Introduction
The A10150 is a wideband DC coupled amplifier that combines
high output drive and low distortion. At an output of +24dBm (10Vp-
p into 50Ω), the -3dB bandwidth is 150MHz. With the output current
internally limited to 250mA, the A10150 is fully protected against
shorts to ground.
The A10150’s small footprint box is especially designed to fit on
Tabor’s WX series and models WS8351/2, as an add-on option, to
boost their power performance above the internal capabilities of
4Vp-p, and amplify them to a maximum of 20Vp-p into 50 ohms,
using a fixed gain of x5. 32Vp-p is the maximum amplitude level
this amplifier can produce however, only into high impedance
loads.
Tip
Knowing your source impedance is very important,
because the output gain accuracy is calibrated to
specific source impedance and therefore, any
unmatched load impedance may have an affect on
output level accuracy.
CAUTION
Applying the output signal on inductive or
capacitive loads may damage the amplifier.
