Overview

The power supplies of the A7236 family house 32, 24 or 12 independent high voltage channels. The A7236 is available in different versions equipped with SHV or with Radiall Multipin connector.

blank Radiall multipin connector

Single width (5 TE wide), 32 channel for Mod.A7236N, A7236P

blank SHV connector

Single width (5 TE wide), 12 channels for Mod. A7236DP, A7236DN
Double width (10 TE wide), 24 channels for Mod.A7236SN, A7236SP

Consult our connectors reference page for technical information.

The channels share a Common Floating Return, which allows on-detector grounding, reducing the noise level. The board is available with either positive or negative output polarity.

The output voltage range is 0 ÷ 3.5 kV, with 5 mV of set and monitor resolution. The output channels offer dual current ranges (software selectable):

High Power: 0 ÷ 1.5 mA I set resolution: 10 nA I mon resolution: 5 nA
High Resolution: 0 ÷ 150 μA I set resolution: 10 nA I mon resolution: 500 pA

Independently programmable for each channel:

Output voltage 0 ÷ 3.5 kV step: 50 mV
Current limit (Iset) 0 ÷ 3.5 mA step: 10 nA
V Ramp up/down 1 ÷ 500 V/sec step: 1 V/sec
TRIP parameter 0 ÷ 999.9 s; 1000 s = Infinite step: 0.1 s

Safety features allows the module to perform as a current generator and includes:

Channels
can be enabled or disabled through the Global Interlock logic.
Overvoltage and Undervoltage warning when the output voltage differs from the programmed value.
Overcurrent detection when a channel attempts to exceed the programmed current limit, it signalled to be in “overcurrent” and enter in a TRIP status. The output voltage is varied to keep the current below the programmed limit for a programmable TRIP time, then the channel is switched off. If TRIP is set to “constant current mode”, the channel behaves like a current generator.
Hardware VMAX and IMAX
maximum output voltage and maximum current value can be fixed, via front panel potentiometer, at the same common value for all the board channels. IMAX and VMAX values can be read out via software.
Safety Board Interlock this protection disables the HV generation when the HV outputs are not connected to their loads (only for Multipin Connector versions).

For boards with Radiall 52 pin connector are available the following accessories:
