What Is the AWG?
The AWG (Arbitrary Waveform Generator) is a 2 kW high-speed pulse DC-DC converter designed for applications requiring rapid and precise control of voltage or current. Operating from a DC input, it delivers slew rates exceeding 300V/ms and 200A/ms—ideal for semiconductor manufacturing, advanced laser drivers, and high-frequency pulse plating.
The AWG enables programmable, bi-directional output waveforms and real-time control over voltage and current delivery.
