High Voltage Amplifiers
±500V to 6000Vpp, 15W – 20W, Programmable High Speed High Voltage Amplifiers
The HA51U series is a family of single channel, bipolar, unipolar and unsymmetrical high voltage amplifiers. They feature high speed, high precision and high stability as well as very low ripple and noise. They are designed to drive capacitive and resistive loads. High peak output current facilitates easy driving of capacitive loads.
Each amplifier of the HA51U series is equipped with voltage and current monitor outputs, a TTL-compatible INHIBIT input and further monitoring outputs. The output stage is fed by internal high voltage sources. The amplifier output is protected against overcurrent, short circuit, overvoltage, overtemperature and high voltage flashover. A safety interlock feature is provided to integrate the unit into a safety circuit.
An isolated USB interface is provided to control the amplifier by means of a simple command interface (setting of the output voltage, monitoring of output voltage, current, temperature and further operational parameters, configuring the amplifier). Alternatively, the internal microcontroller can be used to run the user's own application code. This can be simple arbitrary waveform generation or direct control of the output voltage via USB.
More complex applications are possible too. General Purpose I/O lines and a separate analog input are provided to connect additional components to the amplifier that can be controlled.
Programming of the controller is possible e.g. by means of the free Arduino IDE.
The HA51U series amplifiers are available in a robust modular metal case or as 3U cassette versions. The modular units can be used as a table-top device or built into an appliance.
The HAR-51-4M is a 19"/3U subrack for up to 4 high voltage amplifier cassette modules HA51...-3.
It features internal power supplies, cooling fans, a common Interlock input for all channels and an HV OFF button.
Customized and full custom models are available on request.

The HA2B5-S and HA3B3-S are high precision high voltage amplifier 3U / 8HP / 220mm plug-in cards. The amplifier output is available via an SHV connector located on the front panel. Signal gain is 200 (HA2B5-S) or 300 (HA3B3-S), the input voltage range is ±10V. The amplifier features high precision, very high DC stability, high speed as well as very low ripple and noise. The amplifier output is driven by a linear four quadrant high voltage power stage featuring very low distortion. It easily drives capacitive and resistive/capacitive loads.
Two amplifier modules can be configured to provide differential output voltages.
The output voltage is controlled by means of a differential setpoint input . The amplifier is equipped with a voltage and current monitor and a TTL compatible INHIBIT input.
The output is protected against overcurrent, short circuit, overvoltage and high voltage flashover / arc.
A safety interlock circuit is provided to integrate the unit into an emergency shutdown circuit.
High Voltage Amplifier Mainframe 4 Channels
The HAR42-4 is a tabletop subrack 4U / 42HP to accommodate up to 4 high voltage amplifier modules HA2B5-S or HA3B3-S. Both models can be combined in a single subrack. It features internal power supplies 24V, cooling fans, a common interlock input for all channels and a HV off button.
The high voltage amplifier channels can be remotely switched off (not for safety relevant purposes) through the DISABLE input available on the HAR42-4 rear panel.
The amplifier modules incorporate an interlock circuit through which the supply voltage of the high voltage sources is switched. Pins for an external interlock circuit and the HV off palm button are looped into the interlock circuit.
Two amplifier modules can be configured to operate in a differential output mode. In this configuration, only amplifier 1 (Master) receives the input signal from the signal source. Amplifier 2 (Slave) receives the inverted input signal through the backplane of the subrack. This mode can be used e.g. to differentially drive two deflection plates or to drive a floating load with up to 8000VPP.
