Programmable, transimpedance amplifierPIP series
PIP is a series of programmable, transimpedance amplifiers. Due to the modern internal configuration, they offers extreme flexibility combined with superior signal parameters and high reliability. Built-in voltage monitor allows to check and optimize the working conditions (supply voltages, detector bias voltage, first and last stage output voltage offset etc.).
