Constant Current (CC) Mode Application
The Constant Current mode is highly suitable for testing the Load Regulation, Cross Regulation,
Output Voltage and Dynamic Regulation of the power supply, and for testing the discharge
characteristic and the life cycle of the Battery.
4.3.1 Static Mode:
Major application (see Figure 4-3):
• Voltage source testing.
• Power supply load regulation testing
• Battery discharge testing
