Voltages at the X, Y and Z BNC output connectors can go as high as +-200 V
DC
. This presents
a risk of electrocution.
2 Main Features
The Smart Piezo Drive is a 6-channels, very low noise and drift, high-voltage amplifier for Scanning-
Probe Microscopy applications. With three main inputs, three auxiliary inputs an a wide range of
adjustments for the parameters (output offsets, gains and bandwidths), the Smart Piezo Drive is a
feature-rich, extremely versatile product. Here is the list of the amplifier features:
• Three main inputs (X, Y and Z) with adjustable bandwidth (1 kHz, 10 kHz, 50 kHz) and
adjustable gain (x1, x2, x5, x10, x20) on all channels.
• Three auxiliary inputs (X-aux, Y-aux, Z-aux) with 50 kHz bandwidth and fixed x1 gain.
• Three differential outputs (X, Y and Z).
• Adjustable bandwidth (1 kHz, 10 kHz, 50 kHz) on all channels.
• Adjustable gain (x1, x2, x5, x10, x20) on all channels.
• Full-Range offset control on all channels.
• Auxiliary modulation input on all channels
• Digital control of bandwidth offset and gain through USB and Ethernet connections.
• High-Speed digital monitoring of signals. Allows peak capture as fast as 7 µs.
• USB version only: 3-channels oscilloscope function to observe the outputs signals in real time.
