DESCRIPTION
The DA18000AC Differential Amplifier is a very high bandwidth differential amplifier with
50 Ω inputs and high common mode rejection, and is designed to be used exclusively with
the SDA 18000 Serial Data Analyzer.
The amplifier contains common circuitry such as power supply, communication and control
and AutoColor ID. The DA18000AC amplifier utilizes digital filtering to improve the system
frequency response. The response is corrected through the use of digital filters which are
specifically tailored through calibration to optimize the frequency flatness of the amplifier.
This provides the highest fidelity in eye pattern measurements.
Certificate of Calibration is supplied with each amplifier indicating that the system will meet
the specifications with those components listed in the Certificate.
ESD Sensitive: The inputs of the DA18000AC amplifier are sensitive to
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). To avoid causing damage to the ampli-
fier, always follow anti-static procedures (wear wrist strap, etc.) when
using or handling the type K connectors.
CAUTION
APPLICATIONS
The DA18000AC amplifier is ideally suited for acquiring differential signals common in high
speed serial data applications with fine pitch ICs and high lead count where high speed,
minimal loading and accurate jitter measurement are required.
