Description:
Selectable 100:1 or 10:1 , Passive Differential Probe Pair
Differential amplifiers are intended to act as signal conditioning preamplifiers for oscilloscopes and network and spectrum analyzers, providing differential measurement capability to instruments having only a single-ended input. The “-PR2” version of each amplifier is a dual channel unit. The DXC series differential input cables are matched to the characteristics of the amplifier.
Full control from oscilloscope through ProBus interface
DC to 100 MHz bandwidth
Outstanding 100,000: 1 Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)
Gain of X1 or X10
Industry-leading overdrive recovery
Low noise
Selectable BW limiting
Two gain control modes when connected to a LeCroy oscilloscope
Built-in Precision Voltage Generator (PVG)
Comparator and true differential offset modes
The DA1855A is a stand-alone, high-performance 100 MHz differential amplifier. It is intended to act as a signal conditioning preamplifier for oscilloscopes, digitizers and spectrum analyzers, providing differential measurement capability to instruments having only a single-ended input. When used with a DA1855A, oscilloscopes can obtain Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) and overdrive recovery performance levels previously unobtainable.
Amplifier gain can be set to 1 or 10. A built-in input attenuator can be separately set to attenuate signals by a factor of 10, providing gains of 10, 1, or 0.1 and common mode dynamic range of 15.5 V (1) or 155 V (10). Optional probes increase the maximum input signal and common mode ranges in proportion to their attenuation ratio but do not exceed their maximum input voltage rating. Effective gain of the DA1855A, including probe attenuation, amplifier gain and attenuator settings, is automatically displayed.
The DA1855A has a bandwidth of 100 MHz, but any one of the three 3-pole bandwidth limit filters can be selected to reduce bandwidth to 20 MHz, 1 MHz or 100 kHz to limit noise above the frequency of interest.
The DA1855A output is carefully limited to 500 mV, so that the oscilloscope is not overdriven by large inputs. This allows many oscilloscopes to directly measure the settling of D/A converters with 14-bit (60 ppm) precision, better than any other differential comparator.
The DA1855A features a built-in Precision Voltage Generator (PVG) that can be set to any voltage between 15.5 V (10 V in Differential Offset) with up to 100 V resolution. The PVGs output can be selected as an input to the inverting (-) input of the amplifier for operation as a differential comparator or applied internally as a true differential offset voltage. The PVG is also available for external use through a rear panel connector.
The DA1855A operates from 90 to 250 VAC line without line switching. High-performance differential probes such as the DXC100 10/100 high CMRR probes are recommended.
Overdrive Recovery
With a 100 probe, the DA1855A settles to within 100 mV referred to input, from a 400 V input signal within 100 ns. With attenuating probes, this allows the in circuit measurement of dynamic saturation in switch mode power converter switching devices.
Comparator Mode
The DA1855A becomes a differential comparator when the internal PVG output is selected as the amplifier’s inverting (-) input. In this mode, the DA1855A can be used to very accurately measure relatively small signals that are riding on large AC or DC components. Due to the precision of the voltage generator, an oscilloscope, when used with the DA1855A, can make voltage measurements that are much more accurate than the oscilloscope is capable of by itself. The output of the PVG is available for external use via a rear panel connector.
True Differential Offset Mode
The DA1855A has built-in Precision Voltage Generator can be used to generate a true differential offset while still allowing both inputs to be used as differential inputs. The offset range can be as high as 50,000 divisions and the generator has 5 1/2 digit resolution. This mode facilitates making measurements such as changes to a transistor’s base to emitter voltage caused by variations in temperature and/or current. Used in this mode, the voltage generator can be set to a value that will zero out the static value of the junction’s on voltage. The DA1855A’s differential measurement capability will reject any dynamic signal common to both sides of the junction, and the oscilloscope is left to measure only the changes in the junction voltage.
Autobalance
Each time either gain setting button is pressed, the DA1855A automatically adjusts the amplifier’s DC balance.
