Applications
The SA2-50 Shim Amplifier can be used in these and other applications:
- Improvement of MRI magnetic field homogeneity
Features and Benefits
High Efficiency Class-D Design
Ultra-low loss MOSFET’s efficiently deliver high RMS output current.
Two Axes In One Card
Greater value is provided through combining two shim amplifiers into one printed circuit card, sharing common resources.
Integrated Input and Output Filtering
Provides smooth, low noise output current that is typical of linear amplifiers, while offering the power density of switch-mode amplifiers.
Pluggable Design
Offers optional backplane distribution of sensitive control signals. Also facilitates rapid replacement of cards to maximize system up time.
Factory-Set Tuning Options
User can choose between a potentiometer-based variable tuning option, or a factory set tuning option where seven discrete tuning settings can be selected with a DIP switch.
Output Over-Voltage Protection
Amplifier is protected with a voltage clamp against magnetically coupled load disturbances.
