Extending the Output Power

The U2722A/U2723A is equipped with three dedicated channels of up to 20 V and
120 mA per channel.

Series connections

To increase the output voltage, tie two or more of the outputs in series as shown
in
output. Series connected outputs can be operated with one load across the
connected outputs or with a separate load for each output.
When a series connection is used, the output voltage is the sum of the voltages of
the individual output. The current is the current of any one output. Each of the
individual outputs must be adjusted to obtain the total output voltage.
