Trek Model 609E-6 DC-Stable High-Voltage Amplifier

The Trek Model 609E-6 high-voltage DC-stable power amplifier is designed to provide precise control of bi-polar output voltages in the range of 0 to ±4 kV DC or peak AC with an output current capability of ±20 mA DC or peak AC. The Model 609E-6 can be configured as a noninverting amplifier with a fixed gain of 1000 V/V, or as an inverting or differential amplifier.

Applications for the Model 609E-6 include AC and DC biasing of electrophotographic charging rollers, electrorheological fluid research, and dielectric material characterization. Features include an all-solid-state design, a slew rate greater than 150 V/µs, a large signal-bandwidth of greater than 6 kHz, and low noise operation. The four-quadrant active output stage sinks or sources current into reactive or resistive loads throughout the output voltage range. This technique is essential for achieving the accurate output responses and high slew rates demanded by reactive loads.

The Model 609E-6 features a current trip or limit that is adjustable for 0 to 20 mA using the Current Trip/Limit Adjust potentiometer on the front panel. When the Model 609E-6 enters a current trip condition, the high-voltage output is disabled, the Trip Status indicator will illuminate and the Trip Monitor output will provide a TTL low.

The Model 609E-6 is protected against over-voltage and over-current conditions that may be generated by active loads or by output short circuits to ground. Precision voltage and current monitors provide low-voltage output signals for monitoring purposes or for use as a feedback signal in closed-loop control systems. This makes the 609E-6 suited for automated or computer controlled systems.

A Digital Enable feature provides a connection for a remote device to turn the high voltage on and off.

The 609E-6 can also be operated on a bench top or, with optional hardware, in a standard 19-inch rack.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Amplifier Input
Three pin input connector that can be configured for inverting, noninverting, or differential amplification.

Digital Enable
An input providing a connection for a TTL compatible signal to turn on and off the high-voltage output. A TTL high (or open) turns off the high-voltage output. A TTL low turns on the high-voltage output.

Response Adjust
A graduated one-turn potentiometer used to optimize the AC response of the Model 609E-6 under various load parameters.

Trip/Limit
Switch selectable for either Current Trip mode or Current Limit mode. A graduated one-turn potentiometer is used to adjust the current trip/limit value from 0 to 20 mA.

Out Of Regulation Indicator
An indicator will illuminate when the Model 609E-6 fails to produce the required high-voltage output such as during a current limit.

Trip Status
An indicator will illuminate and the Trip Monitor BNC connector will provide a TTL low when the high-voltage output is disabled due to the output current exceeding the current trip level.

 

 

 

Voltage Monitor
A buffered output providing a low-voltage replica of the high voltage output.
