TREK Product - Model 677B Power Amplifier/Supply

TREK Model 677B Power Amplifier/Supply

The Trek Model 677B is a high-voltage power amplifier/supply unit for precise control of output voltages in the range of 0 to ±2 kV DC or peak AC with an output current range of 0 to ±5 mA DC or peak AC. The Model 677B can be operated in one of two modes: as a high-voltage amplifier where it is configured as a noninverting amplifier with a fixed gain of 200 V/V, or as a high-voltage power supply which responds to front panel controls to command an exact output voltage or current. A differential input is available on the Model 677B-1.

The Model 677B features an all-solid-state design for high slew rate, wide bandwidth, 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 is essential for achieving the accurate output response and high slew rates demanded by reactive loads.

The Model 677B 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 representations of the high-voltage output and load current for monitoring purposes, or for use as feedback signals in a closed-loop system.

The Digital Enable feature provides a connection for a remote device to turn on and off the high-voltage output. This makes the Model 677B suitable for automated or computer-controlled systems.

The Model 677B can be operated on a bench top or, with optional hardware, in a standard 19-inch rack.
