UltraVolt Extends Its Microsize High Voltage Line

July 19, 2009 by Jeff Shepard

UltraVolt, Inc. announced another addition to its new microsize/micropower product family – the "D" series. The new series offers low ripple (<0.02% peak to peak), tight line/load regulation, output current limit protection, low noise, and buffered voltage and current monitoring.

The micropower "D" series is well suited for a wide range of applications including avalanche photodiodes (APD), electrostatic chucks (E-chuck), gas chromatography, high voltage testing, image intensifiers (ii), micro-channel plates, (MCP), photomultiplier tubes (PMT), scanning electron microscopes (SEM), spectrometers, and much more.

Output voltages for this new microsize line range from 0 to 6kV at up to 6W of output power, with output current from 166µA to 6mA. The volume for "D" series modules is just 2.22in³ for 1-4kV, 1-4W units or 2.98in³ for 1-4kV, 6W and 1-6kV, 1-6W units. Although bigger than UltraVolt’s other recently launched microsize products, "D" series modules still represent a dramatic reduction in size (up to 33%) from the smallest standard line of UltraVolt high voltage power supplies, the "AA" series.

"As always, our creed is Making High Voltage Easier®," said James Morrison, CEO and Co-Founder. "Continuing to add to our microsize, micropower high-voltage product family is a step further in upholding this pledge. I am delighted we can introduce another product that will fulfill our customers’ high voltage needs."
