The A1230-02 is a linear, extremely broadband precision power amplifier. It is predestined for all applications that require rapidly changing signals at any resistive and complex loads.
The A1230-02 has two addable inputs with 50 Ω and 100 kΩ input resistance; the 50 Ω input makes it the ideal downstream equipment for conventional function generators.
Two selectable operating voltages are available for high voltage / low current or low voltage / high current applications. Especially for very low impedance loads the choice of the low operating voltage leads to a considerable reduction of power dissipation and a higher output current.
If higher output voltages are required, the preamplifier output (bridge out) allows easy construction of a bridge circuit with the second channel of the A1230-02 to double the output voltage. The rise time is also doubled of course.
If more current is required, the two channels can be easily connected in parallel via a plug-in parallel switch box. In this case both channels must be operated with the identical output signal.
The device is equipped with a quiet, temperature-controlled fan. In addition to overtemperature shutdown, a temperature-dependent power loss calculation and fast current monitoring ensure perfect short-circuit and overload protection.
The unit is operated via the controls on the front panel of the amplifier. In addition, the amplifier can be completely remote controlled via the USB interface using a simple byte protocol.
If higher output voltages or higher output currents are required, configurations with series or parallel connections of several A1230-02 are possible.
