Agilent/Keysight 6023A Autoranging DC Power Supply

The Agilent/Keysight 6023A is a 200 W autoranging DC power supply engineered for R&D, production testing, and laboratory applications. It delivers full rated power across a continuous range of voltage and current combinations without manual range switching, eliminating the need for predefined output configurations. The unit combines front-panel control with remote programming capability, making it suitable for both hands-on bench work and integrated test systems.

Technical Specifications

Output voltage ranges from 0 to 20 V with current capability to 30 A, providing 200 W maximum power. The autoranging topology ensures full 200 W availability across any valid voltage-current pair within these limits. Three-and-a-half-digit displays continuously indicate output voltage and current in real time.

Key Features

• Autoranging output maintains full 200 W power across the entire voltage and current operating envelope


• Constant voltage/constant current (CV/CC) protection with automatic crossover and overvoltage/overcurrent defense


• Ten-turn potentiometers enable fine adjustment of voltage and current setpoints


• Remote programming and sensing for external control and load-lead voltage drop compensation


• Auto-series and auto-parallel operation support multiple-unit configurations for extended voltage or current capability


• Four-state LED indicators show operating mode: CV, CC, unregulated, or overvoltage protection active


• Overvoltage protection (OVP) interrupts power transfer when output exceeds a preset threshold, safeguarding connected loads

Performance Load regulation for voltage is specified at 0.5 mV. Constant voltage ripple and noise measures 500 µV RMS. The instrument accepts both direct front-panel adjustment and remote control signals for flexible system integration.

Compatibility & Integration Remote sensing terminals allow compensation for voltage drops across load leads, improving regulation accuracy in distributed power architectures. Auto-series and auto-parallel modes enable stacking of multiple 6023A units to achieve higher output voltages or currents while maintaining unified control.
