HVPZT Piezo Driver E-461.OE HVPZT Piezo Driver Module,OEM Version
I. Manual Control: The E-461.00 piezo driver is alow-cost amplifier for high-volt-
age PZTs. It can output a peakcurrent of 0.5 mA and an aver-age current of 0.3 mA. Because
the unit requires an operating
current of only 80 mA @ 12 V,
battery operation is possible. The E-461.OE is the OEM ver-sion of the E-461.00 amplifier.The OEM module does not pro-
vide manual controls. All input
connections are via 6 header
pins located on the bottom.
The HV output is via a coaxialcable with LEMO connector(ERA.0A.250.CTL). The module
is designed for mounting on
circuit boards. The electronics
are fully enclosed in a metal
case. The E-461.00 and E-461.OE can be operated in 2 ways: Output voltage can be set by aDC-offset potentiometer (notsupplied with E-461.OE) in therange of -10 to -1000 V.

FunctionPower amplifierPower amplifier
Output voltage is controlled byan analog signal in the range of
0 to 10 V, applied to the BNCinput. Multiplying by the gainfactor of -100, an output volt-
age range of -10 to -1000 V
results. The DC-offset poten-
tiometer adds a DC bias to the
input, allowing continuous
shifting of the input rangebetween 0 V to +10 V and -10 Vto 0 V (

charge circuitry but a 5 Mh/ 3.9 nF RC network. Therefore,
PZT discharge times will differ
from charge times. If dynamic
(>1 Hz) PZT operation isrequired, please consider the E-463 or E-507 amplifiers (
