Model TA2400 Fast Pulse/Timing Preamplifier



FEATURES
Small signal bandwidth DC ... 2400MHz
Voltage gain 14dB (x5)
DC coupling
Closed loop OP-Amp design
Low noise
High output drive
Single supply operation / internally generated bipolar supply / internal supply regulation

APPLICATIONS
Pre-amp for ultra fast detectors (MCP, PMT, ...)
Oscilloscope and transient recorder pre-amp
Photon-/Ion- counting
Wideband signal processing

DESCRIPTION
The TA2400 is a fast pulse preamplifier with a small signal bandwidth of 2.4GHz. A unique feature for such high speed amplifiers is the DC coupling. DC coupling avoids count rate effects due to non DC balanced pulse trains and the corresponding coupling capacitor charging.
