Constant Voltage Mode Operation If the output is enabled and the configured current set point is much higher than the requirements for the attached load then the voltage will rise until it reaches the voltage set point When the output voltage reaches the voltage set point it stops rising The unit will continue to operate in CV mode The load current will still vary to meet any changes in required load current draw resulting from a change in the attached load Constant Current Mode Operation If the output is enabled the voltage and current start to rise At this time the unit is operating in CV mode default operational mode As the load current drawn reaches the value of the output current setting the unit will switch to CC mode and not allow any additional current to be drawn above the value of Isgr The unit is now operating in CC mode The voltage will still vary to meet any changes in required output voltage resulting from a change in the attached load Automatic Mode Crossover 975 0200 01 01 Mode crossover occurs when the unit makes the switch between operating modes Crossover can occur from CV to CC or vice versa depending on how the attached load resistance changes Figure 3 3 shows the relationships between the variables For example if the unit was initially operating in CV mode with the output voltage at the voltage set point and the load current below the Isgr and the attached load resistance began to decrease the cur
