed temperature overload puts unit in standby mode.
Voltage source range change overshoot:
Overshoot into a 200k load, 20MHz BW, 300mV typical.
Current source range change overshoot:
<5% of larger range + 300mV/Rload + 60nA typical (see “Current source output
settling time” for additional test conditions).
