hpSPM Controller

State of the art FPGA based controller for Scanning Probe Microscopes

The control electronics can operate a scanning probe microscope in STM and AFM modes. The electronics unit is housed in a 3U-high case frame and can accommodate 13 220x100 mm size 30 mm wide Eurocard modules.

The modules are connected via a low-noise bus at the backplane.

The electronics are based on state-of-the-art FPGA-based DSP technology and connected to the PC with a fast 480 Mbps USB 2.0 interface.

composed of a power supply, digital feedback controller, 24-bit scan DACs, 24-bit A/D card, 8-channel 24-bit DAC, 3-channel HV amps, motorised stage drivers, and 8-channel 24-bit spare AD cards.

The user can access all signals to and from the SPM controller.

The Electronics unit includes all the necessary cables.

A unique and flexible software written in C# running under 64bit Windows 10 with SPM Control Electronics that provides various scientific solutions for all kinds of SPM users.
