The TC2000 input stage is configured as an inverting amplifier, allowing the system designer flexibility
in setting the input stage gain and frequency response. Figure 1 shows a typical application where
the input stage is a constant gain inverting amplifier. The input stage gain should be set so that the
maximum input signal level will drive the input stage output to 4Vpp.
The gain of the input stage, above the low frequency high pass filter point, is that of a simple inverting
amplifier: It should be noted that the input amplifiers are biased at approximately 2.5VDC. Thus, the

The modulator converts the signal from the input stage to the high-voltage output signal. The
optimum gain of the modulator is determined from the maximum allowable feedback level for the
modulator and maximum supply voltage for the power stage. Depending on the maximum supply
voltage, the feedback ratio will need to be adjusted to maximize performance. The values of RFBB
and RFBC (see explanation below) define the gain of the modulator. Once these values are chosen,
based on the maximum supply voltage, the gain of the modulator will be fixed even as the supply
voltage fluctuates due to current draw.
