Fast Amplifier / Discriminator Model 7011

FEATURES

• 200 MHz Amplifier/Discriminator
• DC-coupling (Composite Amplifier)
• Fast NIM-, shaped and TTL output
• DC adjustment

APPLICATIONS

• Ultra high countrate Single Photon Counting
• LIDAR
• Mass-Spectrometry
• other general purpose use

DESCRIPTION

The 7011 Amplifier/Discriminator combines a fixed gain inverting Amp with a leading edge discriminator. Both functions can be used independently.

The input polarity of the discriminator has to be set to match the polarity of the input signal. Three types of output signals are available:

FAST-NIM output > 200 MHz,

a shaped negative output > 90 MHz

and a positive TTL output > 50 MHz.
