and load combinations.
• 0V to 30V power supply with at least 7A source current
capability or a 5V battery
• Electronic loads capable of sinking current up to 7A
• Digital multimeters (DMMs)
• 100MHz quad-trace oscilloscope
• Signal generator
Quick Setup Guide
1. Ensure that the circuit is correctly connected to the supply
and loads prior to applying any power.
2. Connect the bias supply to VIN1, the plus terminal to VIN1,
and the negative return to GND1.
3. Verify that the position is ON for S1.
4. Turn on the power supply.
5. Verify the output voltage is -12V for V
