Two potentiometers are also provided to limit the positive and negative voltages to any arbitrary value between zero and full range. Due to the extensive configuration options, the PD200 is suited to a wide range of applications including electro‐optics, ultrasound, vibration control, nanopositioning systems, and piezoelectric motors. There are four output connectors including Lemo 00, Lemo 0B, BNC, and screw terminals that allow the direct connection to almost any commercially available piezoelectric actuator, including those from PI, Piezomechanic, PiezoSystems, etc. Warnings / Notes This device produces hazardous potentials and should be used by suitably qualified personnel under the supervision of an observer with appropriate first‐aid training. Do not operate the device when there are exposed conductors. High-Voltage...

Output Voltage Range The output voltage range can be configured by disconnecting the amplifier from mains power then removing the top panel. The following voltage ranges can be obtained with the correct combination of installed jumpers. Note that incorrect jumper settings may destroy the amplifier. The standard output voltage range is 0V to 200V. However, the amplifier can be supplied with any voltage range by appending the order code with the voltage range code, for example, the standard configuration is PD200‐V200. The voltage range jumper locations are labelled with the LP, LG, and LN prefixes on the PCB.

Figure 1. Maximum pulse time versus current Power Bandwidth With a capacitive load, the peak load current for a sine‐wave is where is the peak‐to‐peak output voltage, is the load capacitance and is the frequency. Given a peak current limit , the maximum frequency is therefore . However, the PX200 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 Therefore, for a sine‐wave / . Since the average current limit of the PD200 is fixed at 0.26 A, the maximum frequency sine‐wave, or power bandwidth of the PX200, is equal to 0.26 . The above result is true for any periodic waveform such as triangular signals. The RMS current for a sine‐wave can also be related to the average current, √ 2 The power bandwidths for a range of load capacitance values are listed below. ...
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 by a multimeter (20 Hz to 100 kHz) which is usually a gross underestimate. The noise is measured with an SR560 low‐noise amplifier (Gain = 1000), oscilloscope, and Agilent 34461A Voltmeter. The low‐frequency noise is plotted in Figure 5. The RMS value is 650 uV with a peak‐to‐peak voltage of 4.3 mV. The noise level is approximately equal to the least significant bit of a 16‐bit digital‐to‐analog converter. t (s) Figure 5. Low frequency noise from 0.03 Hz to 20 Hz. The RMS value is 650 uV, or 4.3 mVp-p. The high frequency noise (20 Hz to 1 MHz) is listed in the table below versus load capacitance. The total noise from 0.03 Hz to 1 MHz is found by summing the RMS values, that is . Load Cap. Bandwidth HF Noise RMS ...
Input and Offset Configuration The input stage is normally non‐inverting; however, it can be configured as inverting by changing LK14 and LK15 to their “B” position. The default jumper position is “A” which is marked with a white bar on PCB overlay. The amplifier can be supplied with an inverting input by appending the order code with –INV. Input Configuration Code Link Positions Non‐inverting (default) LK14 and LK15 Both “A” Inverting ‐INV LK14 and LK15 Both “B” Table 5. Input polarity configuration The input offset source is also configurable. When LK21 is in the “B” position, the offset is derived from the on‐board trim‐pot R15, which is adjustable from zero to full‐scale. The default configuration for LK21 is in the “A” position where the offset voltage is derived from the front‐panel potentiometer. The standard offset voltage range is from zero volts to full‐scale; however, for applications that require negative offset voltages, LK13 can be moved from the “A” to “B” position. In the “B” position, the offset range is from ‐100V to full‐scale. Offset Configuration Code Link Positions 0V to +200V Range (def.)
