1-5 mode. In this mode the voltage of the negative output can be set lower than that of the positive output. T he tracking ratio control allows the negative supply 's output to be set to any va lue between a max imum that is within ±5% of the positive supply 's output and a minimum that is less than 0.5 volts. Once a ratio is estab lishe[...]

A-2 put is enclosed by a heavy line in Figure 3 of the operating section. If the operating point reaches the diagonal current limit line, a dec rease in load r esistance moves the op erating point down the line, reducing the out put voltage and current . Current foldback is controlled by a secon d operational ampli- fier (current comparison amplifi[...]

A-4 Output Current Measurement. For accurate output current measurements, a current sampling resistor should be inserted between the load and the output of the supply . T o simplify grounding problems, one end of this sampli ng resistor shoul d be connected to the same output terminal of the supply which w ill be shorted to ground. An accurate vol [...]
