Abstract :
The paper presents an improved flexible method to control a vaporizer filament using a digitally controlled switch mode power supply. The vaporizer is used in portable plasma equipment for heavy metals detection. The temperature profile needed for the probe vaporization can be set using the proposed digitally controlled converter through a PC interface.
