Pulse Current Option
The PULSE current option provides a higher peak current for approximately 150 us instead of the
standard 5 ms. This option is useful in specialty applications that require fast, small changes in the
output voltage with large capacitive loads. This option is not recommended for general purpose
applications as the shorter overload time is detrimental to frequencies below 1 kHz. The pulse current
limits for each configuration are listed in Table 1 and summarized in Table 3. The output voltage span
is the peak-to-peak output voltage range, e.g. the voltage span for the -50V to +150V range is 200V.

Table 3. Maximum peak current duration in the pulse configuration.
The maximum pulse duration versus peak current is described in Figure 1. The pulse current option
can be ordered by appending the
order code with “
-
PULSE”, e.g. “PX200
-P200-
PULSE”.
