SDS Launches New Line of Miniature High-Voltage Power Supplies
Systems Development & Solutions (SDS), headquartered in Paris, France, announced the arrival of three new series of high-voltage power supply units. The newly added DA and DE Series delivers up to 6W of power from 1 to 6kV with input voltages between 15 and 24V, and the APD Series provides up to 100mW of power from 200 to 500V with an input voltage 5V.
The DA and DE Series are particularly adapted to controlling photomultiplier tubes (PMT), microchannel plates and image intensifier (MCP/II), electrostatic chuck (E-Chuck), hybrid photodetectors and Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detectors. The company claims that industrials, integrators and researchers will benefit from the units small size, lightweight design, excellent voltage regulation and reduced residual undulation.
When asked about the DA and DE Series potential applications, Bernard Leibovici, SDS’ President, responded "These new components are ideally suited to electrophoresis power supplies for lab-on-chip (LOC) devices with electroosmotic flow (EOF) including those that separate biomolecules like proteins and DNA."
The compact APD Series is specially designed to meet the needs of professionals working to develop products for the growing commercial, and research, applications of avalanche photodiodes. The company claims that these units will enable customers in domains including laser range finders, fiber optic telecommunications and particle physics to achieve greater quantum efficiency and reduced total leakage current.
André Geiger, European Division Manager at AMS Technologies AG commented on working with SDS "The vast range of SDS" products combined with their unique industry know-how enable us to meet the most challenging customer demands in various domains for off-the-shelf and custom designed components. The company’s ability to deliver high-quality subassemblies for OEM integration that respond to unique needs including specific electric, mechanical, environmental or control constraints make SDS’ products the ideal choice for many of our finished equipment and research customers worldwide."
