Avtech AVR-2A-B High Voltage Pulser
Jump to: Datasheet - Manuals - Prices - Valid Model Numbers - Applications - Test Results
The AVR-2A-B is a general-purpose high-power 100V pulse generator, with a wide pulse width range of 100 ns to 100 us, rise and fall times of 10 ns, and a maximum repetition rate of 100 kHz. This model can drive loads of 50 Ohms or higher. When used to drive a series combination of 50 Ohms and a laser diode, it can deliver up to 2 Amps to the diode. Peak powers of 200 Watts and average powers of 50 Watts can be delivered to a 50 Ohm load. Models in the AVR series may be suitable for replacing obsolete pulse generators from the former Velonex Corporation in many applications.
