VOLTAGE MODE
With the power supply in voltage mode (see Figure 3-17) and the digitally programmed output
voltage at zero, varying the external current source from 0 to 1mA causes the output voltage of
the power supply to vary linearly from 0 to E
O
max with a slope of (E
O
max) volts per mA. The fol-
lowing equations give the output voltage as determined by the external current source I

= External current source (mA). This source can be either a d-c source or a function gen-
erator with an internal bias delivering a constant current. If the bias is not available from
the function generator, use the digital programming feature of the BHK-MG to provide
proper bias to avoid clipping waveform at the output of the power supply.
