1. Slew rate bands are the ranges of programmable slew rates available. When you program a slew rate value outside the indicated bands, the electronic
load will automatically adjust the slew rate to fit within the band that is closest to the programmed value. It is not necessary to specify the band, only the
slew rate itself.
Below 3 volts, the maximum bandwidth of the electronic load is reduced by a factor of ten to one. For example, in the current range for Model N3302A,
the maximum slew rate is specified as 2.5 MA/s, below 3 volts the maximum slew rate would be 250 kA/s. Any slew rate programmed between
2.5 MA/s and 250 kA/s would produce a slew rate of 250 k/s. Slew rates programmed slower than 250 kA/s would still correctly reflect their
programmed value. Note that if you are using transient mode to generate a high frequency pulse train, a reduced slew rate might cause the load to
never reach the upper programmed value before beginning the transition to the lower programmed value. So even though the transient mode is still
operational at lower voltages, a fast pulse train with large transitions may not be achievable.
