Bridged Load Configuration 

To obtain an output voltage range of +/-500V, the TD250-INV can used with a bridged load, as 
illustrated below. Note that the negative side of the load is now driven and cannot be connected to 
ground. The voltage across the bridged load is 

𝑉

𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑

= 𝑉

𝑖𝑛

× 50

 

where 

𝑉

𝑖𝑛

 is the voltage applied to inputs 1, 3, or 5 and has a maximum value of +/-10 V.  

In the bridged configuration, the power bandwidth can be assessed by using the full peak-to-peak 
load voltage in the calculator.

Warranty 

The TD250 is guaranteed for 12 months. The warranty does not cover damage due to misuse.
