Basic Operation
The U3606A has two basic operating modes: constant voltage and constant
current mode. In constant voltage mode, the U3606A regulates the output
voltage at the selected value, while the load current varies as required by
the load. In constant current mode, the U3606A regulates the output
current at the selected value, while the voltage varies as required by the
load.
The U3606A is also capable of generating square waves with selectable
frequency, pulse width, and duty cycle values.
