DESCRIPTION
The ENDEVCO
®
Model 2680M14-XXX
Series Charge Amplifier is designed for use with
piezoelectric transducers and is suitable for air-
borne applications. Hybrid micro-circuits
construction results in small size, ruggedness and
low power consumption. The unit is a charge
amplifier; that is, it has an output voltage
proportional to the charge at the input. As a
result, the amplifier sensitivity is not appreciably
affected by the capacitance of the input cable.
This unit has two outputs, an unbiased, low gain
output with a gain range of 1-10 mV/pC, and
an unbiased high gain output with a gain range
of 10-100 mV/pC. Both outputs are adjustable
with a common gain control.
The -XXX describes the upper cutoff frequency
(-5% point) per Table 1. For example, a -101 has
a low pass filter which is flat up to 100 Hz, a -502
has a low pass filter which is flat up to 5000 Hz.
