-digit measurement resolution, as well as various sweep functions and a pulse source
function with a minimum pulse width of 25 s. It can be widely used as power source for evaluating
semiconductors and electronic components in research and development and as power source for
characteristic evaluation systems.
The 6253 characteristics are described below.
• Source and measurement 2 A at 32 V
1 A at 64 V
0.5 A at 110 V
See Figure 1-1, “Output Range.”
• Voltage source/measurement range 300 mV to 100 V
• Current source/measurement range 3 A to 2 A
