Integrated Tetrode Supply for Field Emission SEM

Spellman’s EBM60-FEG Series is an integrated, multiple high voltage power supply specifically designed to drive Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) columns. Spellman’s extensive applications knowledge has enabled us to develop a range of technology platforms that can be customized to meet the demanding requirements of SEM.

The main Acceleration Voltage is a high stability 60kV supply, with integrated floating Filament, Extractor and Suppressor outputs required to drive Field Emission, Cold Cathode and Schottky Electron Sources. All outputs are offered with ultra-low output ripple, minimal micro-discharge, excellent regulation, stability, temperature coefficient and accuracy specifications for unprecedented image quality and resolution. Isolation and control of the respective floating sources is provided via Spellman’s proprietary high voltage isolation techniques.

Customer control of this integrated EBM60-FEG power supply system is accomplished via an RS-232 interface. The unit is CE and UKCA marked.

Typical Applications:
Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM)
Electron Beam Controller

SPECIFICATIONS

Input Voltage:

100 to 240 Vac ±10% @1A max. 50 to 60 Hz ±5%

Environmental:

Operating Temperature: +10°C to +45°C ambient for normal operation. The unit will operate from 0°C but will require an extended warm up period.
Storage Temperature: -25°C to +60°C
Humidity: 0 to 85% RH, non-condensing

Mechanical:

The unit can be operated in any orientation. 

Front Panel Indicators:

-Power On
-Interlocks enabled (both interlocks are closed)
-HV On (any of the HV outputs are enabled)
-Warning (any of the internal warning levels exceeded)
-Operating (unit running correctly)
-Trip
-Fault
-Serial Bus (communication taking place)

Status Outputs:

The unit has three digital outputs to indicate status conditions through TTL signals (high when the corresponding LED is illuminated)
1  - HV on
2 - Fault
3 - Unit Operating

Test GUI:

A product GUI can be provided free of charge for customer testing and development work.

Interlocks: 

Two separate interlocks are provided:
Gun interlock: 24V output provided for an external volt free interlock

HV cable interlock: interlock plate mounted over the HV connector

If any interlock is not present: all high voltage supplies including filament are shut down, however communication over the serial interfaces remains operational.

Protection:

-All outputs are protected from arcs in the load (repetition rate up to 0.1 Hz) and continuous short circuit.
-The unit monitors the temperature of the main power semiconductors and shutdown the relevant outputs if a temperature become excessive. 
-All low voltage inputs are protected against over voltages of ±30 Volts.
-The power input is protected against over voltage and reversed connection.

Weight:

86 lbs. (39kg)

Regulatory Approvals:

Compliant to EEC Low Voltage Directive. UK Conformity Assessed. RoHS Compliant.
