Abstract: A high voltage RF power supply capable of supplying a varying amplitude RF signal at a fixed frequency to the electrodes of a mass spectrometer analyzer. The RF generator provides a high voltage, low current signal capable of changing its amplitude in response to an input drive signal. The RF generator circuitry comprises separate positive and negative driver channels interfaced to a class AB amplifier circuit. The separate positive and negative channels drive a pair of current amplifiers with the final output stage comprising an air-core step-up transformer. The RF generator achieves efficiency and stability with a minimum of electronics hardware while incorporating the use of a simplified RF feedback circuit. The RF generator may be used with a variety of mass spectrometer analyzers, particularly those of miniaturized or portable application.

Abstract: A high-speed responsive power supply for measuring equipment minimizes the heating value of a load current in the high-speed responsive power supply mounted on a test head. In order to achieve the object, the high-speed responsive power supply for measuring equipment is constructed as follows. The high-speed responsive power supply is incorporated inside the test head which a device under test is detachably mounted on. A remote sensing power supply provided inside a tester body rack disposed a specific distance from the test head feeds a power supply voltage to the high-speed responsive power supply. From the high-speed responsive power supply, an output supply voltage is fed to the device under test. The remote sensing power supply controls the power supply voltage so that a potential difference between the output supply voltage and the power supply voltage will be minimized within a range where the high-speed responsive power supply operates normally.
