Models AVRQ-2-B and AVRQ-4-B are suitable for generating the high-speed, high-voltage waveforms necessary for transient immunity testing of opto-couplers and other semiconductor devices. The AVRQ series is also suitable for a range of other applications requiring a highvoltage sweep waveform, such as sweep-control of particle beam systems.
The AVRQ-2-B generates a fixed-amplitude -2 kV pulse with a linear leading edge, followed by a slower exponential decay back to zero. The transition time (10%- 90%) of the leading edge is variable from 50 ns to 500 ns.
The high-voltage pulse is provided on a rear-panel SHV connector. The load connected to this output should have a high DC resistance (> 10 M), and a capacitance of approximately 40 pF (including the capacitance of any cabling).
