Miniature DC power supplies

Swindon based Pulse Power & Measurement has launched UltraVolt's V and M miniature HV DC to DC converters for the UK market.

The company says that the new lines represent an important extension to UltraVolt's existing product line, specifically due to their small size and lower power output. The two series are designed to offer low ripple, tight tolerances, self restoring output voltage, voltage monitors, and arc and continuous short circuit protection. They are suitable for design engineers requiring bias voltage in applications such as avalanche photo diodes and photomultiplier tubes. The volume for the V series is 13.8cc while the M series is 16.45cc. According to PPM, this represents sizes up to 75% smaller than the AA Series, the smallest power supply in the UltraVolt line. Output voltages for these new lines range from 0 to 600V through 0 to 1500V, at up to 1W output power, with output current ranges from 300µA to 1mA.
