Improved current and charge amplifiers for driving piezoelectric loads
نویسنده
چکیده
Piezoelectric transducers are known to exhibit less hysterisis when driven with current or charge rather than voltage. Despite this advantage, such methods have found little practical application due to the poor low frequency response of present current and charge driver designs. This paper introduces the compliance feedback current driver containing a secondary voltage feedback loop to prevent DC charging of capacitive loads and to compensate for any voltage or current offsets in the driver circuit. Low frequency bandwidths in the milli-Hertz range can be achieved.

متن کامل1.5 V large-driving class-AB buffer amplifier with quiescent current control - Electronics Letters
Introduction: The class-AB buffer amplifier is widely used for driving heavy resistive or capacitive loads [1–4]. Some buffer amplifiers employ a pseudo-source follower, which has a pair of complementary common-source transistors with two feedback loops consisting of a pair of complementary error amplifiers [1–2]. Employing error amplifiers introduces the excess phase shift and makes the freque...
متن کاملCharge drives for scanning probe microscope positioning stages.
Due to hysteresis exhibited by piezoelectric actuators, positioning stages in scanning probe microscopes require sensor-based closed-loop control. Although closed-loop control is effective at eliminating non-linearity at low scan speeds, the bandwidth compared to open loop is severely reduced. In addition, sensor noise significantly degrades achievable resolution in closed loop. In this work, c...
