2110: Up to 110 Ap/195 Vp, Voltage or Current Source, Three-Phase
2110
High-power gradient amplifier plus integrated power supply
- Four-quadrant linear design.
- Blanking feature lowers the noise floor on the amplifier by shutting down the output stage. This action occurs in less than 10 µs.
- Robust, linear power supply results in extremely low noise; bi-level switch design limits heat dissipation to output devices.
- Provides precision control of output offset, DC drift and gain linearity.
Key Performance Capabilities:
- Up to 110 Ap, 195 Vp
- Current-mode response: DC-5 kHz (compensation dependent); Voltage-mode response: DC-20 kHz at rated power.
- Noise Floor (when Blanking circuit is enabled): 5 µA or less
- Current Settling Time on ramp of 0A to ±50A or ±50A to 0A: 20 µs to within 1.0A or 1%; 35 µs to within 200 mA or 0.2%
The 2110 is a high-power, DC-enabled linear amplifier and integrated power supply that offers a wide bandwidth and exceptional control of drift and distortion. The 2110 functions as a voltage or current source, making it a good choice for use in the lab or classroom. Its linear design provides a very-low noise floor and fast current rise times. Because the 2110 has no ripple noise, no synching with the console is required.
Soft-clip Option: When the end user of an MRI system has the ability to adjust current rise time and level, the MRI console can require voltage and/or current that is beyond the amplifier's ability to produce. Under those conditions, the Soft-clip Option provides a smooth transition into and out of this clipped condition. This, in turn, permits useable images to be created even when operating at or beyond the capabilities of the gradient amplifier.
The AE Techron brand is known throughout the world for its robust, low-noise gradient amplifiers as well as its product service and support.
