DA1500-1, 3-Axis Gradient Amplifier

The DA1500-1 Gradient Amplifier from Performance Controls, Inc. (PCI) is a three-axis pulse width modulated amplifier system. The internal DC power supply output voltage can be configured by the MRI OEM and is protected by a redundant hardware/software interlock. The DA1500-1’s exceptionally low output noise, high bandwidth and rock-solid stability make it ideally suited for demanding power amplifier tasks found in laboratory and medical applications.

PCI’s new D-SERIES™ technology is the foundation for the DA1500-1’s many powerful features. Coupled with PCI’s new InSight™ software toolkit, D-SERIES™ technology gives systems engineers, sequence developers, and field service technicians unprecedented insight and capability for maximizing system performance, lowering overall system costs, and ensuring maximum system uptime.
