19. ommon problem with PXI equipment is the inability to produce high voltages which results from low power supply rails For example waveform generators and similar signal source devices draw power from 12V rails Consequently they cannot produce signals above 16Vp p Model 5601 solves this problem by using DC DC converters to increase rail voltage to 24V In turn the increase of rail voltage plus custom components and unique design permits amplification of input signals to 40Vp p into high impedance loads or 20Vp p into 509 The power amplifier draws current only from the 5V rail leaving the other power supply rails free to supply their full rated current to other devices Model 5601 is available with floating input and output connectors With this option the amplifier can float from ground level up to 250VDC The only limiting factor is that both the input and output grounds must connect to the same level This capability is important in applications where the amplifying device must reside at the same ground level as its source The floating capability can be added or removed using a user accessible jumper connection The wideband amplifier occupies just one PXI slot However its performance is unique and outstanding by any standards With 40Vp p and over 20MHz bandwidth one can use Model 5601 in a wide range of applications Racal Instruments 2003 Artisan Technology Group Quality Instrumentation Guaranteed 888 88
