Mesytec MHV-4 is a modern 4-channel high precision bias supply unit for detector bias voltages up to 800 V. It is designed to supply highly stable bias voltage for all types of silicon and gas detectors. The output current is limited to 20 uA. The new revision allows easy operation of large area avalanche diodes, by compensating the bias voltage with temperature. Temperature measurement can be performed with miniaturized NTC temperature sensors. The four temperatures are also available via USB or mesytec control bus.

Features
