The Tektronix 2268-100-8 is an 850W DC power supply module engineered for automated test applications requiring precise voltage and current regulation. This 1U, half-rack unit delivers 100V maximum output voltage and 8.5A maximum current, supporting Constant Voltage, Constant Current, and Constant Power operating modes. Low output ripple and noise—80mVp-p and 8mVRMS typical—ensure clean power delivery to sensitive test circuits.
