Application Notes for RF Modules

PRF-1150 1KW Class E 13.56MHz Single Device RF Generator Evaluation Module (PDF, 20 Pages, 569KB) The PRF-1150 module is a self-contained 1KW 13.56MHz RF source. The module facilitates operation and evaluation of the DEIC420 RF MOSFET gate driver IC and DE275X2-102N06A RF MOSFET in a practical 13.56 MHz RF generator application. It is all-inclusive, pre-tested, and ready to operate.

Application Notes for Pulse Generators

Driving Capacitive Loads With The HV1000 Pulser Overview of the ST-1 Series, ST-2 Shunt and BT-1 Bias termination options for the HV1000. These terminators facilitate driving capacitive loads such as grids and deflection plates with the HV1000 pulse generator.

“Operating The GRX, PVX and PVM Pulse Generators With Common Polarity Pulse And Bias DC Power Supplies” Tech Note (PDF, 2 Pages, 43KB) DC power supplies of the same polarity (i.e. both positive or both negative polarity) may be used for the Pulse and Bias DC supply inputs of the GRX, PVX-41XX and PVM-41XX pulse generators. However most high voltage DC power supplies cannot regulate voltages of the same polarity from a separate source. To operate with power supplies of common polarity, the bias, or lower voltage (-HV or VLOW) supply must be provided with an additional current flow path to ground. If this path is not provided, the output voltage may not remain at the -HV In potential when the pulse generator is not gated, but can be charged up to the potential of the VHIGH (+HV In) supply. This technical note describes how to install a current path to ground to mitigate this problem.

PVX And PVM Series Pulse Generators Overview Overview of the PVX and PVM Series high voltage pulse generators, designed for time-of-flight mass spectroscopy, beam steering, gating, driving grids and other capacitive (high impedance) loads.
