Now introducing the PA500 Operational Amplifier and PL200 Logarithmic Amplifier
The PL200 DC to 200 Mhz IC includes:
ANADYNE's Fast Ultra Low Noise Preamp; Compatible with many different input topologies for maximum flexibility.
Two More Linear Amplifiers; Integrated amplifiers allow for very low propagation delay and high dynamic range.
Eleven Log and Linear Extension Stages; Many of the stages are tunable making very precise and custom non linear transfers possible.
Direct Summing Junction for Dual LVA Circuits; Two or more PL200’s can be used in combination for even more dynamic range.
Output Amplifier Stage; Our output amplifier can drive 50 ohm cables
Hermetically sealed and thoroughly screened for high reliability applications.

Introducing the PL200 Logarithmic Amplifier and the PA500 Operational Amplifier!
We have simplified our date code for packaged products. Now entire wafers are processed in one production run and parts are marked by wafer and a serial number.
Anadyne, Inc. is currently working with Mathilda Science LLC to promote sales of the PL200 and PA500 in China.
History of the PL200 and L-17D
ANADYNE, INC. was incorporated in Santa Cruz, California, in May, 1986, for the purpose of the design and sale of high-precision analog integrated circuits. ANADYNE is best known for its development of logarithmic video-bandwidth amplifiers (LVAs). The L-17C LVA was introduced to the world market in 1988. This award-winning product became recognized as the world leader in the areas of stability, dynamic range, and low noise, among LVAs in the DC- to 50-MHz bandwidth range. The L-17C has been used in many applications on a global basis for two decades.
In 2006, the L-17C was replaced by a higher-performance LVA, designated the L-17D. Since then additional improvements to the original L-17D have been made, resulting in the currently available version 3 of the L-17D. Because of the current interest in hybrid circuit configurations, the new circuit it available in die form as well, which is designated: L-2010.
In 2024, Anadyne, inc. released the PL200, which is a significantly improved version of the L-17D. This amplifier boasts increased temperature stability for ease of integration into customer projects, higher bandwidth, compact packaging, more adjustability in the gain transfer, and numerous ease of use and quality of life improvements.
