DESCRIPTION
The TA8008 (TA8000) octal timing amplifier comprises a common power supply casing that is populated with a user selectable choice of 8 amplifier modules AM8000.

The pool of available AM8000 fast timing amplifiers conists of 3 basic type families:
- AM81xx  low noise, high bandwidth
- AM82xx  high bandwidth, high gain
- AM83xx  very low loise

Each AM83xx model is also available with a bandwidth limited (BWL) option which further reduces the noise floor.

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 charging of coupling capacitors.
