KEYSIGHT B2961A (AGILENT)
The Keysight B2961A 6.5 Digit Low Noise Power Source is an advanced power supply unit, expertly designed for researchers, engineers, and developers dealing with precision measurements in electronic designs. This powerful instrument offers unparalleled precision and a broad bipolar output range, making it a top choice for a variety of applications.
Boasting a remarkable voltage range of up to ±210 V and current capabilities of ±3 A DC and ±10.5 A pulsed, the B2961A stands out with its exceptional 6.5 digit resolution, allowing for precise control from 100 nV to 210 V and current levels from 10 fA to 3 A DC / 10.5 A pulsed. It combines this expansive capability with 4-quadrant operation, allowing users to provide any voltage or current within its defined ranges, facilitating a versatile testing environment.
Built for ultra-low noise performance, the B2961A is particularly well-suited for noise-sensitive applications such as voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), ADC/DAC evaluations, and new material assessments. Users can achieve noise levels down to 10 μVrms and 1 nVrms/√Hz at 10 kHz with the optional external filter, ensuring unparalleled performance compared to conventional power supplies.
The intuitive 4.3-inch wide LCD display enhances usability by providing a graphical user interface (GUI) for easy operation and measurement result visualization. With built-in 4.5 digit voltage and current monitoring, users can quickly assess results in either numerical or graphical formats (V-t / I-t), streamlining the debugging and verification processes.
Expanding beyond standard DC output, the Keysight B2961A offers the ability to generate arbitrary, pulsed, and swept waveforms across its extensive output range. This includes support for common waveform types such as sine, ramp, and square, along with the flexibility for user-defined waveforms, enabling its application in complex experimental setups.
One of the standout features of the B2961A is its programmable output resistance capability, which lets users specify desired output characteristics. This functionality is particularly useful for emulating various devices like batteries, photovoltaic cells, sensors, and transducers, crucial for simulating real-world scenarios effectively.
