3.2.2 Setting Current Limits
3-8
3. Setting ranges of current limits(for optimal range)
The following table shows the setting ranges of current limits.
Current of +0.1 A or higher can be set but cannot be output without a booster.
The maximum output value is displayed on the limit setting screen as shown blow.
NOTE:
The polarities of current limits and current measurement are represented as “+” for source and as “-”
for sink.”
The above ranges are applied to the current limit setting ranges and the current measurement ranges;
however the output range is limited to +0.1 A and -10.2 A.
4. Relation between current limit setting and settling time
The current limit setting have an influence on the settling time.
The larger both the positive and negative current limit setting values are, the shorter the settling time
is.
Thus, setting the current limites using the optimal range is recommnedned.
For more information on the settling time, refer to Section 5.2.6, "Settling Time."
5. Setting ranges of current limits (for fixed range)
NOTE:
The polarities of current limits and current measurement are represented as “+” for source and as
“-” for sink.”
The above ranges are applied to the current limit setting ranges and the current measurement
ranges; however the output range is limited to +0.1 A and -10.2 A.
