The PVX-4150 pulse generator produces fast, high voltage wave forms to 1,500V. Optimized for high impedance capacitive loads, the PVX-4150 is well suited for driving extraction grids and deflection plates for electrostatic modulation of particle beams in time-of-flight mass spectrometers and accelerators. Its robust and versatile design also makes it well suited for pulsing or gating power tube grids, Pockels cells and Q Switches, acoustic transducers, microchannel plates, photomultiplier tubes and image intensifiers. The exceptional pulse fidelity of the PVX-4150 will optimize the performance of any system in which it is used. The PVX-4150 generates an output voltage pulse of 1,500 volts with rise and fall times less than 25ns, with very flat voltage pulses to DC into a capacitive load. It can generate singled-ended output pulses from ground to +1500V or from ground to 1500V, and can also generate pulses originating from a DC voltage offset from ground by using both VLow and VHigh power supply inputs. This offset can be from 1500V to +1500V, with a maximum power supply voltage differential of 1500V. The PVX-4150 requires a TTL gate signal, a high voltage DC power supply and optional DC offset supply inputs. The output pulse width and frequency are controlled by the gate signal. The pulse output voltage is controlled by the amplitude of the input DC power supplies.
