Signal Switch Options (AMXR)
#Switch Types
Selectable for each switch channel separately
Standard
Dual-level switch
- Output Out switches between two voltage levels Vneg and Vpos or has a high impedance (also called Hi-Z or Tristate) when the switch is deactivated
- Controlled by one digital signal, polarity selectable
- Vneg ≤ Vout ≤ Vpos must be fulfilled at all times (even when the switch is deactivated)
Option T (Trilevel)
Three-level switch
- Output Out switches between three voltage levels Vneg, Vmid, and Vpos or has a high impedance (also called Hi-Z or Tristate) when the switch is deactivated
- Controlled by two digital signals, polarities and control logic selectable
- Vneg ≤ Vout ≤ Vpos and Vneg ≤ Vmid ≤ Vpos must be fulfilled at all times (even when the switch is deactivated)
- For applications such as injection, compression and ejection of ions
#Isolation
Selectable for each switch channel separately
Standard
- Maximum isolation voltage: 2.1 kV
- Maximum burst frequency: > 10 MHz
- Minimum pulse duration: < 50 ns
- Propagation delay: 65 ns
- Jitter: < 1 ns
Option H (HV Isolation)
High-voltage isolation
- Maximum isolation voltage: 3 kV (5 kV or more upon request)
- Maximum burst frequency: 2 MHz
- Propagation delay: 120 ns
#Power Supply
Modification of entire device
Standard
- Nominal operating frequency of the auxiliary switching regulators: 125 kHz
- Optional dithering control
Option N (Low Noise)
Power supply optimized for low noise level at the switch output
- Shielded transformers
- Nominal operating frequency of the auxiliary switching regulators: about 28 kHz
- Low high-frequency noise due to resonant converters
- Optional dithering control
#Switch Control
Selectable for each switch channel separately
Standard
Switch input: BNC or LEMO socket on the front panel
Option D (Rear Control)
Switch control via connector on the rear panel
Switch inputs (selectable via a slide switch):
- BNC/LEMO socket on the front panel
- Control signal at the rear connector
Option M (Monitoring)
Monitoring output on the front panel
- Dual-level switches:
- Only available as Option RM: Rear control (option R) + monitoring
- Switch input on the front panel can be used as a monitoring output when the switch is controlled via the signal from the rear connector (selectable via a slide switch)
- Three-level switches (option T):
- Additional socket on the front panel for monitoring output
