## Function

Low-noise, low-input-impedance transimpedance preamplifier converting extremely low detector or device currents to voltage with selectable sensitivities from 104 to 10? V/A, DC to ~200 kHz bandwidth, and single-ended virtual-ground input with adjustable negative bias for photodiodes or semiconductor devices. Provides high dynamic range for small AC signals in presence of large DC currents, main and monitor outputs for connection to lock-in amplifiers or measurement instruments, and operates from ±15/±24 V supplies in bench or system environments.
