DC BIAS INPUT

Analog

This pin is used in conjunction

 

 

 

input

with signal pin 6 to allow the

 

 

 

 

generator to regulate its power

 

 

 

 

based on an external feedback

 

 

 

 

signal. This User defined 0 to 10

 

 

 

 

V signal provides an input which

 

 

 

 

you can use for closing the

 

 

 

 

power control loop around

 

 

 

 

external components in the RF

 

 

 

 

path. Usually used for bias

 

 

 

 

regulation with this input signal

 

 

 

 

being a scaled representation of

 

 

 

 

the dc bias measured at match

 

 

 

 

network.

 

 

 

 

See Wiring Diagram 4-4.

 

 

 

 

Note: When using this

 

 

 

 

regulation feature, the

 

 

 

 

setpoint must be given at

 

 

 

 

pin 5 (SETPOINT).

 

 

 

 

Setpoints cannot be

 

 

 

 

established through the

 

 

 

 

serial interface at this

 

 

 

 

time.

REGULATION

input

between 4 and 30 V to this pin

 

 

 

 

causes the generator to regulate

 

 

 

 

on load power. No connection to

 

 

 

 

this pin causes the generator to

 

 

 

 

default to forward power

 

 

 

 

regulation.

INTERLOCK LOOP

 

This pin when connected

 

 

 

 

externally to pin 23 closes the

 

 

 

 

interlock and allows the RF

 

 

 

 

output to be enabled.

 

 

 

 

See Wiring Diagram 4-12.
