The PS300 series of high-voltage, DC power supplies consists
of three efficient, microprocessor-controlled, switching power
supplies capable of delivering 25 watts of output power at
voltages up to 5 kV. All models have 0.001 % regulation and

0.05 % accuracy and the output voltage can be adjusted with
one volt resolution over the entire operating range.

All PS300 series supplies have rear-panel SHV (Kings type
1704-1 or equivalent) connectors. Optional cables allow
connection with standard high-voltage connectors (SHV or
MHV). A three-position, high-voltage enable switch on the
front panel prevents the high voltage from being turned on
under computer control unless the switch has been manually
armed. A highly visible red LED always indicates when the
high voltage is on. Convenient front-panel LED displays
indicate both the voltage and current delivered to the load at
all times.

Limits and Trips

The PS300 series power supplies have an adjustable voltage
limit which prevents the high voltage from being
inadvertently set above a safe level. An independent current
limit lowers the voltage setting until the current drawn by the
load does not exceed the limit setting. Additionally, a current
trip may be set which turns off the high voltage when the
current limit is exceeded. After a trip, the unit can be
configured to either attempt to turn the high voltage back on,
or to leave it off until a manual reset.

Adjustable Polarity

The output polarity of the PS300 series power supplies is set
with a rear-panel switch. The polarity cannot be controlled via
the computer interface and can only be changed while the unit
is off. Output polarity is always displayed on the front panel
with the voltage level.

Voltage and Current Monitors

Two rear-panel BNC connectors provide voltage and current
monitoring capabilities. A 0 V to 10 V output corresponds to
0 % to 100 % of full scale. These outputs are capable of
driving 10 mA and have a 1 Ω output impedance.

The voltage monitor output can also be configured as a
voltage control input. In this mode, a 0 V to 10 V signal
applied at the input will cause the output high voltage to vary
between 0 % and 100 % of full scale. The output is updated at
a rate of 16 Hz. Additionally, the bandwidth of the voltage
control input is limited by the overall slew rate specification
of the instrument (0 % to 100 % of full scale in less than 0.3 s
under full load).

Stored Settings

All instrument settings are stored in non-volatile memory so
that the instrument will remember its previous state when
powered up. For safety, the high voltage is always initially
turned off. Up to nine complete instrument configurations,
including limit and trip settings, can be stored in memory.
Settings can be recalled manually, or under computer control.

Optional GPIB Interface

An optional GPIB interface allows control of all instrument
functions except output polarity. The required common
commands of the IEEE-488.2 standard are supported. The
power supply can be configured to generate service requests
(SRQ) in the event of limit or trip conditions.

PS300 Series Block Diagram

A high voltage (HV) section converts low drive voltage into high voltage (all high voltage components in the HV section are shielded).
The output voltage (V) and current (I) are sensed and fed back to high-gain compensation circuitry where they are compared to the
programmed values. The compensation circuit controls the output voltage by setting the level of the drive voltage. A diode crossover
allows control of both voltage and current.

Programmed values for the output, limits and trips are set by the microprocessor through a D/A converter. Fast acting limit circuits
check the sensed voltage and current. These work independently of the microprocessor to react quickly in protecting both the supply
and load.

The processor reads the sensed values via an A/D converter and displays them on the front panel. The A/D also reads the External
Voltage Set (when enabled).
