The Model 40/15 is a DC-stable, high-voltage power amplifier featuring an all solid-state design for high slew rate, wide bandwidth, and low-noise operation. It is configured as noninverting with a fixed gain of 4000 V/V and is protected against overvoltage and overcurrent conditions that may be generated by active loads or by output short circuits to ground. Precision voltage and current monitors provide low-voltage representations of the high-voltage output and load current for monitoring purposes or for use as feedback signals in a closed-loop system.
The 4-quadrant, active output stage sinks or sources current to reactive or resistive loads throughout the output voltage range. This is essential to achieve the accurate output response and high slew rates demanded by reactive loads.

Features
High-Voltage On/Off
Local Individual push-button switches
Remote TTL compatible input. TTL high (or open) turns off high-voltage output. TTL low turns on highvoltage output.
Dynamic Adjustment: Graduated 1-turn panel potentiometer is used to optimize the AC response for various load parameters.
Current Limit/Trip: Switch selectable for limit or trip. Graduated 1turn panel potentiometer is used to adjust limit or trip level from 0 to ±15 mA.
Out of Regulation Status Indicator and Connnector:
Illuminates and TTL low is provided when unit fails to produce required HV output such as during current limit.
Limit/Trip Status Indicator and Connector:
An indicator will illuminate and a BNC will provide a TTL low when the high-voltage output is disabled due to the output current exceeding the current trip level, the detection of a highvoltage power supply fault, removal of one of the panels, or if the Model 40/15 is in an out of regulation status for greater than 500 ms.
