The bipolar C series line of regulated DC-to-DC
high voltage converters is an extension of the high
power C series.
Bipolar C series units contain a pair of
+ and - standard-product, 60 or 125 W high power C
series assemblies, providing a total of 125 or 250 W. By
encapsulating a module pair within one case, the cost
of testing, potting, burn-in, and system integration is
reduced.
The ± HV output pair is packaged in UltraVolt’s 11.4 cm
x 20.3 cm x 2.8 cm (4.5" x 8" x 1.1") standard case. This
high power density is especially suited to high-energy
pulsers, amplifiers, and discharge devices with large
capacitance, fast repetition rates, or high current loads.
Features

› Low profile
› Fast T
rise
with very low overshoot
› High power to voltage density
› > 200,000 h MTBF at 65°C
› Output short circuit protection
› Fixed-frequency, low stored
energy design
› UL/cUL recognized component;
CE mark (LVD and RoHS)
Typical Applications
› Cap-charging
› Pulsed power
› Ultrasound
› Amplifiers
› Pulse generators
› Lasers
› Electro-optics
› HV pulse generator bias
› HV amplifier bias
