  • Page 3: Introduction

    1 Introduction The PX200 is a low-noise voltage amplifier designed to drive capacitive and other loads from DC to hundreds of kHz. The output voltage range can be unipolar, bipolar, or asymmetric with a peak-to-peak value of between 50V and 200V. Two amplifiers can be connected in bridge-mode to provide ±200V or +400V.

  • Page 5: Output Voltage Range

    Table 1. Voltage range configurations 5 Output Current The PX200 has a peak and average current limits as described in Table 1. The RMS current limit defines the maximum frequency that is achievable with a capacitive load. This topic is discussed in “Power Bandwidth”.
  • Page 6: Pulse Current Option

    For applications that require a high peak current, the peak current limit can be increased to 8 Amps by appending the order code with “-PULSE”, e.g. “PX200-V0,200-PULSE”. In this configuration, the average current limit remains the same; however, the peak current limit is increased to 8 Amps and the maximum pulse duration is reduced to the time listed in Table 2.
  • Page 7: Power Bandwidth

    In the above table, the frequencies limited by slew-rate are shaded grey. The slew-rate is approximately 35 V/uS which implies a maximum frequency of 35 × 10 ������ �� ���� �� �� In the following figures, the maximum peak-to-peak voltage is plotted against frequency and capacitance.

  • Page 18: Enclosure

    15 Enclosure The PX200 has a side air intake and rear exhaust, which can not be obstructed. If sufficient airflow is not available, the amplifier will enter a thermal overload state as discussed in “Overload and Shutdown”. The PX200 can be installed in a 19-inch x 2U rack space using the PX200-Rack1 kit. Two amplifiers can also be installed in a side-by-side configuration using the PX200-Rack2 kit.
