The Agilent/Keysight 6643A is a programmable DC power supply delivering 0–20 V at 0–5 A (100 W) for precision testing, research, and device characterization. The unit combines exceptionally tight load and line regulation (≤0.02% + 5 mV) with low output noise (≤1 mV RMS in CV mode, ≤2 mA RMS in CC mode), making it suitable for sensitive analog and power electronics applications. Fast transient response (≤300 µs for 1% voltage change across 50–100% load steps) ensures stable operation under dynamic conditions.
Technical Specifications
Output voltage programs from 0–20 V with 10 mV resolution and ±(0.1% of setting + 0.05% of range) accuracy. Current output spans 0–5 A with 1 mA resolution and ±(0.2% of setting + 0.1% of range) accuracy. Voltage readback achieves ±(0.05% of reading + 10 mV); current readback, ±(0.1% of reading + 2 mA).
Analog programming interfaces accept 0–5 VDC inputs (1 V/V for voltage, 1 A/V for current). Remote sensing compensates for output lead losses. The digital front panel displays both voltage and current in real time.
