6630B Series Single-Output,
80-100 W GPIB Power Supplies
Data Sheet
Speed and accuracy for test optimization
This series of linear-regulated 80-100 W
DC power supplies is designed to max-
imize the throughput of DUTs through
the manufacturing test process. Both
programming and measurement
are optimized for speed. The active
downprogrammer can sink up to the
full rated current of the power supply,
which quickly brings the power supply
output to zero volts. The 6630B series
offers many advanced programmable
features including stored states and
status reporting. Programming is
done using industry standard SCPI
commands via the GPIB or RS-232.
Test system integration is further
simplified by using the VXIplug&play
drivers. The optional relays simplify
system design and troubleshooting.
The optional front panel binding posts
make the 6630B series convenient
on the R&D lab bench. The built-in
microamp measurement system helps
the engineer to easily and accurately
monitor the output voltage and current
without a complicated test setup.
Fast, low-noise outputs
Programmable active down-programmer sinks the full rated current
Dual-range, precision low current measurement
Optional isolation and polarity reversal relays
Built-in measurements and advanced programmable features

Supplemental characteristics
for all model numbers
DC floating voltage: Output terminals
can be floated up to ± 240 VDC
maximum from chassis ground
Remote sensing: Up to two volts
dropped in each load lead. Add 2 mV
to the voltage load regulation speci-
fication for each one volt change in
the positive output lead due to load
current change.
Command processing time: Average
time required for the output voltage
to begin to change following receipt
of digital data is 4 ms for the power
supplies connected directly to the
GPIB. (Display disabled).
Output programming response time:
The rise and fall time (10/90% and
90/10%) of the output voltage is less
than 2 ms (400 μs in fast mode). The
output voltage change settles within
1 LSB (0.025% x rated voltage) of final
value in less than 6 ms (2 ms in the
fast mode).
GPIB interface capabilities:
IEEE-488.2, SCPI command set,
and 6630A Series programming
compatibility
