3.1. Features at a Glance

The DBx Module brings ultra-high performance to the industry’s broadest range of programmable DC power supplies, with key features as follows:

  • Add-on module for MagnaDC power supplies

  • Available from 1.5 kW to 3,000 kW+

  • Less than 5 ppm stability

  • Up to 24-bit resolution

  • Up to 10x output ripple reduction

  • Many configurations

  • Current ratings up to 20,000 Adc

  • Voltage ratings up to 1,000 Vdc

  • Voltage, current, and power control

The DBx Module is a performance-enhancing series-connected add-on module for MagnaDC programmable DC power supplies, delivering ultra-high stability, low ripple, high precision and high accuracy, with voltage, current, and power control modes. The combination of the two products provides a broad range of magnet power supply solutions for high-energy physics and medical applications, including driving dipole, quadrupole, and steering magnets, as well as powering coils to establish stable magnetic fields. In addition, the high power density coupled with the high accuracy and low ripple characteristics make the combined solution ideal for ATE calibration applications.

3.2. Configurations

3.2.1. Configuration A1

The DBx Module Configuration A contains all stages, including the linear regulator, differential- and common-mode DC EMI filters, temperature-stabilized ultra-high stability controller, and DCCT. Configuration A occupies a 1U (1.75” high) rack-mount enclosure and is available for voltages from 10 Vdc to 1,000 Vdc and three different max current ratings, at 75 Adc, 150 Adc, and 225 Adc.

3.2.2. Configuration B1

The DBx Module Configuration B is intended for applications that do not require additional DC filtering and contains only the temperature-stabilized ultra-high stability controller and DCCT. Configuration B occupies a 1U rack-mount enclosure and is available for voltages from 10 Vdc to 1,000 Vdc and three different max current ratings, at 75 Adc, 150 Adc, and 225 Adc.

3.2.3. Configuration C1

The DBx Module Configuration C is intended for high-current applications, where the 1U rack-mount enclosure contains only the temperature-stabilized ultra-high stability controller, with a provided external DCCT that ties into the DBx Module through a rear connector. Configuration C is available for voltages from 10 Vdc to 1,000 Vdc and max current ratings from 500 Adc to 10,000 Adc+. For high-power MT Series systems from 100 kW to 3,000 kW+, the DBx Module can be fully integrated inside the MT Series enclosure.
