Introduction The TD250 is an ultra-low noise, six-channel voltage amplifier with a bipolar 250V output range. The six channels can be driven independently, or configured as three channels with non-inverting and inverting outputs, which are ideal for driving piezoelectric tube scanners. The three-channel configuration can also be used to obtain +/-500V with a bridged load.

Channel Configuration The standard configuration of the TD250 is six independent non-inverting channels, as shown below. However, the outputs can also be configured as non-inverting and inverting pairs for driving piezoelectric tubes and bridged loads, the order code for this configuration is TD250-INV.
Driving Piezoelectric Tube Scanners The voltage range, noise, and bandwidth of the TD250 have been optimized for driving piezoelectric tube scanners, for example the TB6009. Although many configurations are possible, the driven internal electrode configuration shown below is simple and provides the maximum X, Y and Z travel range.

Bridged Load Configuration To obtain an output voltage range of +/-500V, the TD250-INV can used with a bridged load, as illustrated below. Out1 Piezo 1 Out2 Out3 Piezo 2 Out4 Out5 Piezo 3 Out6 Figure 2. Bridged configuration using TD250-INV In the bridged configuration, the power bandwidth can be assessed by using the full peak-to-peak load voltage in the calculator, or by doubling the effective capacitance.
, the maximum frequency is therefore = / . However, the TD250 is protected by both peak and average current limits. The average current is defined as + the average positive or negative current. For example, for a sine-wave ...

In the above table, the frequencies limited by slew-rate are marked in green while the frequencies limited by signal bandwidth are marked in blue. The slew-rate is approximately 30 V/uS which implies a maximum frequency of 30 × 10 ...
Noise The output noise contains a low frequency component (0.03 Hz to 20 Hz) that is independent of the load capacitance; and a high frequency component (20 Hz to 1 MHz) that is inversely related to the load capacitance. Many manufacturers quote only the AC noise measured in the 20 Hz to 100 kHz range, which is usually a gross underestimate.
