Notes |
| Package |
10mm x 10mm |
36-pin flat-pack (same package as L-17C); The L-17D die is 80 x 120 mils (2 x 3 mm) |
Rise Time/Bandwidth
inputs 40µV to 150µV
for inputs > 150µV |
<10ns/ 40 MHz
< 6ns/ 60 MHz |
Depends on board layout. The useable L-17C Bandwidth was about 20 MHz, full scale.
|
| Noise (voltage/current) |
1.2 nV/Hz1/2 / 1.0 pA/Hz1/2 |
@25°C; (L-17C voltage noise is ~1.5 nV/Hz1/2) |
| Pulse Recovery Time |
< 150ns |
Does not include any detector contribution. Can be shortened with recovery nets. Has been tuned to <50ns at 0dbm with a tunnel diode. |
| Dynamic Range |
> 90 dBV |
Using a tunnel diode detector. Using a Schottky detector, a 60dBm range has been achieved. |
| Log Linearity |
< ±0.3 dB |
Over the full dynamic range |
| Temperature Drift |
< ±0.5 dB (after trimming) |
From -55°C to +85°C and higher |
| Transit Time |
< 9 ns |
Measured through the entire LVA, between the 50% points of the input and output; the spread is adjustable to <2 ns over the dynamic range. |
| Pulse-to-CW Variation |
< 0.2 dB |
A change in pulse duration from 10 ns to 1 ms (at high duty-cycle) does not affect pulse height. |
| LVA Power |
Rail voltages ± 5V to ± 9V |
Special regulation or dual-tracking not required.
Quiescent power draw is ~ 375 mW at ± 6V.
Currents at ± 6V are 31mA from the positive supply and 32 mA from the negative supply. |
| Output Offset |
Adjustable |
Maximum output voltage is +5V (rails at ±9V). Will drive a 50 Ω cable for outputs up to 4 V. |
| Output Slope |
Adjustable |
| Output Load |
≥50 ohms |
