Mark I & Mark II Power Supply

Overview

The Intlvac Gridless Ion Source Power Supply is an advanced digital power and control platform built with modern switching power technology and integrated system control. It provides precise discharge and emission regulation while maintaining low stored energy and high operational stability, and offers rapid response, intelligent system automation, and integrated gas flow control. The controller is reverse compatible with earlier Mark I and Mark II platforms. Technical specifications include: - Filament Version — Products: Mark I and Mark II; Filament: 7A emission current; Discharge: 1A or 5A & 170V DC; Autocontroller: System Control; Gas Control: Gas Control - 4 MFCs; Open or closed gas loop control; Automatic Start/Stop Sequence; Remote Interface: Isolated analog & RS-232; Interchangable: Mark I & Mark II reverse compatible; Size: 19” rack mount, 3U (13.3cm). - Hollow Cathode Version — Products: Mark I, Mark II, Mark II HO, Mark III; Filament: 10 A emission current; Discharge: 10A or 5A & 300V DC; Autocontroller: "Autopilot" System Control; Gas Control: Gas Control - 4 MFCs; Open or closed gas loop control; Automatic Start/Stop Sequence; Remote Interface: Isolated analog & RS-232; Interchangable: Mark I & Mark II reverse compatible; Size: 19” rack mount, 3U (13.3cm). The power supply is engineered to deliver stable, efficient, and reliable operation for End-Hall ion sources. It is designed for demanding thin film process environments and supports precision coating, research flexibility, and industrial reliability in Intlvac Thin Film systems. The controller platform is intended to help reduce downtime, simplify upgrades, and ensure consistent thin film processing across research and production platforms.
