4-Quadrant Amplifiers
Power supplies for laboratory use are mostly
only power sources. They are only able to deliver power with one
single polarity, i.e. these instruments only work in one quadrant of
the output voltage/ current diagram. Common amplifiers deliver
voltages with both priorities, but are generally unable to absorb
power values in a range comparable to that which they are able to
deliver. They therefore mainly work as two-quadrant devices. TOE
7610 series of four-quadrant amplifiers is able to work as a power
sink as well as a power source with equal values of delivered or
absorbed power.
The TOE 7610 series is thus a voltage amplifier, bipolar voltage and
current source, and current sink in one instrument. Having to
combine different instruments, where problems frequently occur with
the coordination of individual components and the tendency to
oscillate, now belongs to the past.
