ENHANCED FLOATING HOT DECK
LOW-VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLIES WITH
ISOLATED DIGITAL AND ANALOG I/O
ULTRAVOLT® EFL SERIES
Enhanced
floating
hot deck low-
voltage power
supplies
The EFL
series
of floating hot deck, low-voltage (LV)
power supplies offers an integrated solution for systems
requiring LV power and controls with high voltage
isolation.
Combining a highly isolated, DC-to-DC, multi-
output low-voltage power supply (LVPS) with an advanced
isolated digital and analog I/O topology, the EFL sub-
system provides both power and controls to floating-hot-
deck circuitry. This solution, when combined with one or
more UltraVolt® HVPS or other circuitry, can provide high-
performance solutions for a variety of applications.
Features
› Precision analog control
› Linearity of ±0.05%
and accuracy of ±0.2%
› 10ppm temperature coe
cient
› Isolated up to 15 kV or 30 kV
› Isolation resistance of 150 G
(15 kV) or 2 G (30 kV)
› 4 regulated floating LV power
outputs
› Isolated digital and analog I/O
to and from floating hot deck
Typical Applications
› Floating/stacked ion or
e-beam biases
› Floating filament bias
› Floating pulsers and gated
grids
› Floating capacitance meters
› Floating high side current
monitors
› Floating leakage testers
NORMAL, HALF-QUIET, AND QUIET MODES
All EFLs feature a mode control. Three different
models—normal, half-quiet, and quiet—are
selectable via the voltage level at the mode pin.
A voltage between -1.0 and +0.8 V keeps the unit
in normal mode; the up and down analog channels
follow their inputs. If the mode feature is not used,
the mode pin must be grounded for the EFL
to operate properly.
A voltage more negative than -4.00 V places the
EFL in half-quiet mode. The up channels do not
respond to changes in their inputs in half-quiet
mode.
A voltage greater than +3.75 V and less than
+5.0 V places the EFL in quiet mode. In quiet
mode, the up and down channels do not respond
to changes in their inputs.
The voltage level at the mode pin must not exceed
+5.0 V at any time. Please contact Advanced
Energy® for an analysis of your requirements.
Note: If a voltage > 0.8 V is applied to the mode pin, it must source less
than 400
μA.
