The PVX-2110 high power pulse generator (pulsed volt-
age source) is designed for pulsing low impedance loads
(from 1鈩?to 25鈩? at up to 200V and 50A, with pulse widths
from 200ns to 2ms
.
The exceptional pulse fidelity of the
PVX-2110 will optimize the performance of any system in
which it is used.
The PVX-2110 can deliver up to 10kW of peak output
power and 5kW of average output power, making it well
suited for use in materials testing and processing, semi-
conductor testing and characterization, and other test and
measurement and R&D applications.
The PVX-2110 requires a TTL gate signal and high volt-
age DC power supply inputs. The output pulse width and
frequency are controlled by the gate signal. The pulse out-
put voltage is controlled by the amplitude of the input DC
power supply.
The PVX-2110 features front panel indicator LEDs to
monitor the status of the pulse generator. Front panel volt-
age and current monitors provide a straightforward means
to view the output voltage and current waveforms in real-
time, eliminating the need for an external high voltage os-
cilloscope probe.
The output cable supplied with the unit is an innovative
custom designed multi-coaxial cable with an impedance of
5鈩? The design of this cable maintains the fidelity of the
output pulse without introducing pulse distortion or ringing,
and provides a convenient means of connecting the pulse
generator to the load.
The PVX-2110 has over-current detection and shut-down
circuitry to protect the pulse generator from potential dam-
age due to over-current conditions such as arcs and shorts
in the load or interconnect cable. If an over-current condi-
tion is detected, the output pulse is truncated for 10 milli-
seconds. The pulse generator then automatically re-
enables the output, and will continue pulsing, unless the
over-current condition persists. It is also protected against
operation at excessive pulse widths or frequencies.
The pulse generator is a direct-coupled, air-cooled solid-
state design, offering fast pulse rise and fall times, low
power dissipation, and virtually no over-shoot, under-shoot
or ringing. All control and protection logic circuitry, support
power, energy storage and output network are incorporated
into the PVX-2110. It is connected directly to the load, and
does not require series or shunt resistors, impedance-
matching networks between the pulse generator and the
load, or additional energy storage (capacitor banks). All of
this is taken care of within the PVX-2110.
