- Piezo driver
- Evaluations of Photovoltaics (PV) panel, rechargeable battery or flat panel display
- Various electrostatic testing
Ultra high slew rate 1200 V/µs
±10 kV and ±20 kV output models achieved the existing double high-speed response of slew rate 1200 V/µs. Laser modulation and beam deflection at unprecedented high speed are possible.

High-speed response of frequency bandwidth 100 kHz
Frequency bandwidth with actual load is as high as 100 kHz, and solve the problem of "When actual operation with load, the response become slow." Ideal for high speed printer or material evaluation testing.
Model: AMPS-0.6B2000 (at rated load)

For measuring voltage and current
When the voltage at load is lower than the rated maximum output of AMPS series, constant voltage and high speed operation is possible by sinking the output current with current sink feature.
As example of the development of ceramic and electrophotography process, by current sink, it is possible to absorb the voltage of a capacitive load quickly or to per form diselectrification smoothly.
Peak current (1 ms) output is twice the rated DC current (see right figure, AMPS-10B40 and AMPS-20B20 are three times the rated current), the rise characteristics with capacitive loads can improve.

Current Limit *
The output is not cut off but it is limited in the event of lowering output voltage at overcurrent level.
- -LCc
-
Variable current limit *
The output is not cut off but it is limited in the event of lowering output voltage at overcurrent level. Using the potentiometer on the front panel, the limit current value can be adjusted in the range of 10% to 105% of the rating.
- -LCx
-
Variation of current cutoff + Variable current limit *
Both of -LOc (Variation of current cutoff) and -LCc (Variable Current limit) are switchable.NOTE: As for models with -LCx option, the CE marking Low Voltage directive is not applicable.
