SY1527 - SY2527 - SY3527 power supply boards
03 July 2003 CAEN New Products 9
Channels “zoo”
• HV and LV are used on different detectors /FE Electr.
• Many grounding schemes are used• Floating channel: allows to minimize ground
loop problems • Channel return & chassis ground: various levels
of insulation available.• Polarity: may be fixed or reversible• Naming conventions may be misleading
Let’s try to make things clear!
03 July 2003 CAEN New Products 10
Channel Typology(Catalog naming)
• HV Power supply boards: channels are polarized and referred to the system ground
• Floating LV/HV Boards: a) channels are floating from the system ground up to 500V on a channel by channel basis (reversible polarity)
b) channels are polarized and insulated from the system ground on a channel by channel basis (fixed polarity)
• Common Floating Return HV Boards: channels are polarized with common return insulated from the system ground (typ. HV boards)

• A183x/B P/N Family: 12/28 Ch. HV boards with 100~200 nA and 20nA current resolution (used for wire chambers)
• A1821 P/N: 12 Channels, 3 KV, 200 uA or 20 uA positive or negative boards with extremely high (2 nA) current resolution (used for wire chambers)

Floating LV/HV Boards (a)
• A1510 - A1511 - A1512 - A1519: 12 Ch. 100V to 500V boards, 1 or 10 mA full scale current in a single width (used mainly for silicon/pixel detectors bias)
• A1513A - A1516A – A1517A – A1518A: 6 Ch. Low Voltage floating boards, 15V to 4.5V with currents respectively from 1.5 A to 6 A:a) with sense wires for line drop recoveryb) line drop recovery without the sense wires, only by adjusting a trimmer (used mainly for Front End Electronics supply)
• A1514A: heterogeneous board, 7 Ch., 2x500V, 3x10V, 2x7V (used mainly for silicon/pixel detectors bias & FEE supply )
03 July 2003 CAEN New Products 15
Remote voltage sensing
• Remote Sensing Line (SENSE +/-) to compensate for the voltage drop over the cable
• Voltage is monitored directly at the load by an high impedance differential amplifier through the sense wires

03 July 2003 CAEN New Products 16
Line Drop Recovery without sense wires
• LV boards feature a Line Drop Recovery (LDR) system which can compensate for the voltage drop over the connection cables
• Vset is modified according to the Impedance of the cable (Rcable)
• If the User wishes to employ the LDR system a short calibration procedure is required (trimmer)
• Advantages: no need for sense wires• Disadvantages: less accurate than sense wires,
dependent from Rcable variations (e.g. temp.)
03 July 2003 CAEN New Products 17
Line drop recovery + remote sensing
• Use of sense wires over the first cable segment (A, A’)• the remaining loss (voltage drop over rcable) can be
compensated with the LDR• Advantages: better Vout accuracy, faster recovery to
