Overview

This reference design presents a four-quadrant discrete floating Voltage and Current (VI) design. Voltage output supports ±40V and 0V to 80V ranges, with three current ranges of 500mA, 10mA, and 10μA. The design operates on force voltage (FV), force current (FI), Buffer, and Gang mode with analog feedback loop. With 20-bit force digital-to- analog converter (DAC) and 18-bit, 2-channel analog- to-digital converter (ADC) and precision signal chain, the reference design achieves 0.01% accuracy for controlling and measuring after calibration.

Features
  • Supports FV, FI, ganging, buffer output, and stack-up
  • Force DAC: 20 bit, up to 1Msps. Sensing ADC: 18 bit, up to 5Msps. Clamp DAC: 15 bit for ±40V, 16 bit for 0V to 80V
  • Voltage output range: 0V to 80V, ±40V. Current range: 10μA,10mA, 500mA
  • Voltage output accuracy: < 25ppm of full scale (FS) at constant voltage (CV), ±40V range, room temperature
  • Current output accuracy: < 30ppm of FS at constant current (CC), ±500mA, room temperature
  • Rising time: About 50μs (from –40V to +40V) at open load, ±40V range, 500mA. Settling time: About 20μs (open to full load or reverse)
  • Support capacitance load: > 100μF
  • Small size: low-voltage signal chain 32mm × 32mm, high-voltage output 20mm × 40mm
