The most common solution to this problem is to enable the supply to measure the output voltage at the load instead of at the output terminals. This methodology is called “remote sense”. How does remote sense work?An error in the DUT voltage measurement is due to the output current and the resistance of the leads used to connect the power supply or SMU to the load. This error can be calculated using the following equation: Local Sense Error (Volts) = Iout (Rlead1 + Rlead2) When the device is operating in. Remote feedback to differential amplifier compensates for Senior Applications Engineer parasitic-resistance voltage drop processors. As systems push tighter tolerances and higher currents, these drops become harder to ignore. Remote sense provides a straightforward way to correct them by letting. This simple, un-avoidable truth dictates that a power source's remote load voltage will be less than the source's output voltage. By default, the load operates in local sense, where feedback is internally connected to the load's input.
