Programmable & Auto-Instrumented HV Amplifier

The Smart Piezo Drive is a 6-channels very low noise and drift, high-voltage amplifier for Scanning-Probe Microscopy applications. With three main inputs, three auxiliary inputs and a wide range of adjustable parameters (output offsets, gains and bandwidths), the Smart Piezo Drive is a feature-rich, extremely versatile product.

Industry Firsts

• An embedded high-precision DSP board allows the amplifier to be entirely software-controlled through a USB or Ethernet link
• Completely software-controllable parameters on all channels:
  • Bandwidth (1kHz to 50kHz)
  • Gain (x1 to x20)
  • Offset (full range)
• 3-channel real-time scope with an unlimited recording function
• Low-pass filtering and adjustable slew-rate limit on offset changes
• Emergency-return: immediately returns all outputs to a preset “safe” position
• Drift-correction function to track thermal drifts of the scanned surface
