ELECTROMETER_AMPLIFIER_WITH_OVERLOAD_PROTECTION

Published:2009/7/1 4:22:00 Author:May | From:SeekIC

The preamplifier is protected from excessive input signals of either polarity by the 2N5909 junction field-effect transistor. A nulling circuit makes it possible to set the preamplifier output voltage to zero at a ftxed low level (up to ±10-8A) of the input current. (This level is called the standing current and corresponds to the zero-signal level of the instrumentation.) The opposing (offset) current is generated in the 109 feedback resistor to buck the standing current. Different current ranges are reached by feeding the preamplifter output to low and high gain amplifter chains. To reduce noise, each chain includes a 1.5 Hz corner active filter.
