PROTOTYPE STAGE !
This module can be used as a voltage amplifier with additional functionality. It is possible to [zoom] in on a selected part of the signal to increase resolution. The [compare] mode can be used to detect (switching) events.
For both [compare] and [zoom] the potmeter sets the reference point, optionally an internal jumper can be set to provide this reference value external (e.g. a DAC).
Apart from the normal output,the module has an [opto-out] for an analog fibre link. The fibre-link has poor dc-specs but has a higher bandwidth (specs tbd) and it can also be used in the comparator mode as a trigger output.
specs:
Input noise voltage: 7nV/sqrtHz
Input noise current: 0.5fA/sqrtHz
Input bias current : <2pA
Bandwidth : 2MHz..100kHz (gain=1..10k)
Drift : <1uV/c
