High Voltage Power Supply
uX MANUAL 118152-001 Rev A
The uX Series is the result of Spellman’s exceptional
high voltage packaging and surface mount fabrication
techniques coupled with proprietary encapsulation
technology producing this ultra-compact X-Ray generator
module. The uX powers grounded cathode X-Ray tubes
from a variety of well-known manufacturers, featuring a
0 to 50kV/65kV high voltage output @ 2mA limited to 50,
65 or 75 Watts. The uX uses closed loop filament control
circuitry providing highly regulated beam current. The low
noise dc filament supply operates between 0.3 and 3.5
amps. Offering tight regulation, high stability and low
ripple, the uX provides users local and remote analog
control to set beam voltage, emission current and filament
current limit. USB, RS-232 and Ethernet interface is standard.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Powering grounded cathode X-Ray tubes from
Kevex, Oxford, RTW, Superior, Varian and Trufocus.

Grid Bias Option (GB):
Plug-n-Play compatibility for Oxford’s Apogee X-Ray Tube
Spellman’s Grid Bias Option for the uX Series is specifically
designed for popular commercially available grid bias X-Ray
tubes. The Grid Bias voltage is developed via the use of separate integrated high frequency switching circuit, providing maximum flexibility and control. The Grid Bias output is a voltage
regulated, current compliant topology ideally suited for Wehnelt
electrode applications. Arc and short circuit protection of the
Grid Bias output prevents any damage due to transient events
or installation errors.
Tracking Mode Operation
Functioning in tracking mode the voltage monitor
(0-10Vdc = 0 to 50kV) of the main high voltage output
is internally connected to the Grid Bias programming input
(0-10Vdc = 0 to -300Vdc of Grid Bias). Connected in this
manner the Grid Bias output will track in a linearly
proportional fashion the setting of the main kV output.
A multiturn potentiometer limits the maximum magnitude
of Grid Bias output applied to the X-Ray tube, providing
unparalleled flexibility.
The output of the Grid Bias option is provided via an
auxiliary two position Phoenix Contact terminal block, the
mating connecter is provided.

Digital Interface
The uX features a standard USB, RS-232 and Ethernet digital
interface. Utilizing these standard digital interfaces can
dramatically simplify power supply interfacing requirements
saving the user both time and money, while enhancing functionality and overall capabiity. Spellman provides a GUI with
the uX that allows the customer to both customize operational
features of the uX while also providing basic power supply
operational features. Details of the uX’s digital interface
capability are described in detail in the uX manual.
