Micro dc power supplies come to the UK

According to PPM, the new lines of microsize and micropower high voltage power supplies offer low ripple, tight line and load regulation, programmable output and output current limit protection. Some models feature voltage monitoring and performance to 10ppm. The new series is designed and optimised to meet the needs of design engineers with applications such as avalanche photo diodes, photomultiplier tubes, microchannel plates, image intensifiers, electrostatic chucks, scanning electron microscopes, mobile precipitators and mass spectrometers. Volumes for the new families range from 1.3 to 50cc (0.08in^³ to 3in^³), representing packages less than one tenth the volume of UltraVolt's existing high voltage modules. Output voltages for these new lines range from 0 to 100V through 0 to 8kV, at 100mW to 6W of output power, with output current ranges from 30µA to 6mA. PPM's business development manager, Phil Surman, said: "PPM is excited to bring this new range of microsize and micropower products to the UK. These new microsize and micropower high voltage power supplies enhance our offering to existing customers and open doorways for new customers to work with us."
