Can I drive my capacitive load with the HV100?

Yes. Use the graph below to estimate the maximum continuous sine-wave output swing for a capacitive load. Enter the total capacitance connected to one output, the internal supply voltage, the ambient temperature and the output DC offset.

Blue sections show the electrical limit. Green, orange and red sections show the estimated 85 °C, 105 °C and 125 °C junction-temperature limits. The 125 °C curve approximates thermal shutdown.

The estimate assumes low-noise mode, a baseplate held at ambient temperature and no airflow over the top heatsink. Additional cooling of the top heatsink can improve the thermal margin.

Leave operating margin and verify the waveform and temperature in the final setup. Use the lowest internal supply that provides the required output-voltage headroom. Square waves, bursts, load losses and mechanical resonances are not covered.

Capacitive loads may remain charged after the output is disabled. Follow the HV100 user guide before handling or changing connections.
