The Keysight (Agilent/HP) E3633A is a high-performance, 200 W single-output programmable DC power supply. Designed for both benchtop and automated system use, it features a dual-range output (8 V, 20 A or 20 V, 10 A) to accommodate a variety of testing needs. The E3633A delivers precise built-in measurements and extremely low output ripple and noise. It comes standard with GPIB and RS-232 interfaces for remote programming and system integration.
