GENERAL Description

The Model VME4877 is a triple-width VME module used to supply HIGH DC voltage to detectors in a modular, upgradable, computer controlled environment. This 8 channel module with its interchangeable pods has 12-bit setting resolution and extremely low voltage ripples. Computer control has allowed many special features to be developed for the supply, including user-defined control and monitor groups, variable ramp rates, and advanced histogram and graphic features. This 6U unit can be used independently or in a large system. In both cases, a special J2 backplane is required. The system is designed to the VME-bus standard with up to 48 supplies per standard VME crate.

The 12-bit setting resolution is stable with acceptable voltage levels of less than 100 mV rms for frequencies less than 1 kHz and less than 10 mV rms at higher frequencies. Computer controlled monitoring is achieved via 15-bit ADCs resulting in least count sensitivity of (full scale/32,768) for voltage and current on all pods.

The HV supplies were designed to be as simple as possible with complete computer control and monitoring that incorporates many special features. For example, a common ramp rate can be defined in a group and a maximum difference voltage between any two supplies in the group can be set. The computer monitors the voltage and current of the supply (keeping a running time history of current drawn) as well as the temperature of the module and the values of the low voltage supply voltages. Variable ramp rates and user defined supply groups are other software features. PC software is available which uses a popular commercial PC/VME interface.

* The “5.5kV” Power Supplies are limited to 6 watts within a voltage-current limit envelope.
