Compact power amp boosts generator currents

A compact yet robust power amplifier suits applications requiring moderate voltage amplification and high current beyond the ranges of arbitrary, function, sweep or pulse generators.

New from Tegam, the Model 2348 is a compact yet robust power amplifier designed for applications requiring moderate voltage amplification and high current beyond the ranges of arbitrary, function, sweep or pulse generators.

A continuous current of 750mA is available at voltages up to 50V peak-peak.

This provides 18.75W of AC or DC output power to 500kHz.

The instrument's bandwidth ranges from DC to 2.0MHz.

An independent, buffered, voltage monitor output is provided for applications that require a low-level representation of the output signal such as in closed loop applications.

The monitor output reduces the output signal to 20:1 for 50ohm inputs and 10:1 for inputs exceeding 1Mohm.

All of this performance is packed into a compact, rack-mountable chassis no larger than a typical function generator.

The 2348's current capabilities make it ideal as a buffer for signal generation devices used in solenoid or magnetic excitation.

This unique amplifier meets requirements for MEMS testing, transducer characterisation and pulse applications.

Its high voltage stability and low noise characteristics also meet the demands of mass spectrometry and related scientific applications.

US pricing for the 2348 starts at $2995.

"The 2348 is part of a growing line of specialised, high performance Tegam amplifiers", comments Stephen Kosik, Applications Engineer at Tegam.

"It's just another example of our continuing effort to provide unrivaled solutions in response to our customers' needs".
