Features
The PDUS210 is a complete solution for driving and analysing ultrasonic actuators up to 210 Watts. Functions include high-speed resonance tracking of both series and parallel resonance modes, vibration amplitude control, pulsed excitation, frequency modulation, and analysis functions such as impedance and frequency response measurement. The PDUS210 is well suited to both OEM product integration and laboratory use for research and development. Applications include ultrasonic drilling and cutting, cleaning, medical devices, dental devices, ultrasonic testing, cavitation, and vaporization.
The PDUS210 can be controlled from multiple sources including a PC and the included software package, front panel controls, and/or external logic signals from a foot switch for example. An API for external controllers is also available for RS485 and USB connections, which are suitable for automatic test applications and embedded industrial machinery.
The PDUS210 generates a pure sine-wave output which is ideal for operating at the electrical parallel resonance, or ‘anti-resonance’. This operating point is close to the mechanical resonance frequency but is less sensitive to changes in load dissipation, which is useful in precision machining applications where constant vibration amplitude is desired. Current and power control are also available for regulating vibration amplitude at the series resonance mode.
The PDUS210 is available with standard output voltage ranges from 17 Vrms to 282 Vrms, and current ranges from 0.7 Arms to 11 Arms. These ranges are optimized for load impedances ranging from 1.5 Ohms to 400 Ohms at resonance. For research and development applications, a reconfigurable version is available (PDUS210-FLEX), this version uses external output matching transformers to allow operation at any of the available output voltage ranges.

Note: The output voltage resolution and tolerance is 8 bits, or 256 levels. Therefore, the smallest possible change in voltage is full-scale range / 256. The minimum output voltage is also limited by resolution. When the amplifier is enabled and the output voltage is set to zero volts, the actual output voltage may be up to 1% of the full-scale range.
*The load impedance range is the range of impedances which guarantee more than 100W of power supplied to the load. Higher or lower impedances can be driven but with reduced power. The relationship between maximum achievable power and the load impedance is plotted in the following figure. In this plot, the impedance is normalized by the optimal impedance; that is,
For example, the optimal impedance of the PDUS210-400 is 100 Ohms, so with a 50 Ohm load, the normalized impedance is 0.5, From the plot, it can be observed that greater than 100 W can be achieved with a normalized impedance from 0.65 to 2.1, which for the PDUS210-400, is 65 Ohms to 210 Ohms.
The impedance ranges for other common power levels are listed in the following table. For example, all amplifiers will supply more than 150W with a normalized load impedance between 0.71 and 1.4. For the PDUS210-400, this is equivalent to 71 Ohms and 140 Ohms.
| Minimum Power | Z Low | Z High |

| 150 W | 0.71 x Zopt | 1.4 x Zopt |
| 100 W | 0.65 x Zopt | 2.1 x Zopt |

PDUS210-FLEX Specifications
The PDUS210-FLEX is identical to the standard PDUS210 except that it requires an external transformer connected between the amplifier and transducer using the supplied cable. This allows the user to switch between different output voltage ranges by changing the external transformer. Please refer to the manual for unipolar output voltage options and operating instructions.
The PDUS210-FLEX must be purchased with at least one external transformer. The available part numbers and specifications are:
