About this manual 

 
This user manual is an integral part of the 
Falco Systems WMA-IB-LN ultra-low noise 
phase  inverter  -  buffer  product.  Please 
read  it  carefully  and  pay  attention  to  the 
recommendations and instructions for safe 
use. 
 

Operation of the phase inverter  

 

The  WMA-IB-LN  is  an  ultra-low  noise 
phase  inverter  –  buffer  designed  to  drive 
one or two Falco Systems WMA-200 high 
voltage amplifiers. It can be used: 

Ÿ

 To drive two amplifiers in bridge mode by 

using  both  the  buffered  output  and  the 
inverting output, or 

Ÿ

 

As  a  buffer  between  a  signal  source 

and the amplifier 
The  BNC  and  differential  input  can  be 
used with signals up to ±10V input voltage. 
The  signal  on  the  BNC  connector  is 
converted  to  a  differential  signal  to  drive 

the 

high 

voltage 

amplifier(s). 

The 

differential  outputs  have  a  low  impedance 
and are short-circuit protected. 
 
The  WMA-IB-LN  ships  with  a  customized 
Mean  Well  GS25B28-P1J  power  supply. 
The  power  supply  connector,  315mAT 
fuse  and  on-off  switch  are  on  the  rear 
panel of the WMA-IB-LN enclosure. A blue 
led  indicates  that  the  WMA-IB-LN  is  on.  
The  outputs  are  on  the  left  of  the  front 
panel  to  accommodate  neat  cabling  to 
high  voltage  amplifiers  that  typically  have 
their inputs on the left side too.  
 

Bridge mode 

 
The  WMA-IB-LN  can  be  used  to  double 
the  maximum  output  voltage  driving  a 
load,  such  as  a  piezo  actuator,  EO 
(electro-optical)  modulator,  or  MEMS 
(electromechanical 

systems) 

device, 

among  many  others.  This  is  achieved  by 
driving  two  high  voltage  amplifiers  both
