Description: WO 88/02953 - I- PCT/US87/0262 HIGH VOLTAGE AMPLIFIER BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This application is a continuation-in-part-to the Application of William Vosteen and Mason Forrest Cox, Serial No. 06/917,144, filed on October 9, 1986. Field of the Invention This invention relates generally to amplifier circuits and, more particularly, to high voltage amplifier circuits. Background Information It is known in the art to measure the electrostatic field and potential of a test surface using a non-contacting voltage metering apparatus employing means for modulating the capacitance between the metering apparatus and a test surface to be measured. Such apparatus is shown, for example, in United States Patent No. 3,611,127 to Vosteen and assigned to the assignee of the present invention. While such metering apparatus is highly accurate and stable, the frequency range, or bandwidth, over which the me¬ tering apparatus may effectively operate is limited by the fre¬ quency at which the capacitance is modulated. Typically, the alternating current (AC) potential of the surface under test may not be adequately measured for AC voltages in excess of one-half the frequency of modulation. For example, a conventional metering apparatus having a modulating frequency between 1000 and 2000 hertz, will have a maximum fre¬ quency response of between 500 and 1000 hertz. Various techniques have been used in the prior art to increase the frequency range for voltage metering apparatus. For example, metering apparatus having somewhat higher frequency response is known which utilizes a preamplifier and an integrator having a high frequency response path therebetween for high frequency signals. However, the introduction of the modulating frequency signal, which is itself a signal of rela¬ tively high frequency, into the integrator limits long-term sta¬ bility in the metering apparatus. A novel voltage metering apparatus, which overcomes the high frequency response and instability problems for me¬ tering apparatus and which has improved noise immunity, is pres¬ ented in the above-cited parent application. That novel appara ¬ tus also has improved high voltage measuring capability, achieved using a novel high voltage amplifier. The high voltage amplifier of the present invention may be used outside the area of voltage metering, however. Voltage amplifiers are known for providing voltage amplification of an input signal within a predetermined voltage range. Typically, such voltage amplifiers are restricted to lower ranges of voltage amplification, and are subject to the negative effects of high frequency signals. Typically, also, known voltage amplifiers tend to provide non-linear voltage amplification outside a limited range. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a high voltage amplifier having a design such that the amplifier can be expanded as necessary to provide relatively linear amplification over a wide voltage range. A further object of the invention is to provide a high voltage amplifier having good high frequency response. Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description or may be learned by prac¬ tice of the invention. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To achieve the objects, and in accordance with the purposes of the invention as embodied and as broadly described herein, the invention provides a high voltage amplifier, coupled to a high voltage power supply terminal, for amplifying an input voltage signal. The amplifier comprises control means, coupled to receive the input voltage signal, for generating an output current signal proportional to the input voltage signal; and load means, coupled to the control means and to the high voltage power supply terminal, for producing an output voltage signal from the output current. The output voltage signal is propor¬ tional to the input voltage signal. The load means includes a plurality of MOSFET circuits connected in cascade between the control means and the high voltage power supply terminal. The MOSFET circuits each include a MOSFET having a gate, a source and a drain, and are biased in the linear region. The MOSFET circuits are connected such that the voltage drop across each of the MOSFET circuits is substantially the same. υTE SHSS τ The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and which constitute a part of this specification, illustrate preferred embodiments of this invention, and together with the description, explain the principals of this invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the. accompanying drawings in which like reference characters refer to like elements . Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a non-contacting voltage metering apparatus 10 for monitoring the electrical potential between a test surface 12 and a universal reference 13. Metering apparatus 10 includes a housing 14, establishing a local reference potential. Mounted in housing 14 is a sensing electrode 16 which is positioned across from and in proximity to test surface 12 such that a surface 15 of sensing electrode 16 is capacitively coupled to test surface 12. Apparatus 10 includes means for modulating the capacitive coupling between the test surface and the electrode surface at a predetermined frequency, the capaci¬ tive coupling between test surface 12 and s.urface 15 of sensing electrode 16 being modulated by less than one hundred percent and preferably by no more than fifty percent. As embodied herein, the modulating means comprises a tuning fork mechanism 18 which mechnically modulates the capacitive coupling between test surface 12 and the surface of sensing electrode 16. A tun¬ ing fork mechanism of the type described is disclosed in United States Patent No. 3,921,087 to Vosteen. The frequency of vibra¬ tion of sensing electrode 16 by tuning fork.mechanism 18 is con¬ trolled by an oscillator 19 which is connected to tuning fork mechanism 18. The frequency of oscillator 19 is hereinafter referred to as a reference frequency. The modulation of the capacitive coupling between test surface 12 and sensing electrode 16 induces a capacitive voltage on surface 15 of sensing electrode 16, the induced voltage being proportional to the voltage existing at test surface 12 which may include direct current (DC) and AC components. As is well known to those skilled in the art, other means of modulating the capacitive coupling between test surface 12 and surface 15 of sensing electrode 16 may be provided, such as a rotating shutter or vibrating electrode. Sensing electrode 16 has an output terminal -17 which is coupled to amplifying means having an input and an output for amplifying a voltage present on electrode output terminal 17. Preferably, electrode output terminal 17 is coupled to an input terminal of a preamplifier 20 which comprises a first stage of the amplifying means . The output of preamplifier 20 is prefer¬ ably connected to a high gain wideband amplifier 22 which compises a second stage of the amplifying means. Since the voltage induced on surface 15 of sensing electrode 16 is induced by what are, typically, small, capacitance variations (on the order of picof rads) , it is necessary in preserving the sensing electrode voltage to minimize the capacitive loading on sensing electrode 16. Accordingly, preamplifier 20 comprises a wideband operational amplifier having extremely high input resistance and low input capacitance. High gain operational amplifier 22 fur¬ ther amplifies the signal from sensing electrode 16 by a gain of; for example, 20. Both amplifier 20 and high gain operation¬ al amplifier 22 are wideband amplifiers responsive to low and high frequency signals. The output of high gain operational amplifier 22 is UBSTITUTE SHSBΓ coupled to one input 23 of integrator 24, the other input 25 of which is connected to housing 14 through a circuit common con¬ nection 26. The output of integrator 24 is coupled to a high voltage amplifier 30 having an output connected to the reference surface. The input of high voltage amplifier 30 is coupled to the output of integrator 24. The output of . integrator 24 is coupled to the input of a phase sensitive detector 32. The out¬ put of phase sensitive detector 32 is connected to input 23 of integrator 24. Phase sensitive detector 32 includes a reference terminal 34 coupled to reference oscillator 19, and utilizes the signal supplied to reference terminal 34 by oscillator 19 to demodulate the input received from integrator 24. The input re¬ ceived from integrator 24 comprises a signal having an amplitude proportional to and a polarity the same as test surface 12. Since the voltage induced on sensing electrode 16 is induced by tuning fork mechanism 18 in accordance with the frequency of os¬ cillator 24, the output of integrator 19 is a signal having a component the frequency of which is equivalent to the frequency of oscillator 19. Phase sensitive detector 32 compares the oscillator signal at reference terminal 34 to the input signal from integrator 24 to produce a DC output which is fed back into integrator 24 to cancel the effect of the voltage-inducing os¬ cillation. Accordingly, the output of phase sensitive detector 32 is a signal indicating the amplitude and polarity of test surface 12 as it would be measured by an ideal stationary volt¬ age detector capable of contacting test surface 12 without affecting the voltage thereupon. Because the reference fre¬ quency is demodulated from the output of integrator 24 by phase sensitive detector 32, and not passed to circuit common (as in the prior art) , the long-term stability of voltage metering apparatus 10 is. enhanced. The output of integrator 24 is coupled to the input of high voltage operational amplifier 30 to produce a high voltage output. The input to high voltage amplifier 30 may be on the order of, for example, 0 to 5 volts and the output may be on the order of, for example, 0 to 2000 volts. The output of the voltage metering apparatus is used to drive circuit common to the potential of test surface 12. As circuit common 26 approaches the test surface potential, the voltage induced on sensing electrode 16 approaches zero, the potential on electrode output terminal 17 being a measure of the potential between circuit common 26 and the test surface poten¬ tial. The test surface potential is obtained, therefore, by a measure of the potential between circuit common 26 of housing 14 and true ground. Apparatus 10 thus provides a highly stable and accurate voltage metering apparatus in which the high frequency response is limited only by the bandwidth of preamplifier 20, amplifier 22, integrator 24, and amplifier 30, and not by the frequency of oscillator 19. Figure 2 shows a second voltage metering apparatus 38. In addition to components described with regard to apparatus 10, apparatus 38 comprises means for disabling the feedback circuit upon occurrence of transient signals at the amplifying means output. As embodied herein, the disabling means includes- a band pass filter 40, a noise detection circuit 52, and a sample-and- hold^SH) circuit 54. Band pass filter 40 has an input 42 con¬ nected to the output of integrator 24. Band pass amplifier 40 has an output 44 connected to the input of phase sensitive detector 32 and a disable terminal 46 connected to the output 48 of noise detection circuit 50. * Noise detection circuit 50 has an input 52 connected to the output of amplifier 22. Metering apparatus 38 also includes SH circuit 54 having an input 56 connected to the output of phase sensitive detector 32 and an output 58 connected to,input 23 of integrator 24. SH circuit 54 also includes an enable terminal 60 connected to output 48 of noise detector 50. Band pass amplifier 40 and SH circuit 54 comprise part of the feedback circuit from the output of integrator 24 to the input of integrator 24. Band pass amplifier 40 filters from the feedback cir¬ cuit signals with frequencies not in the region of the reference frequency generated by oscillator 19. Signals having frequen¬ cies in the range of the reference frequency, for example, 800-1200 Hertz for a 1000 Hertz reference signal, are passed through phase sensitive detector 32 in order that the reference signal may be compared with the input signal to produce a signal BSTITUTE SHSET which has been demodulated of the reference frequency, i.e., a signal having an amplitude and phase solely reflective of the voltage of test surface 12 and not superimposed on the reference signal. In this way, the reference signal is eliminated from the input to high voltage output 30 and therefore from the cir¬ cuit common voltage so that the reference frequency signal will not cancel the voltage induced on sensing electrode 16, the voltage on sensing electrode being induced in accordance with the reference frequency. Noise detection ^ circuit 50 detects the presence of high amplitude transient signals which have the potential to cause inaccuracies in apparatus 38 by distorting the signal pro¬ vided to integrator 24 by the feedback circuit, including phase sensitive detector 32. Upon occurrence of a transient, a signal is supplied to input 46 to disable band pass amplifier 40 and to input 60 to enable SH circuit 54. SH circuit 54 then supplies a constant signal to input 23 of integrator 24 until decay of the transient, at which time SH circuit 54 is disabled and normal operation of band pass filter 40 is restored. Referring to Figure 3, a wideband preamplifier 20 in¬ cludes an operational amplifier 60. Output terminal 17 of sensing electrode 16 is coupled to an input 62 of operational amplifier 60 through a resistor 64. The other input 66 of oper¬ ational amplfier 60 is connected to output 68 of operational amplifier 60. The input 62 of operational amplifier 60 is also coupled to the output of a preamplifier stabilizer 70. Pre¬ amplifier stabilizer 70 is an integrator with a feedback circuit from an input 74 to output 76 through a capacitor 78. Input 74 is also connected to the output of operational amplifier 60 through a resistor 75. The other input 80 of operational ampli¬ fier 70 is coupled to circuit common, i.e., housing 14 through a resistor-capacitor circuit 82 with a resistor 84 and a capacitor 86. Preamplifier stabilizer 70 also includes a capacitor 88. Output 76 of preamplifier stabilizer 70 is connected to preamplifier input 62 through resistor 77. Apparatus 38 thus includes means for stabilizing the output of preamplifier 20. As embodied herein, the stabilizing means comprises preamplifier stabilizer " 70. In apparatus 38, operational amplifiers 60 and SUBSTITU 72 may comprise models F356 and LM308 devices, respectively, commercially available from the National Semiconductor Corpora¬ tion. Referring to Figure 4, the construction of wideband operational amplifier 22 is shown in greater detail. Amplifier 22 includes operational amplifier 90, which may be, for example, a type LF356 device commercially available from the National Semiconductor Corporation. One input 92 of operational ampli¬ fier 90 is coupled to output 68 of preamplifier 20 through capacitors 92 and 94 and resistor 96, and coupled through a variable resistor 97 to circuit common for adjustment of system gain. The other input 98 of operational amplifier 90 is con¬ nected to output 100 of operational amplifier 90 through a re¬ sistor 102. Operational amplifier output 100 is connected to input 23 of integrator 24 through variable resistor 106. Opera¬ tional amplifier input 92 is tied to circuit common, i.e., hous¬ ing 14 through resistor 104. Integrator * 24 is shown in greater detail in Figure 5. Integrator input 25 is connected to housing 14 and includes cir¬ cuit 110 comprising capacitor 112 and resistor 114. Integrator input 23 is also connected to a voltage limiter 118. Voltage limiter 118 is used for "soft-clamping" to prevent integrator saturation which would disable system functioning. Also con¬ nected to integrator input 23 is a zero voltage reference 128 for instrument zero control. A variable resistor 130 is inter¬ posed between voltage reference 128 and input 23. Operational amplifier 26 of integrator 24, which may be, for example, a type LF353 device commercially available from National Semiconductor Corporation, has an output 140 which is connected by a feedback circuit to input 23. The feedback cir¬ cuit includes a resistor 142 between output 140 and capacitor 28, and capacitor 28 between resistor 142 and input 23. Voltage limiter 118 is also connected to output 140. Integrator 24 in¬ tegrates the signal from high gain operational amplifier output 100, preserving the polarity of test surface 12 and driving the output 36 of high voltage amplifier 30 toward the voltage pres¬ ent at test surface .12. High voltage amplifier 30 receives, for example, signals having an amplitude on the order of volts, e.g., 0 to 5 volts from integrator output 140 and has, for example, an output on the order of thousands of volts, e.g., 0 to 2000. High volt¬ age amplifier 30 increases the input signal which is proportion¬ al to the voltage of test surface 16 to a voltage which is on the same order as the voltage present at test surface 16. Cir¬ cuit common 26, in the form of housing 14, is driven to the actual test surface voltage by output 36 of high voltage ampli¬ fier 30 thereby causing the voltage between circuit common 26 and test surface 12 to approach zero. High voltage amplifier 30 is discussed in greater detail below. Oscillator 19 which controls the frequency of vibra¬ tion of sensing electrode 16 and provides the reference fre¬ quency to terminal 34 of phase sensitive detector 32, is of a type generally used in voltage metering apparatus and known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Phase sensitive detector 32 is shown in detail in Fig¬ ure 6. Phase sensitive detector 32 comprises an input 150 which is connected to integrator output 140 in metering apparatus 10 and band pass amplifier output 44 in metering apparatus 38. Input 150 is connected through a capacitor 152 and a resistor 154 to an input 156 of an operational amplifier 158 which may be, for example, a type LM308 device commercially available from National Semiconductor Corporation. An output 160 is connected to input 156 through a feedback circuit 162 comprising a resis¬ tor 164. An input 166 of operational amplifier 158 is connected to housing 14 and includes a circuit comprising a capacitor 168 and a resistor 170 in parallel. Output 160 is connected to ref¬ erence terminal 34 through a resistor 172. Reference terminal 34 is also connected to one end of a resistor 174. The signal present at the other end of resistor 174 comprises an output 176 of phase sensitive detector 32. An oscillator-controlled gate 175 is used to forward the reference frequency to reference ter¬ minal 34. Output 176 is connected by a feedforward circuit to a node between capacitor 152 and resistor 154. Output 176 is also connected to integrator input 23 in metering apparatus 10 and to SH circuit input 56 in metering apparatus 38. Referring to Figure 7, the preferred embodiment of high voltage amplifier 30 includes a plurality of T-MOS power Field Effect Transistors (FETs) 200 in a series resistor- capacitor divider controlled configuration. Resistors 202 in series with the FET gate leads prevent spurious oscillations in the voltage across the parallel capacitor-resistor circuits and to control the slew rate of FETs 200. Zener diodes 204 are used to clamp the FET source voltage across the gate for voltages below which damage will occur. Lines AA and BB are illustrative of the fact that the circuit configuration may be repeated in¬ definitely to achieve a ..desired high voltage output level. More specifically, high voltage amplifier 30, in the preferred embodiment, comprises two identically configured por¬ tions. Each of the portions is coupled to a high voltage power supply terminal of, for example, +2000 and -2000 volts, respec¬ tively. Voltage amplifier 30 amplifies the voltage at output 140. Each of the portions of amplifier 30 (and hence amplifier 30 itself) comprises control means, coupled to receive, as input, the voltage at output 140, for generating an output cur¬ rent signal proportion to the voltage signal at output 140. As here embodied, the control means comprises a control circuit 206 including a zener diode, a MOSFET, and a resistor as shown in Figure 7. The MOSFET is preferably connected as a voltage-to- current converter. The output current signal of the MOSFET of control circuit 206 flows through the control means resistor, which may have, for example, a resistance of 270 ohms, as shown. Voltage amplifier 30 further comprises load means cou¬ pled to control circuit 206 and to one of the high voltage power supply terminals for producing an output voltage signal from the output control of control circuit 206, the output voltage being proportional to the voltage at output 140. As here embodied, the load means includes a plurality of MOSFET circuits connected in cascade between control circuit 206 and one of the high volt¬ age power supply terminals. Each MOSFET circuit includes one of MOSFETs 200, each MOSFET having a gate, a source and a drain, and biased in its linear region. The MOSFET circuits are con¬ nected such that the voltage drop across each MOSFET circuit is substantially the same, with each MOSFET circuit sharing a por¬ tion of the voltage between control circuit 206 and the power supply terminal. The number of MOSFET circuits of which the load means is comprised may be increased to allow amplification over any predetermined high voltage range. Each of the MOSFET circuits described above preferably includes a coupling resistor 208 having first and second ends. The first end of coupling resistor 208 is coupled to the gate of the MOSFET of that MOSFET circuit. The circuits also preferably include a capacitor 210 having first and second ends, the first end also being coupled to the gate of the MOSFET of that MOSFET circuit. In a termination circuit comprising a first one of the MOSFET circuits, the drain of the respective MOSFET and the sec¬ ond ends of the respective coupling resistor 208 and capacitor 210 are coupled to the high voltage terminal. In a connecting circuit comprising a second one of said MOSFET circuits, the source and the first ends of the respective coupling resistor 208 and capacitor 210 are coupled to control circuit 206, and in a dividing circuit comprising at least a third one of the MOSFET circuits , • the respective source and gate are connected to the drain of a MOSFET in an adjacent one of the MOSFET circuits- The second ends of coupling resistor 208 and capacitor 210 of each of the at least a third one of the MOSFET circuits are con¬ nected to the first ends of coupling resistor 208 and capacitor 210 of the other adjacent one of the MOSFET circuits. Coupling resistor 208 and capacitor 210 work in combination to divide voltage across the MOSFETs 200. High voltage amplifier 30 may further include a gate resistor 202 coupled between the gate and the first ends of cou¬ pling resistor 208 and capacitor 210 of each MOSFET circuit. As discussed previously, gate resistor 202 prevents spurious volt¬ age oscillations detectable by MOSFET 200, and prevents FET sat¬ uration during slewing conditions. As also discussed previous¬ ly, zener diodes 204 are used to clamp the FET source voltage across the gate. Each MOSFET circuit not coupled to control circuit 206 or a power supply terminal includes a zener diode 204 coupled between the source of the MOSFET and the second end of coupling resistor 208 and capacitor 210 of that MOSFET cir¬ cuit as a MOSFET voltage protector. UBSTITUTE SHEET As shown in Fig. 7, the respective resistance and capacitance values for coupling resistors 208 and capacitors 210 may be the same for each MOSFET circuit. Alternatively, the values may be graduated upward in value, with the MOSFET circuit coupled to control circuit 206 having the highest input load. As described previously, band pass filter 40 is designed to operate in the range of the reference frequency at times when high amplitude transient signals have not been detected. Noise detector unit 50 disables band pass filter 40 whenever noise detector unit 50, which has an input 52 connected to the output of high gain operational amplifier 22, detects a high amplitude transient signal. When band pass filter 40 is disabled, SH circuit 54 is enabled by noise detector unit 50 through an enable terminal 60. SH circuit 54 receives the sig¬ nal output from phase sensitive detector 32 at input 56 during times when high amplitude transient signals have not been detected. SH circuit 54 comprises a device (which may be, for example, a type LM308 integrated circuit device commercially available from the National Semiconductor Corporation with a J177FET from Siliconix Corporation) which holds the signal at input 56 for use during periods when the output of high gain op¬ erational amplfier 22 includes high amplitude transients and provides a constant signal to the input 23 of integrator 24 to preserve the long term stability of voltage metering even in the presence of transients. It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications may be made to the high voltage amplifier of the subject invention without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the inven¬ tion cover modification and variations of the invention, provid¬ ed they come into the scope of the appended claims and their le¬ gally entitled equivalents.
