The HP/Agilent 6621A is a dual-output linear power supply delivering 80 W across two fully isolated channels. Each output operates in dual-range mode: 0–7 V at 0–10 A (low range) or 0–20 V at 0–4 A (high range), with automatic range selection based on programmed parameters. Outputs can be paralleled or series-connected for enhanced flexibility.
Programming accuracy reaches ±19 mV + 0.06% for voltage and ±100 mA + 0.16% for current. Readback precision is ±20 mV + 0.05% (voltage) and ±20 mA + 0.1% (positive current). Ripple and noise remain well-controlled at 500 µV RMS and 3 mV peak-to-peak across the 20 Hz to 20 MHz band. Load regulation holds voltage to 0.5 mV or 2 mV, while line regulation maintains 0.01% stability. Cross regulation between outputs is 0.25 mV or 1 mV.
