Precision High Voltage

Analog Devices' precision high voltage signal chains combine precision high voltage amplifiers, high voltage digital-to-analog converters (DACs), difference amplifiers, and matched resistor networks. Drive signal chains are offered at several voltage, current drive, density, and slew rates, allowing system designers to find a solution optimized for their needs. Each signal chain provides example solutions to drive high voltage signals up to 216 V or drive currents up to 2 A.
