Pico Electronics AV Series High Voltage DC-DC Converters (1.5kV–10kV)

　　What is the Pico AV Series?

　　The Pico AV Series is a family of proportional high voltage DC-DC converters, meaning the output voltage is directly proportional to the input voltage. This feature makes it ideal for applications requiring controlled and adjustable high-voltage output.

　　Key Highlights

　　·Output voltage: 1.5kV to 10kV

　　·Output power: Up to 1.25W

　　·Input voltage options: 5V, 12V, 15V, 24V, 28V, 48V

　　·Ultra-compact package:

　　0.5" x 0.5" (≤5kV)

　　1.0" x 0.5" (≥6kV)

　　·No heatsink required

　　·Through-hole mounting

　　·Available in isolated and non-isolated configurations

　　How Proportional High Voltage Output Works

　　Unlike regulated converters, the AV Series provides linear proportional output, meaning:

　　Increasing input voltage → increases output voltage

　　Decreasing input voltage → decreases output voltage

　　This makes it perfect for systems that require analog control of high voltage, such as detectors and precision instruments.
