E36441A DC Supply - More Channels, More Power, More Applications

Advance your basic bench with a Smart Bench Essential (SBE) Plus instrument. Keysight's 400 W four-channel DC power supply is designed for precision and dependable performance. It distributes 400 W across four independent outputs, each capable of 160 W at 32 V / 10 A. Users benefit from precise control with accurate programming and readback, ensuring stable operation with minimal ripple, low noise, and rapid transient response. The device supports both two-wire and four-wire remote sensing for precise voltage delivery. Its intuitive interface includes a seven-inch color display, front and rear terminals, clearly marked channels, and dedicated adjustment knobs. Connectivity is streamlined with LAN and USB ports, while an emulator option simplifies integration with third-party power supply software.

Better Productivity Features

Output tracking:

• Synchronize all outputs to output 1
• Ideal for testing multiple DUTs

The E36441A delivers tracking outputs ranging from 0 to 32 V. When operating in track mode, all four outputs (Output 1 through Output 4) follow the same voltage level, making it easy to adjust symmetrical voltages required by operational amplifiers and other circuits that use balanced positive and negative inputs.

LIST mode:

• Program your outputs by creating a pre-defined sequence/list

Using either sequencing or LIST mode, the E36441A can replicate power faults or standard operating conditions. Each output channel can be individually programmed to turn on or off with a delay. LIST mode enables the creation of intricate output sequences with fast, accurate timing, synchronized with internal or external triggers.

Data logger:

• Continuously capture, store and display measurements with configurable sampling rate

The E36441A makes it simple to log measurement data over a defined time period. It records voltage and current readings from all DC outputs at once, using a user-defined sampling interval, and displays the results on its large color screen while also saving them to a file. You can export the display as PNG or BMP images, or save the time-stamped data as a CSV file for reporting and documentation. Internal memory enables data logging without needing a USB drive.

More Protections

Standard protections:

• Over voltage protection (OVP)
• Over current protection (OCP)
• Over temperature protection (OTP)
• Prevent overshoots

Protection starts by setting a current limit, ensuring the connected device cannot draw more current than allowed. The E36441A supports three current limiting modes: Constant Current, Delayed Over-Current (DOC), and Over-Current Protection (OCP).

Adjustable slew rate:

• Ramp the output voltage with the speed that meets your needs

The voltage slew rate is adjustable, allowing precise control over how quickly the output transitions between voltage levels. All functions can be programmed via the front panel or remotely through a computer for enhanced efficiency.
