It is optimized for differential drive of deflection plates for electrostatic modulation of particle beams in time-of-flight mass spectrometers and accelerators. The PVM-4210 is a complete pulser solution with high voltage power supplies, energy storage and output network. The module includes two pulse output channels that are controlled by a common control logic. Each channel is a half-bridge (totem pole) design, offering equally fast pulse rise and fall times, low power dissipation, and virtually no overshoot. The block diagram on the page below shows the main functional blocks of the pulser: ![](https://www.berkeleynucleonics.com/wp-content/uploads/pvm_4210_pg_2_chart.png) [ ![](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 1105 100'%2F%3E) ](https://academy.berkeleynucleonics.com/) Overview Specifications Technical Resources Downloadable Resources Media Price Lists ##### Applications - Differential drive of deflection plates for electrostatic modulation of particle beams in time-of-flight mass spectrometers and accelerators - Driving high impedance, capacitive load such as Pockels Cells and Q Switches, electrodes, microchannel plates, acoustic transducers, image intensifiers and photomultiplier tubes ##### Features - Simultaneous Positive and Negative 0 to +950V and 0 to -950V - >20kHz Pulse Repetition Frequency - Internal High Voltage Power Supplies **Max Voltage Amplitude** 950V **Min/Max Pulse Width** <50ns to DC measured FWHM **Max Frequency** 20kHz **Rise/Fall Time** 25ns **Pulse Engine (Trigger)** External **Pulse Polarity** Bipolar (+/-) **Remote Control** N/A **Form Factor** Module **Dimensions (in)** 18x10x6 **Weight (lbs)** 4 ##### Connector Pin-Outs and User Adjustments **DB-15 PIN Number** Function **P1-2** Ground P1-3 +5VDC Output for Enable Circuit (See text below) **P1-6** Gate TTL into 50Ω **P1-7** +24VDC Return (Ground) **P1-9** Non-inverted gate polarity select (when jumpered to pin 10) **P1-10** Gate/Output polarity selected **P1-11** Inverted gate polarity select (when jumpered to pin 10) **P1-12** Gate Return (Ground) **P1-14** Power Supply Enable Input (TTL High) **P1-15** +24VDC to +28VDC \+ Pulse Out: Positive Pulse Output (SHV Connector, End Panel) – Pulse Out: Negative Pulse Output (SHV Connector, End Panel) ##### Controls: +HV Adjust: +V Adjust, Full Counter-Clockwise = 0V -HV Adjust: -V Adjust, Full Counter-Clockwise = 0V Mechanical Dimensions and Mounting Hole/Connector Location Drawing ![](https://www.berkeleynucleonics.com/wp-content/uploads/pvm_4210_chart_mechanical_dimensions_and_mounting_connector_locations.png) [ PVM-4210 Datasheet](https://www.berkeleynucleonics.com/download/22361/?tmstv=1770923017) Downloadable resources such as datasheets, firmware, software, drivers and products manuals.
