T840 2-channel high voltage driver

High Voltage Driver
  • Two independently controlled channels
  • Generates 0 to +1200 volt fast pulses into PLZT elements, piezos, e/o modulators, or vacuum electronic devices
  • Each channel is separately triggered and programmable for pulse voltage and DC bias
  • TTL trigger
  • OEM circuit board uses external 24 volt power; packaged versions optional
  • 3.9” x 6.5” PCB for embedded application
