mesytec MDU-16 is a 16-channel low noise differential to unipolar converter with variable gain from 1/8 to 12. It provides terminated inputs and outputs. The bandwidth is optimised for charge sensitive preamplifiers. It is ideally suited to convert MPR-16 differential outputs after a long transmission line to Lemo unipolar signals.
Features
- 16 channel inputs, 110 Ohm terminated
- 34 pin input connector
- 16 Lemo outputs, 50 Ohm terminated
- Input range +/- 5 V
- Output range: +/- 10 V, (+/- 5 V terminated
- Adjustable gain from 1/8 to 12 in steps of factor 1.5
- Ground connector at front panel, to connect shield of shielded twisted pair, or to provide additional ground to the preamp
- input noise (measured with 2 us shaping time of an external shaper):
