1.Introduction
This chapter describes the general characteristics and main features of the FAST-
PS-1K5 bipolar power supply series.
1.1 FAST-PS-1K5 Overview
High performances, high efficiency, extreme stability, easiness of configuration
and maintenance are the key features of the FAST-PS-1K5 power supply series.
The FAST-PS-1K5 is an independent current- or voltage-controlled digital
bipolar power supply module. Different models with several output current and
voltage ranges are commercially available:
Model Name
Current
Voltage
FAST-PS-1K5 100-15
±100 A
±15 V
FAST-PS-1K5 50-30
±50 A
±30 V
FAST-PS-1K5 30-50
±30 A
±50 V
FAST-PS-1K5 15-100
±15 A
±95 V
Table 1: FAST-PS-1K5 standard models
The FAST-PS-1K5 module is compact and fits in a single 19-inch 2U standard
crate. The power unit implements a completely digital control loop with a Pulse
Width Modulation (PWM) generation technique that allows adapting the system to
any load condition.
The control board houses a dedicated FPGA with integrated dual-core ARM
CPU. The loop regulation task is performed directly by the FPGA logic, in order to
have high performance and deterministic loop control. On the ARM CPU it is
installed an embedded Linux OS, that supervises all process as communication,
diagnostics and local interface handling.
Remote communication is guaranteed by means of an Ethernet 10/100/1000
autosensing socket present on the front panel of the power unit. The power supply can
