9309-4 Quad Fast Amplifier

ORTEC 9309-4 Quad Fast Amplifier
  • Rise Time <1.5-ns (for unipolar ≤±25 mV inputs).
  • DC Coupled to allow high counting rates.
  • 0 to 10 Adjustable Gain to provide flexible gain requirements.
  • Two Outputs for each Amplifier allows simultaneous counting and timing.
Often various fast detection devices have different signal amplitudes that need to be amplified to be counted or time discriminated. The 9309-4 solves this problem with four channels of variable gain amplification up to a gain of 10. Two channels can be cascaded for a gain of up to 100 should your experiment require it. An offset adjustment and DC coupling allow for higher counting rates and less baseline distortion encountered with AC coupled amplifiers. This four channel fast amplifier is ideal for experiments using photomultiplier tubes, electron multipliers, microchannel plates, or photodiodes. Dual outputs from each channel reduce the need for an additional fan-out for counting and timing applications.
