Instruction Manual

The Kepco Models BOP 100-2MC and BOP 100-2DC have been modified from standard Kepco
Models BOP 100-2M and BOP 100-2D, respectively, to be stable handling capacitive loads up
to 10 mF.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL CORRECTIONS:
This modification makes the BOP more suitable for a wide variety of applications such as
solar cell/ solar panel testing, piezoelectric device driving/ testing, capacitor testing, capacitive
transducer driving/testing and powering industrial or lab-type applications for capacitive or
capacitive-resistive loads.
Static specifications representing the unit’s accuracy in Voltage mode are identical with the
standard BOP models, while the ripple and noise specifications are better (approximately 50%
lower) for MC and DC models than standard BOP models.
Specifications listed in Table 1 are for BOP 100-2MC and BOP 100-2DC in Voltage Mode.
In voltage mode the bandwidth of the BOP 100-2MC and DC models is less than the stan-
dard BOP, while the response time is increased. Nonuniformities of the frequency response can
be nearly eliminated by reducing the bandwidth in Voltage mode. Bandwidth can be reduced in
a predictable manner by increasing the internal compensation capacitance by placing an exter-
nal capacitor in parallel across C21 of Assembly A1 (see Table 2 and Figure 1).

NOTES:
(1) Nonuniformities of the frequency response for the standard 10µF load create a larger 3-dB bandwidth than
for the resistive load.
(2) 10% to 90%, with nominal resistive load.
(3) Load between infinity and nominal resistive load values.
