1.1 General
The BP4610 is a bipolar power supply that combines a high-speed power amplifier capable of bipolar
output of an output voltage and current, and an internal signal source (DC and AC). It can be used as a
high-speed bipolar amplifier that uses an external signal as input.
Since the BP4610 performs bipolar output, the output voltage and current supply ranges cover all four
quadrants. Whereas only positive current (source current) can be supplied in the case of a general DC
power supply, the BP4610 is capable of supplying both positive and negative (source and sink) current.
Both CV and CC output characteristics are supported, and the rated output voltage and current are
±
60
V and
±
10 A, respectively. The output voltage expansion function allows the output of a voltage of up to
120 Vp-p max. in the range of
−
115 V to +115 V.
The BP4610 has a response calibration function that allows the user to adjust the response
characteristics of the amplifier according to the actual load that is used. As a result, output waveform
distortion can be improved for a wide range of load conditions, including resistance load and inductive
load. Using this function, it is also possible to raise the frequency band for the resistance load.
The functions (except response calibration adjustment) of the BP4610 can be remotely controlled from
an external computer via the USB interface.
Either 100 V AC or 200 V AC can be used as the power supply input, and the consumption current can
be minimized by using the input power factor control function.
1.2 Features
Large LCD screen operation panel
A large LCD screen operation panel with backlight is provided.
CV/CC output characteristics
The output characteristics can be selected from between CV (constant voltage) and CC (constant
current).
CV characteristics: The voltage is supplied to the load proportionally to the input signal.
CC characteristics: The current is supplied to the load proportionally to the input signal.
Various signal sources
When using an internal signal source, it is possible to output the AC component (sine wave, square
wave, arbitrary wave) on top of the DC component.
When using an external signal input, it is possible to add the external signal and internal signal
sources.
