<div>Subject: Re: Servo controller </div>
<div><br>

Hi Ant,<br>
<br>
Can you tell us more about your requirement please.<br>
<br>
So the servo amplifier runs off of a 12V supply, and is
capable of <br>
delivering up to 10A max output current.<br>
<br>
The input control signal is analogue/linear 0 to 5V.<br>
<br>
<br>
What output configuration are you looking for ?<br>
<br>
a - Single ended (0V in = 0V out, 5V in = 12V out)<br>
<br>
b - H bridge as above, but second output with inverted
sense of 12V output.<br>
<br>
c - Other - more details please<br>
<br>
<br>
It would also be useful to know a bit more about your
application, if <br>
possible.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Mark<br>
<br>
