Advanced Research Instruments F-100PS

The Advanced Research Instruments F-100PS is a low-noise power supply engineered to deliver clean, stable power to ARI preamplifiers. It connects via a single DB9 cable and routes TTL, ECL, and analog signals through dedicated BNC output connectors. The unit supplies ±15 VDC at 0.25 A with noise performance below 0.2 mVrms, making it suitable for sensitive measurement and signal processing applications.

– Technical Specifications

• Output Voltage: ±15 VDC
• Output Current: 0.25 A per rail
• Noise Level: <0.2 mVrms
• Input Power: 115/220 VAC selectable, 1/4 A draw

– Key Features

• Low-noise design ensures minimal signal degradation in preamplifier circuits
• Single DB9 interface carries both power and signal routing to connected preamplifiers
• Multiple signal outputs via BNC connectors support TTL, ECL, and analog signal distribution
• Dual-voltage AC input accommodates global installation requirements
• Optional NIM converter module available for ECL or TTL signal conditioning when required

– Typical Applications

The F-100PS powers sensitive instrumentation in research environments where signal integrity is critical. Its low noise floor and regulated dual-polarity outputs support precision measurement chains, detector front-end electronics, and signal processing systems that demand clean power isolation from AC mains.

– Compatibility & Integration

Designed for full compatibility with all Advanced Research Instruments preamplifier models. The DB9 connector pinout provides dedicated signal paths: TTL output (Pin 1), ECL outputs (Pins 2 and 5), +15 VDC (Pin 3), signal ground (Pin 6), power ground (Pin 7), −15 VDC (Pin 8), and analog output (Pin 9). Signal outputs cross directly to BNC connectors for convenient external monitoring and triggering. The modular design allows field integration of optional accessories without modification to the core supply.
