FOR YOUR SAFETY
Before undertaking any troubleshooting, maintenance or exploratory procedure, read
carefully the WARNINGS and CAUTION notices.
This equipment contains voltage hazardous
to human life and safety, and is capable of
inflicting personal injury.
If this instrument is to be powered from the AC line (mains) through an
autotransformer, ensure the common connector is connected to the neutral
(earth pole) of the power supply.
Before operating the unit, ensure the conductor (green wire) is connected to
the ground (earth) conductor of the power outlet. Do not use a two-conductor
extension cord or a three-prong/two-prong adapter. This will defeat the
protective feature of the third conductor in the power cord.
Maintenance and calibration procedures sometimes call for operation of the
unit with power applied and protective covers removed. Read the procedures
and heed warnings to avoid “live” circuit points.
Before operating this instrument:
1. Ensure the proper fuse is in place for the power source to operate.
2. Ensure all other devices connected to or in proximity to this instrument are properly
grounded or connected to the protective third-wire earth ground.
If the instrument:
- fails to operate satisfactorily
- shows visible damage
- has been stored under unfavorable conditions
- has sustained stress
Do not operate until, performance is checked by qualified personnel.

1-2 Overview Racal Instruments Ó2003
Introduction Model 5601 is a 3U single-slot, PXI-based power amplifier. The
amplifier is used for signal amplification purposes. Offering
unprecedented signal purity, Model 5601 amplifies signals from
DC to over 20 MHz. The unit has a fixed gain of 10. However,
one may order the same amplifier with custom gain without
jeopardizing signal purity or amplifier performance.
A common problem with PXI equipment is the inability to
produce high voltages, which results from low power supply
rails. For example, waveform generators, and similar signal
source devices, draw power from ±12V rails. Consequently,
they cannot produce signals above 16Vp-p. Model 5601 solves
this problem by using DC/DC converters to increase rail voltage
to ±24V. In turn, the increase of rail voltage, plus custom
components and unique design, permits amplification of input
signals to 40Vp-p into high impedance loads, or 20Vp-p into
50W. The power amplifier draws current only from the +5V rail,
leaving the other power supply rails free to supply their full
rated current to other devices.
Model 5601 is available with floating input and output
connectors. With this option, the amplifier can float from ground
level up to 250VDC. The only limiting factor is that both the
input and output grounds must connect to the same level. This
capability is important in applications where the amplifying
device must reside at the same ground level as its source. The
floating capability can be added or removed using a user-
accessible jumper connection.
The wideband amplifier occupies just one PXI slot. However, its
performance is unique and outstanding by any standards. With
40Vp-p and over 20MHz bandwidth, one can use Model 5601
in a wide range of applications.
