The E-831.03 OEM piezo driver module is a very compact, cost-effective, single-channel, 4-quadrant power amplifier for low-voltage piezoelectric actuators.
It provides a peak output power of 12 W and average power of 2 W (expandable to 5 W with external heat sink). The E-831.03 is a high-precision amplifier with a fixed gain of 10.0 and outputs voltages in the range of -20 to 120 V for control input signals ranging from of -2 to 12 V. The output is fully compensated for the capacitive loads of up to 10 µF typical of PI"s low-voltage PZTs such as PICMA® piezo actuators. For monitoring purposes, the output voltage is internally divided by 100 and provided at a special monitor pin.
Because piezo actuators require virtually no power in steadystate operation and the power consumption depends on the operating frequency, high-powered amplifiers are not required for many applications. With a peak output current of 100 mA (sink/source) the E-831 is well-suited for switching applications and fast transitions where the capacitive load (the piezo actuator) needs to be charged as quickly as possible. The small-signal bandwidth is about 3 kHz.
Power Supplies for E-831.03 The E-841.05 (input voltage range 10 to 30V) and E-842.05 (input voltage range 30 V to 72 V) switched power supply modules provide all the operating voltages (±15 V, -26 V and +127 V DC) required by the E-831.03 amplifier module. Both models supply enough power for up to three E-831.03 amplifiers with a total output power of 5 W.
A sync. input on the power supply allows synchronization of the internal switching frequency with an external clock (185 to 220 kHz) for elimination of interference in AC-driven position sensors or DACs.
Easy Implementation E-831 and E-841/E-842 modules are enclosed in metal cases with solderable pins for PCB mounting. They are designed to work together without additional components.
Triple Safety The E-831 amplifier is short-circuit proof with both a low-speed current limiter of 50 mA and a high-speed (8 msec) current limiter of 100 mA. When the case temperature rises above 70 °C (can be reached after a few minutes with maximum current) an internal temperature sensor shuts down the output stage until the temperature drops below 60 °C. This operation mode is in-dicated by the active-high TEMP-OFL TTL status line.
