HIGH VOLTAGE AMPLIFIER
High voltage amplifier converts input voltage to high voltage waveform as it is as shown in fig. These days the demand of high voltage amplifier is growing more and more, and now becoming an indispensable tool for research and development, experiments and integrating to a system for such fields as electronics, physics, biochemical and medical industries. With high voltage technologies Matsusada Precision Inc. manufactures various high voltage amplifiers to meet all requirements from customers.
FOUR-QUADRANT OUTPUT RANGE
High voltage amplifier is generally equipped with the "sink" function for output currents that provides constant voltage operation without regard to the type of load whether it is capacitive or conductive. (Fig. 2) As it gives fast response, it is an ideal power supply for applications which require AC output. Matsusada high voltage amplifiers are all bi-polar type and can be operated in full four-quadrant area. (I, · II, · III, · IV, and area)

SLEW RATE
The responsivity of AS serires is determined with slew rate (SR). The step responsivity of our amplifier is as shown in fig. SR = DV/μS In case of output amplitude is smaller the response time become shorter.
For details, download the datasheet below.
CAPACITIVE LOAD
When a capacitive load is more than 100 pF (including a stray capacitance of output wire), the resonance in the output may occur. In that case, install 100-ohm (@0.1 μF) to 1000-ohm (@1000 pF) of high voltage resistance in the output in series. Please note that the frequency band will be limited as the formula written in the right figure when an amplifier is used with a capacitive load.
In addition, when an amplifier is used for the use such as a corona discharge, the current which is higher than rating will flow and it will affect the amplifier badly. In this case, as well as the time to use an amplifier with a capacitive load, please install the output resistance and limit the current.
* Please avoid continuous inputting of high frequency signal which reduces output frequency of an amplifier. An amplifier will be broken because of increase of internal loss.
