GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The A400DI is a general purpose linear amplifier designed for laboratory use. It is based on a fast high-voltage operational amplifier with a feedback network chosen to give a voltage amplification of 20 times. Any function or arbitrary waveform generator with low output impedance and output voltage up to ±10 V can be used as an input device. The instrument contains two identical amplifiers that share a single power supply and a common ground reference. It also includes a low voltage phase inverter that facilitates driving the two high voltage outputs in counter-phase. The amplifier outputs high voltage signals at high frequency. It is, thus, imperative for the safe operation that the user understands the possibilities and limitations of the instrument. Isolated BNC output connector is used to comply with safety requirements.
INPUT AMPLITUDE
The amplitude of the input signal should normally be kept within ±10 V. The input protection network limits the signal amplitude delivered to the power amplifier to a safe value. It also effectively cuts accidental spikes and overshoots. However, large and/or prolonged overvoltage at the input may blow the microfuse in the input protection circuit. (A spare fuse is provided inside the instrument. )
Keep input signals within ±10 V range. Never connect the high voltage output to the input of the instrument!
PHASE INVERTER
The A400DI contains a phase inverter which shares the input with amplifier “1” (see drawing). It is intended to allow a bridge connection of the amplifiers and the load to achieve double amplitude of the output signal. In such a case, the output of the phase inverter should be connected to the input of the second amplifier, an external signal supplied to the input of the first amplifier and the load connected between the outputs of both amplifiers as in the example below:
Observe, that both sides of the connected load are actively driven and must be isolated from the ground. The voltage over the load is in this case U1 - U2 = U1 - (-U1) = 2U1 since U2 = –U1.
It is, of course, possible to supply separate signals to the low voltage inputs of both amplifiers and still use the differential connection of the load, as in the drawing. The amplifiers can also be used as two independent units sharing the common ground reference.
PLEASE NOTE: In the differential configuration - isolate the load from ground and use two separate oscilloscope probes to monitor the voltage over the load.
