DLPCA-200: The Ultimate Low-Noise Current Amplifier
Packed with features the DLPCA-200 Variable-Gain Transimpedance
Amplifier is designed for a wide range of applications that require the
conversion of small currents into usable voltages. It is ideally suited,
for example, for DC measurements, time resolved measurements down to the
µs-region and as the preamplifier for photodiodes or lock-in systems.
The DLPCA-200 offers virtually all of the features that can be expected
from a high-end current amplifier including selectable transimpedance
gain from 103 to 1011 V/A,
switchable AC/DC-coupling, adjustable bias-voltage and offset,
switchable 10 Hz lowpass filter and the capability of manual and opto-isolated
remote control. All this in a rugged, compact EMI-shielded case,
designed with the user in mind and built to guarantee trouble-free
operation even in very rough and noisy environments.
Bandwidth and Frequency Response independent of Source
Capacitance
Unlike similar amplifiers available the DLPCA-200 requires no
particular adaptation, such as frequency compensation for different
sources. In addition, it provides maximum speed even in high gain
settings. At the highest gain setting of 1011 V/A it provides
a 3 dB-bandwidth of 1.2 kHz and a 300 µs rise time. For those
applications not requiring the full bandwidth, the unit has a switchable
10 Hz lowpass filter to eliminate wideband noise and thus allowing
accurate and ultra low-noise DC current measurements down to
femtoAmperes.
Applications for DLPCA-200 Current Amplifier
Photodiode and Photomultiplier Amplifier
Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM)
Spectroscopy
Charge Amplifier
Ionization Detectors
Preamplifier for Lock-Ins, A/D-Converters etc.
| The LUCI-10
amplifier interface allows remote control of FEMTO
amplifiers and photoreceivers with a remote control capability
from a standard Windows PC with USB port. |
