2 Operation and Features54 Keysight U2722A/U2723A User’s GuideParallel connectionsA parallel connection is used to increase the output current. Connect two or moreof the outputs in parallel as in Figure 2-14. For a parallel connection, the outputcurrent is the sum of the currents of the individual output. The voltage is from anyof the outputs. Each of the individual outputs must be adjusted to obtain the totaloutput current.Figure 2-14 U2722A/U2723A outputs connected in parallelPositive (+) terminal of the device-under-test Negative (–) terminal of the device-under-testOutput 2 Output 3SENSE OUTPUT GUARD OUTPUT SENSE SENSE OUTPUT GUARD OUTPUT SENSE SENSE OUTPUT GUARD OUTPUT SENSE+Output 1+ + + + +- - - - - -NOTE – Ensure that the voltage (when source current) or the current (when sourcevoltage) is not clamped.– Preferably, both are at the same voltage range.
