Low Noise, High Voltage DC/DC Converters

Focus:

Techniques for building low-noise, high-voltage dc-dc converters with low current output (less than 5 mA) for biasing transducers such as photomultipliers, avalanche photodiodes, ultrasonic transducers, capacitance microphones, and radiation detectors and similar devices. The two dc-dc converter circuits described here generate dc outputs ranging from 200 V to 1000 V with less than 100

What you’ll learn:

• How to build low-noise high-voltage dc-dc converters for biasing transducers
• How to measure noise output of high-voltage dc-dc converters
