* Introduction
2020-12-15 23:03:14 +01:00
The goal of this test bench is to characterize the Voltage amplifier [[https://www.piezodrive.com/drivers/pd200-60-watt-voltage-amplifier/ ][PD200 ]] from PiezoDrive.
2020-12-16 16:21:54 +01:00
The documentation of the PD200 is accessible [[file:doc/PD200-V7-R1.pdf ][here ]].

* Voltage Amplifier Model
2020-12-16 16:21:54 +01:00
The Amplifier is characterized by its dynamics $G_a(s)$ from voltage inputs $V_ {in}$ to voltage output $V_{out}$.
2020-12-15 23:03:14 +01:00
Ideally, the gain from $V_{in}$ to $V_ {out}$ is constant over a wide frequency band with very small phase drop.
2020-12-16 16:21:54 +01:00
It is also characterized by its output noise $n$.
2020-12-15 23:03:14 +01:00
This noise is described by its Power Spectral Density.
2021-01-13 12:14:03 +01:00
The objective is therefore to determine the transfer function $G_a(s)$ from the input voltage to the output voltage as well as the Power Spectral Density $S_n(\omega)$ of the amplifier output noise.
As both $G_a$ and $S_n$ depends on the load capacitance, they should be measured when loading the amplifier with a $\SI{10}{\micro\farad}$ capacitor.

** Setup
2020-12-15 23:03:14 +01:00
#+begin_note
Here are the documentation of the equipment used for this test bench:
- Voltage Amplifier [[file:doc/PD200-V7-R1.pdf ][PD200 ]]
2021-01-13 12:14:03 +01:00
- Load Capacitor [[file:doc/0900766b815ea422.pdf ][EPCOS 10uF Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor ]]
2020-12-15 23:03:14 +01:00
- Low Noise Voltage Amplifier [[file:doc/egg-5113-preamplifier.pdf ][EG&G 5113 ]]
- Speedgoat ADC [[file:doc/IO131-OEM-Datasheet.pdf ][IO313 ]]
#+end_note
2020-12-16 16:21:54 +01:00
The output noise of the voltage amplifier PD200 is foreseen to be around 1mV rms in a bandwidth from DC to 1MHz.
If we suppose a white noise, this correspond to an amplitude spectral density:
\begin{equation}
\phi_{n} \approx \frac{1\,mV}{\sqrt{1\,MHz}} = 1 \frac{\mu V}{\sqrt{Hz}}
\end{equation}
The RMS noise begin very small compare to the ADC resolution, we must amplify the noise before digitizing the signal.
The added noise of the instrumentation amplifier should be much smaller than the noise of the PD200.
2021-01-13 12:14:03 +01:00
We use the amplifier EG&G 5113 that has a noise of $\approx 4 nV/\sqrt{Hz}$ referred to its input which is much smaller than the noise induced by the PD200.
2020-12-16 16:21:54 +01:00
The gain of the low-noise amplifier can be increased until the full range of the ADC is used.
This gain should be around 1000.

2021-01-13 12:14:03 +01:00
A low pass filter at 10kHz can be included in the EG&G amplifier in order to limit aliasing.
An high pass filter at low frequency can be added if there is a problem of large offset.

** Setup
2020-12-15 23:03:14 +01:00
In order to measure the transfer function from the input voltage $V_{in}$ to the output voltage $V_ {out}$, the test bench shown in Figure [[fig:setup-dynamics-measurement ]] is used.
#+begin_note
Here are the documentation of the equipment used for this test bench:
- Voltage Amplifier [[file:doc/PD200-V7-R1.pdf ][PD200 ]]
2021-01-13 12:14:03 +01:00
- Load Capacitor [[file:doc/0900766b815ea422.pdf ][EPCOS 10uF Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor ]]
2020-12-15 23:03:14 +01:00
- Speedgoat DAC/ADC [[file:doc/IO131-OEM-Datasheet.pdf ][IO313 ]]
#+end_note
2020-12-16 16:21:54 +01:00
For this measurement, the sampling frequency of the Speedgoat ADC should be as high as possible.

** Maximum Frequency/Voltage to not overload the amplifier
The maximum current is 1A [rms] which corresponds to 0.7A in amplitude of the sin wave.
The impedance of the capacitance is:
\[ Z_C(\omega) = \frac{1}{jC\omega} \]
Therefore the relation between the output current and the output voltage is (in amplitude):
\[ V_{out} = \frac{1}{C\omega} I_ {out} \]
There is a gain of 20 between the input voltage and the output voltage:
\[ 20 V_{in} = \frac{1}{C\omega} I_ {out} \]
For a specified voltage input amplitude $V_{in}$, the maximum frequency is then:
\[ \omega_{\text{max}} = \frac{1}{20 C V_ {in}} I_{out,\text{max}} \]
#+begin_src matlab
Iout_max = 0.7; % Maximum output current [A]
C = 3e-6; % Load Capacitance [F]
V_in = linspace(0, 5, 100); % Input Voltage [V]
w_max = 1./(20*C*V_in) * Iout_max; % [rad/s]
