5.4 Power Booster Options
The Power Booster Options available for the VersaSTAT 3 include a 20V/10A, 20V/20A,
and 50V/8A.
Note: The voltage component for the boosters is compliance voltage increase, not
reference voltage increase. The maximum reference voltage remains at +/-10V.
Each power booster includes an external power supply interfaced to additional internal
circuitry of the VersaSTAT 3 system via the rear panel. Once connected, the V3 can be
operated in either boosted mode or normal mode depending on a switch setting at the
rear panel, as
well as some cell cable changes. When set to “Booster” mode and
interfaced correctly to the external power supply, currents up to the maximum for each
option can be applied or measured. The VersaStudio software auto-detects the booster
mode, and automatically sets the parameters needed to operate correctly in that mode.
Note: In boosted mode, the system is required to stay on a single current range, and is
limited in this mode to current measurements at a resolution of 16 bits for the boosted
range.
This option has components that are built into the base unit, so it must be purchased at
the same time along with the base unit, or at a later time by returning the base unit to a
qualified Princeton Applied Research Service Center for installation and calibration.
Refer to Appendix 1 in this hardware section for power booster setup and connections.
5.5 VersaSTAT LC Low Current Interface
The VersaSTAT LC Low Current Interface is a plug-and-play add-on option that
provides current ranges down to a minimum range of 4 pA when used with the
VersaSTAT 3. Please see product brochure for additional details.
