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.

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”.
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.
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.

The amplifier can be shut down by an external source by applying a voltage of between +2V and +24V to the Shutdown input (relative to Input-). The impedance of the shutdown input is approximately 5 kΩ. PX200 V2 Manual Rev 1.1, Released, 15-01-2018...
The LEMO 0B connector is recommended for applications requiring more than 1 Amp RMS output current. Preassembled LEMO cable assemblies are available from www.PiezoDrive.com A LEMO 00 to Female BNC adaptor cable (PD-00-FBNC-30) is supplied with the amplifier.

Bender actuators can be driven with a single bias voltage, for example 200 V, or a bipolar bias voltage, for example ±100 V. The ±100 V bipolar configuration is shown below. +100V -100V to +100V -100V PX200 V2 Manual Rev 1.1, Released, 15-01-2018...
2. If the cable is shielded, fold the shield back over the cable 3. Slide the strain relief, collet nut (1) and collet (3) onto the cable. 4. Solder or crimp the conductors onto the contacts. 5. Assemble the plug, as shown below. PX200 V2 Manual Rev 1.1, Released, 15-01-2018...
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.
