New high-stability, low-noise silicon semiconductor devices and advanced solid-state circuit technology are the basis for this unusually stable voltage regulator.
The improved performance of the Model 2005 permits dial readout of the output voltage to five places. Interpolation of the last place is provided by a potentiometer with a resolution of 10 microvolts.
Conventional, more complex chopper techniques for DC amplifier stabilization are avoided by maintaining critical amplifier stages and a specially processed zener diode voltage reference in a temperature-controlled oven.
The design simplicity results in a low-cost unit, half the size and weight of comparable instrumentation.

Design Features of the Model 2005P
Calibrated decade voltage readout to four signi
ficant figures at outputs below 10 volts, to five significant figures above 10 volts. Interpolation of the last place is provided by a potentiometer with 10-microvolts resolution.
Provisions for rear-panel zero calibration (may
be used to offset lead drop during remote sensi ng).
Adjustable current limiting.
Self-restoring electronic overload and short-cir
cuit protection.
All silicon-semiconductor regulator system.
Critical semiconductors and components main
tained at constant ambient in temperature-controlled oven.
Accurate remote programming at 1000 ohms-per.
volt.
Front and rear access to output terminals.
100 hour pre-aging of power supply before test
and calibration. Individual calibration data furnished with each unit.
Line and load circuits separately fused. Acces
sible at rear. Performance specifications based on anticipated ratings after 5 years service.
“Controlled-Parameter” semiconductor program
insures long life expectancy. Features “controlled avalanche” silicon rectifiers and power transistors, pre-aged zener voltage references and transistors, noise-testing techniques for establishing predictable device reliability, derating to 50% of rated voltage and current, etc.
Modular package construction suitable for rack
mounting. Single or dual mounting in 5¼”x 19” panel. See Cat. RPA-62 for rack panel adapters.
