1.1 Features Features The “CA5360 LOW NOISE PREAMPLIFIER” is a low noise preamplifier for a lock-in amplifier and a frequency response analyzer. Low Noise Input referred noise voltage is low with 5 nV/ Hz below. It's most suitable for measurement of the very small voltage.
FETs to low impedance. The signal is supplied to a low noise differential amplifier, amplified by 100 times, and output from the output connector in the rear. 1.2.2 Block Diagram The following shows a schematic block diagram of the CA5360 and describes the main function. Figure 1-1 Block Diagram a) Input Section The input section has following functions.

When needing 5 V output, the load resistance must be 2 kΩ or more. When load resistance is less than 2 kΩ, the prescriptive output voltage isn't obtained. Warm up time To ensure correct measurement, warm up the equipment for at least 30 minutes before use. CA5360...
NF Corporation would repair the equipment. This manual describes basic operation inspecting and performance testing procedures. For advanced inspection, adjustment, calibration and fault repair, contact NF Corporation or our agent. Daily Maintenance When the panel or case needs cleaning, wipe with a soft cloth.
Performance Test Performance test is conducted as part of preventative maintenance to prevent performance deterioration of the CA5360. A performance test is conducted when necessary to verify performance during acceptance inspection, periodic inspection and after repair. If the result of a performance test does not meet the specifications, calibration or repair is required.
