New high-stability, low-noise silicon semiconductor
devices and advanced solid-state circuit technology
are the basis for this unusually stable voltage reg-
ulator.
The improved performance of the Model 2005 per-
mits dial readout of the output voltage to five places.
Interpolation of the last place is provided by a poten-
tiometer 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-con-
trolled 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 sens-
i 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-con-
trolled 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 fur-
nished 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 transis-
tors, pre-aged zener voltage references and tran-
sistors, 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.
