Product description

This driver has a repetition rate from 0–200 kHz with 1 MHz burst mode capability, an output voltage of 0–2.5 kV, rise and fall times of 4–7 ns with pulse widths of 250 ns–3 μs.

Heat load and space requirements are kept at a minimum due to the use of external power supplies. The trigger input is also electrically isolated from the
power supplies for safety. The compact 115x90x30 mm (4.5x3.5x1.2") circuit
board is supplied on an aluminum plate for convection cooling, which can also be attached to a cold plate for water cooling.

It can also be supplied as a turnkey integrated 19” rack system for benchtop use.

Key features

  • 4-7 ns rise and fall time
  • 0-2.5 kV output voltage
  • 0-200 kHz repetition rate
  • 250 ns–3 μs pulse widths
  • Bipolar balanced output
