Preamplifier
ZOLIX offers a variety of low noise, high gain amplifier to working with the single channel detectors. The amplifier is mainly used to convert detector output signals, and amplify the signals. Then the signals are inputted to other measurement equipments, such as Data Acquire System, oscilloscopes, DMM, to achieve weak signal measurement.

■ Application Note.
Current Mode Preamplifiers
The transimpedance (or current-mode preamplifier circuit of Fig. 1 is recommended for most PV detector applications, for frequencies up to 1 MHz. It offers lowest noise and best linearity
under a wide range of conditions. The characteristics of the op-amp circuit maintain the diode near 0V bias. All the photocurrent from the detector essentially flows through the feedback resistor RF.
The feedback capacitance CF is added to control gain peaking (Fig. 2). The value of CF depends on the detector capacitance. It is installed at the factory to provide stable preamplifier performance with a particular detector model.
