7 Output Current
The peak output current is 150 mA per channel in the grounded load configuration or 75 mA per channel in
the floating load configuration. The maximum RMS current is 106 mA in the grounded configuration and 53
mA in the floating load configuration.
The maximum simultaneous output current from all channels is 1.5 A.
8 Power Bandwidth
The nominal slew‐rate of the PD32 in the grounded load configuration is 19 V/us. Therefore, the unloaded
maximum frequency sine‐wave is
That is, the power bandwidth for a 120 Vp‐p sine‐wave is 50 kHz. In the floating load configuration, the
slew‐rate is doubled to 38 V/us, therefore, the power bandwidth for a 240 Vp‐p sine‐wave is 50 kHz
With a capacitive load, the power bandwidth is limited by the output current. The maximum frequency
sine wave is
