Precision  Voltage  Sources

The key to successful sensor measurements lies in noise-free, zero-drift, transient-proof power supplies.  We offer super-regulated adjustable  PS and fixed  BP series precision voltage sources which feature:

The PS and BP series comprises the world’s best power supplies for operating microwave amplifiers, laser diodes, LEDs, strain gages, sensors, piezo actuators, piezoelectric stages, and photodetectors. The input circuit contains a filter to eliminate stray transients.  The voltage output is super-regulated in a proprietary circuit and refiltered for further noise reduction.  Each supply has multi-level transient suppression and ESD protection for sensitive devices.  A 10-turn precision potentiometer (option HR) enables precise adjustment of the output voltage to 10 mV accuracy.

The voltage is available at a BNC (PS) or 3.5-mm (BP) port on the supply.  A series inline current monitor (PS) is also available on some modules at a separate BNC port.  This monitor is particularly useful for photodetectors or lasers to measure diode current.  For example, to optimize the position of an optical beam on a high-speed photodetector, the photocurrent can be monitored on a Keithley 485 picoammeter.  Ω

Note*: The PS-15AD is specifically designed for amplified devices.  It has high current capability and has dual voltage outputs, one a constant 15 VDC source for an amplifier or device, and also** an adjustable 1-15 VDC source for a photodetector with current monitor circuitry.

Note***: The PS-30AD is configured as an adjustable  1.5 – 30 VDC supply, together with a  ± 15
VDC supply through a 3.5-mm stereo jack, making it compatible with our amplified photodetectors and dual balanced photodetectors.  The PS-30AD has a BNC-F connector for the 1.5 – 30 VDC supply, and a 3.5-mm stereo audio jack (female) connector for the ± 15 VDC supply.  The two supplies (adjustable 1.5 – 30 and the ± 15 VDC) on the PS-30AD should not be used simultaneously.

Note: The PS-05T and the PS-15T have a 3.5-mm stereo audio jack (female) connector for the output voltages.

NOTE*: The PS-100A is designed to output very high voltages.  Extra precaution is absolutely essential to avoid all contact with hazardous voltage levels.  The PS-100A has several built-in features to facilitate safe laboratory usage:
[1] the output voltage is read directly on a large front panel LCD display. 
[2] A 10-turn voltage adjustment potentiometer is provided.  The potentiometer must always be reduced to the minimum position (1.5 V on the LCD display) after each use. 
[3] This unit is equipped with a rear panel AC power switch and a front-panel latching output voltage switch. 
It is highly recommended that all electrical connections at the output be made and verified prior to connecting and switching AC (line/mains) power to the unit..

The BP series are dual / multi voltage regulated power units for portable amplifier and photodetector modules. 

Each BPD/BP3 power supply also functions as a pass-through voltage regulator, which accepts any unregulated input voltages to ± 30 VDC and provides regulated outputs at the rated voltages.  The voltage input / output jacks are compatible with commonly available 3.5-mm stereo plugs.  The multi-voltage adjustable unit, BP3787, has 25-turn trim adjustments for high precision and stability.
