Page 9: Introduction
5601 User’s Manual Model 5601 is a 3U single-slot, PXI-based power amplifier. The Introduction amplifier is used for signal amplification purposes. Offering unprecedented signal purity, Model 5601 amplifies signals from DC to over 20 MHz. The unit has a fixed gain of 10. However, one may order the same amplifier with custom gain without jeopardizing signal purity or amplifier performance. -

Page 11: Functional Description
5601 User’s Manual Functional This section provides a detailed functional description of the features, operation, and options for Model 5601. The wideband Description amplifier may be ordered with different configurations such as input/output impedance gain. Read following description carefully and make sure your amplifier is configured correctly for your application before you install and use this card. -

2. 30-minute minimum warm up. 3. Temperature range of 20°C to 30°C. Specifications outside this range are degraded by 0.1% per °C. Front Panel Model 5601 has two BNC connectors on its front panel, designated as Input and Output. Connectors Input The Input connector accepts signals within the range of DC to over 20MHz and amplifies them by a fixed gain. - Page 13 5601 User’s Manual Knowing the source impedance is very important because the output gain is calibrated for a matched impedance. A mismatched load impedance may affect output level accuracy. For example, for a configured gain of 10, and properly terminated signals at the input and output connectors (say 50W each), an input of 2Vp-p will generate an output of 20Vp-p.

Page 14: Grounding Considerations
Input and output grounds are tied together. Do not connect the output ground to a level different from input ground. Failure to adhere to this limitation may damage the 5601 and the surrounding equipment connected to its I/O connectors. NOTE... -
Page 15: Operating Instructions
5601 User’s Manual Operating Being an analog device, Model 5601 has no controls or Instructions computer-programmed settings. The following procedure is recommended for proper operation of the power amplifier: 1. Make sure your card is configured for the desired input and output impedance, gain, and grounding. -
Page 16: Installation
The following sections contain information and cautions that must be observed to keep the 5601 operating correctly and safely. CAUTION For maximum safety, do not touch the product, test cables, or any other instrument parts while power is applied to the circuit under test. -
Page 17: Operating Environment
5601 User’s Manual Model 5601 is intended for operation within a PXI chassis as a Operating plug-in module. Ensure that the PXI chassis being used to Environment host the 5601 fully conforms to the latest PXI specifications. Model 5601 is intended for indoor use and should be operated in a clean, dry environment with an ambient temperature within the range of 0 °C to 40 °C. -
Page 18: Grounding Requirements
Floating the The 5601 ground circuit is designed so it can float from case ground. The only limitation is that the input and output Input/Output grounds must reside at the same ground potential. -
Page 19: Calibration
5601 User’s Manual 1. Locate LK2 near the bottom of the board, as shown in Figure 2-1. 2. Remove the shorting jumper if you want to float the input/output grounds from case ground. 3. Leave jumper LK2 in place if you want to connect input/output ground to case ground. -
Page 20: Abnormal Conditions
35601 User’s Manual Operate the 5601 only as intended by the manufacturer. If Abnormal you suspect that the 5601 has been damaged, remove it from Conditions the PXI Chassis and secure it from unintended operation. Model 5601 protection is probably impaired if, for example, the instrument fails to perform the intended operation or shows visible damage. -
Page 21: Preparation For Use
Slide the 5601 into an empty slot of your PXI chassis. Push it firmly into place as you lift its extractor handle to the horizontal position. The metal panel should make contact with the metal edge of the PXI chassis. -
