# PDUS210 – 210 Watt Ultrasonic Driver / Generator

The PDUS210 is a complete solution for driving precision and high-power ultrasonic actuators. Functions include high-speed resonance tracking of both series or parallel resonance modes, vibration amplitude control, and analysis functions such as impedance and frequency response measurement. The PDUS210 is well suited to both OEM product integration and laboratory use for research and development. Applications include ultrasonic drilling and cutting, medical devices, dental devices, ultrasonic testing, liquid cavitation, and vaporization.

The PDUS210 is controlled via USB and the included software package. An RS485 interface also provides a straight-forward method to control and monitor the amplifier for automatic test and OEM applications.

The PDUS210 generates a pure sine-wave output which avoids the excitation of secondary resonance modes by the drive harmonics. This makes it ideal for operating at the electrical parallel resonance, or ‘anti-resonance’. This operating point is close to the mechanical resonance frequency but is less sensitive to changes in load dissipation, which is useful in precision machining applications where constant vibration amplitude is desired.

The PDUS210 is available with standard output voltage ranges from 17 Vrms to 282 Vrms, and current ranges from 0.7 Arms to 11 Arms. These ranges are optimized for load impedances ranging from 1.5 Ohms to 400 Ohms at resonance. For research and development applications, a reconfigurable version is available (PDUS210-FLEX), this version uses external output matching transformers to allow operation at any of the available output voltage ranges.

#### Standard Output Voltage Ranges

The following table lists the specifications of each model variant, including: the maximum output voltage, the maximum output current, optimal load impedance and the recommended frequency range.

Note: The output voltage resolution and tolerance is 8 bits, or 256 levels. Therefore, the smallest possible change in voltage is full-scale range / 256. The minimum output voltage is also limited by resolution. When the amplifier is enabled and the output voltage is set to zero volts, the actual output voltage may be up to 1% of the full-scale range.

The relationship between maximum achievable power and the load impedance is plotted in the following figure. In this plot, the impedance is normalized by the optimal impedance; that is, $$Z_{norm} = \frac{Z_{load}}{Z_{opt}}$$

For example, the optimal impedance of the PDUS210-400 is 100 Ohms, so with a 50 Ohm load, the normalized impedance is 0.5, From the plot, it can be observed that greater than 100 W can be achieved with a normalized impedance from 0.65 to 2.1, which for the PDUS210-400, is 65 Ohms to 210 Ohms.

The impedance ranges for other common power levels are listed in the following table. For example, all amplifiers will supply more than 150W with a normalized load impedance between 0.71 and 1.4. For the PDUS210-400, this is equivalent to 71 Ohms and 140 Ohms.

 Minimum Power $Z_{Load}$ Lower Bound $Z_{Load}$ Upper Bound 150W $0.71 \times Z_{opt}$ $1.4 \times Z_{opt}$ 100W $0.65 \times Z_{opt}$ $2.1 \times Z_{opt}$ 50W $0.53 \times Z_{opt}$ $4.2 \times Z_{opt}$

### PDUS210-FLEX Specifications

The PDUS210-FLEX is identical to the standard PDUS210 except that it requires an external transformer connected between the amplifier and transducer using the supplied cable. This allows the user to switch between different output voltage ranges by changing the external transformer. Please refer to the section PDUS210-FLEX Operation for instructions.

The PDUS210-FLEX must be purchased with at least one external transformer. The available part numbers and specifications are:
