Kepco BOP36-12M High-Powered Operational Amplifier
The Kepco BOP36-12M is a premium-grade power supply, offering an impressive output of 36V and 12A. Designed not just as a power supply but as a high-powered operational amplifier, it excels in providing full 4-quadrant, bipolar operation. Its capabilities allow for both sustained DC output and precise replication of arbitrary AC waveforms.
With smooth and linear control, the BOP36-12M allows for seamless voltage and current adjustments throughout its full rated ranges, enabling users to transition through zero voltage without the need for polarity switching. This unique feature makes it an indispensable tool for testing and simulation applications, delivering dynamically agile voltage levels to meet varying demands.
Key features of the Kepco BOP36-12M include:
- Source and Sink Current: Capable of sourcing and sinking 100% of its designated current rating for versatile applications.
- Independent Control Circuits: Features separate control circuits for voltage and current, equipped with automatic crossover to seamlessly switch between current and voltage limits as necessary.
- User-Friendly Design: All controls and flag signals are conveniently accessible through a 50-terminal user port, located at the rear for easy integration.
- Zeroable Preamplifier: Offers a zeroable preamplifier for the efficient scaling and summing of external signals, enhancing its functionality in various experimental setups.
Keep in mind that the BOP36-12M is specifically engineered for high-speed operation, and to leverage its capabilities fully, a mainly resistive load is recommended. For capacitive loads (greater than 0.1 microfarads), adjustments may be necessary to prevent oscillation. This can be achieved in voltage mode by increasing the feedback capacitance or adjusting the BOP's settings for optimal current-mode stability when dealing with inductive loads.
