EM TEST VDS 200 Series
Manual for Operation V 5.19 34 / 57
Function
The overvoltage protection consists of two parts:
Crowbar switch with the hardware.
A TVS diode will limit the max. overvoltage in the first µs till the security power switch will disconnect the DUT
from the dc source. A crowbar switch will discharge the energy storage capacitor bank via a 1.2Ω resistor to zero.
Controller
An analogue controller controls the overvoltage protection independent.
