The LCH Series is designed to meet the unique requirements of medical, aesthetic and industrial pulsed energy systems. The modular design of these highly efficient and flexible devices leads to lower cost, high reliability and shorter lead times.
For years capacitor chargers have relied on resonant inverter topology to deliver constant current to the load. The design of the inverter section requires carefully matched precision components that add to the complexity and testing of the power supply.
The LCH capacitor chargers use a simpler Quasi-Constant Power (QCP) design that drastically reduces parts count and eliminates the need for costly matched components. This results in much better long term reliability and smaller size at a lower cost.

Interface (D Type, 15 Pin)
| Pin # | Signal Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
1 |
Inhibit |
Turn High Voltage ON/OFF |
|
2 |
Input Power Fault |
Pulls Low in case of power failure, normally at logic High |
|
3 |
Sum Fault |
Pulled to logic Low or High (depending on customer option selection) in case of any fault/s detection |
|
4 |
HV On |
Pulled Low when the unit is enabled and there is no internal fault, otherwise at logic High. |
|
5 |
V-Program |
0 to 10V = 0 to Full output voltage or
0 to 5V = 0 to Full output voltage.
Impedance ~ 100kOhm |
|
6 |
Load Fault Indication |
Output rise time of > ~6sec., a malfunction is assumed. A disconnected load capacitor condition will be detected and considered a fault (no delay). In both cases the input supply voltage needs to be recycled to restart. |
|
7 |
V Monitor-Peak |
0 to 5V or 0 to 10V = 0 to V out Max. |
|
8 |
V Monitor |
0 to 5V or 0 to 10V = 0 to V out Max. |

Signal Ground |
All the signals in the connector are referred to this ground, which is shorted internally to the high voltage output negative line. |
