Introduction
This chapter describes the general characteristics and main features of the F1K5-
DISS power dissipation unit.
1.1
F1K5-DISS Overview
The FAST-PS-1K5 by CAEN ELS is an independent current- or voltage-
controlled digital bipolar power supply module. Standalone, the FAST-PS-1K5 is a
bipolar power converter able to work in the positive current/positive voltage and
negative current/negative voltage quadrants only continuously.
The F1K5-DISS unit adds current/voltage sinking capabilities to the system so
that a FAST-PS-1K5 together with a F1K5-DISS becomes a full 4-quadrant system
capable not only sourcing but also sinking up to 1.500 W.
There are two commercially available models for the F1K5-DISS unit that can be
matched to specific models of the FAST-PS-1K5 power unit:
