How to Control Current Flowing through or Control Voltage Drop Across a DUT using a DC Electronic Load

2025-05-08

The attached application describes two commonly used control methods that can be used with programmable DC electronic loads.

In the first example we will demonstrate how to control the current through the device under test (DUT). In the second example, we will describe how to configure a DC electronic load to control the voltage drop across the device under test. Both examples are compatible with the loads monitoring and protection features.

These applications are also useful if our power supply is a DC battery.
