The Amptek A250CF CoolFET Charge Sensitive Preamplifier is the lowest noise, general purpose, preamplifier available. It is designed to give the ultimate performance when used with either low or high detector capacitance detectors and is a direct replacement for other higher noise charge sensitive preamplifiers. The A250CF Cool FET technology uses a Peltier cooler to keep the input FET(s) at –50OC. Cooling is totally transparent to the user. Hence, the A250CF Cool FET operates like a room
temperature preamplifier. Based on the successful A250 preamp designed for high performance satellite instrumentation, the A250CF Cool FET re-defines the new state-of-the-art. Power to the A250CF Cool FET is provided by an external stable power supply (included). Detector bias can be applied via an SHV connector. Input, E-Output, T-Output and Test are provided
via BNC connectors.
