2 Installing the Instrument
RP797xAand RP798xA
In CC operation, large inductive leads have the potential to create ringing in the output current when
undergoing current programming steps or load voltage changes. This effect increases as inductance
increases and lead resistance decreases. The
minimum amount of lead resistance to mitigate programming overshoot and unstable programming
response. Note that if there is no bypass capacitor at the DUT, the lead and DUT resistance are
indistinguishable in this context so that any resistance in the DUT is added to the effective lead
resistance as specified in the graphs.
Dynamic Current Programming with Large Inductive Loads
Additional constraints may be required when programming current steps with high inductance DUTs
or leads. When programming large current steps, further speed degradation and overshoots may
occur due to inherent voltage limitations of the power supply. Without lowering the inductance, the
speed degradation cannot be improved. However, the overshoot aspect can be mitigated or removed
by gradually decreasing the
Excessive Current in Current Priority Mode
Excessive output current may damage the device under test under certain conditions.
This can occur, for example, if the DUT shorts the output of the instrument when the
lower voltage limit is set substantially above zero.
When operating in current priority mode, if the voltage of a low-impedance DUT, such as a battery or
short circuit, rises above the upper voltage limit setting or falls below the lower voltage limit setting,
current flow exceeding the unit's steady state rating can occur, potentially damaging the DUT. After a
short delay, the excessive current flow will cause over-current protection to engage - thereby disabling
the output of the unit.
