General Description
The Supertex HV254 is a 32-channel, high voltage, amplier
array integrated circuit. It operates on a 275V high voltage
supply and two low voltage supplies: +5.0V and -5.0V. Each
channel has its own input and output. An integrated diode is
included to help monitor die temperature.
The input voltage can be from a DAC (Digital to Analog
Converter) with a voltage range of 0V to the low voltage supply,
V+. The output of the HV254 will swing from 7.0 to 250V. It
cannot swing to ground. With the internal gain set at 50V/V, a
minimum input signal of 140mV will still maintain linearity. Input
voltages below 140mV can be applied without damage to the
device. However, the amplier will be saturated. Typical output
load is equivalent to a 125MΩ resistor in parallel with a 100pF
capacitor. The outputs have a guaranteed slew rate of at least
3.0V/µs. The internal closed loop gain is set at a nominal value
of 34.0dB (50V/V).
The HV254 is designed to operate with minimal power
consumption while maintaining a guaranteed slew rate of
3.0V/µs. High value resistors are used for the gain setting to
minimize current on the feedback path.
