10. HVAmp Power Up/Down Improper power up/down sequence can damage the HVAmps (High Voltage Amplifiers). Improper power up/down sequence can damage the HVAmps (High Voltage Amplifiers). Power up sequence: Power up sequence: Vpp(300V)  Vnn(-5.5V)  Vdd(6.5V) Power down sequence: Power down sequence: Vdd(6.5V)  Vnn(-5.5V)  Vpp(300V)

11. HVAmp Power Up/Down In order to control the Power up/down sequence, The system includes Latch, Switches & Relay. In order to control the Power up/down sequence, The system includes Latch, Switches & Relay. The switches and the relay responsible on the physical connection between the power supplies and the HVAmps. The switches and the relay responsible on the physical connection between the power supplies and the HVAmps. The power up/down control lines toggle the switches for the appropriate sequence. The power up/down control lines toggle the switches for the appropriate sequence. The Latch locks the state of the switches when the system finished power up. This allows a reduction of control lines. The Latch locks the state of the switches when the system finished power up. This allows a reduction of control lines.
