Description GENERAL DESCRIPTION The F10A is a general purpose linear amplifier designed for laboratory use. It is based on a fast high-voltage operational amplifier with a feedback network chosen to give a voltage amplification of 10 times. Any function or arbitrary waveform generator with output voltage up to ±10 V can be used as an input device. This device outputs high voltage signals at high frequency. It is, thus, imperative for the safe operation that the user understands the possibilities and limitations of the instrument. Isolated BNC output connector is used to comply with safety requirements. INPUT AMPLITUDE The amplitude of the input signal should normally be kept within ±10 V. The input protection network limits the signal amplitude delivered to the power amplifier to a safe value. It also effectively cuts accidental spikes and overshoots. However, large and/or prolonged overvoltage at the input may blow the microfuse in the input protection circuit. (A spare fuse is provided inside the instrument. If possible, contactservice@pendulum-instruments.com for advice before opening the instrument case.) Benefits Ultra-linear Amplifiers from 70Vp-p up to 800Vp-p High output power, up to 2A output current High Bandwidth, up to 5 MHz High Slew rate, up to 500V/μs Low output impedance, down to 0.1 Ohm Wide range of models to suit any performance and/or budget demand
