Overview
About SPD-3606 Multiple Output Dual Range DC Power Supply
The GW Instek SPD-3606 is a multiple output dual range DC power supply that uses switching topology to achieve up to 25% higher power conversion efficiency compared to traditional linear supplies. It provides three independent isolated outputs: CH1 and CH2 each offer dual range operation of 30V/6A or 60V/3A, automatically optimizing the output stage for the selected voltage and current combination. CH3 supplies an adjustable 0.1V to 5V at 3A for logic-level and microcontroller power rails.

| Current Range | 0-6A / 0-3A | 0-3A |
| Dual Range | Yes (30V/6A or 60V/3A) | No |
| Isolation | Independent | Independent |
| Protection | OVP, OTP | OVP, OTP |
Applications
The SPD-3606’s dual range capability on CH1 and CH2 provides exceptional flexibility, a single channel covers both low-voltage/high-current and high-voltage/low-current test scenarios, reducing the number of instruments needed on the bench. The higher efficiency switching design generates less heat than linear supplies, enabling reliable operation in compact test setups and production environments where thermal management is a concern.
Remote control output on/off allows external triggering of power delivery, making the SPD-3606 suitable for integration into automated test fixtures and production jigs. Optional voltage/current protection knobs provide a physical safety mechanism against accidental overvoltage or overcurrent conditions. The three independent isolated channels eliminate ground loop issues when powering separate circuit domains simultaneously.
GSAS Micro Systems is an authorized partner in India, offering the SPD-3606 with local application support, INR invoicing, and GST-compliant billing.

Emulating Processor Power for Thermal Testing: Why Constant Power
A heat sink or a cold plate is qualified against a watt figure, not a volt figure. This application note explains why a thermal load is driven in constant-power mode, how the bench is built for air and for liquid cooling, and what to confirm before you buy.
CRPS and Rack Power Supply Testing: The Six Tests That Matter
A CRPS module has to hold up under an unbalanced grid, a 0 to 100 percent load step, a surge on the line and a redundancy handover. This application note sets out the six tests, and the one source capability that makes a long feeder reproducible on the bench.
GPU Power Board Testing: DC Input Verification Before Integration
A GPU power delivery board is cheap to reject on a bench and expensive to find in an assembled server. This application note covers the programmable DC input test that screens the board, and the same test applied to incoming server systems.
