Advanced Energy’s UltraVolt AA series of regulated DC-to-DC supplies provide reliable general-purpose high voltage power for many applications in compact form factors.
- Maximum Output Voltage/Power: 6 kV DC/30 W
- Type: Single output
- Ripple: To 100 ppm
- Control Interface: Analog
- Temperature Coefficient: To 25 ppm/⁰C
Overview
-
The UltraVolt AA series includes eight models ranging from 62 to 6,000 VDC of maximum high voltage power. The AA series models are available in single-output positive or negative polarities, deliver up to 30 W from 12 or 24 VDC inputs, and are PCB-mounted. The series features several analog interfaces that allow you to precisely control and monitor high voltage output and current. Mechanical and electrical performance options can be factory-configured to meet application needs.
