Verification 15
Performance Tests
Performance tests check all the specifications of the power supply. The tests are grouped into constant-voltage mode tests
(Table 2-4) and constant-current mode tests (Table 2-5).
Constant Voltage (CV) Tests
Test Setup
Connect your dc voltmeter leads to only +S and -S (see Figure 2-1), because the power supply regulates the voltage between
these points, not between the + and - output terminals .
Test Procedures
Perform the test procedures in Table 2-4. The CV tests are:
• Voltage Programming and Readback Accuracy.
• CV Load Effect.
• CV Source Effect.
• CV Noise (PARD).
• Transient Recovery Time.
Note The tests are independent and may be performed in any order.
