The task for the amplifier is to provide a high-voltage asymmetric sawtooth-like signal and feed it into a capacitive load. Generation of excessive heat must be avoided while maximizing the slew rate. In order to guarantee a steady translation, the hysteretic behaviour of the piezoelectric material must be compensated. Combination of a charge control scheme with switching is proposed as an efficient solution. Laboratory experiments confirm the superiority of this tailored solution over other existing techniques based on versatile linear voltage amplifiers.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Mechatronics&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
