Programmable supplies put high voltages onboard

Two new 8kV programmable power supplies weigh only 55g each, allowing them to mount directly to a PC board and eliminating the need for hand wiring a bulky, chassis mounted power supply.

These units are controlled using a 0 to +5V DAC compatible programming voltage and provide 0 to 8000V, positive or negative, depending on model.

The quasi-sinewave oscillator, shielded transformer and plated steel enclosure result in very low EMI/RFI and ripple.

An externally accessible trim pot allows for individual calibration of units.

The new devices are ideal for image intensifiers, small CRTs, FEDs, detectors, electrostatic field generation, ion pumps, electrophoresis, electro-optic devices, igniters, capacitor charging, test equipment, streak cameras and all other applications requiring a miniature source of regulated, programmable high voltage.

Both the C80 and C80N (negative output) are available from stock.
