The Anadyne, Inc. family of amplifier IC’s is growing!

Introducing Anadyne, Inc.’s 3rd generation products: The PL200 Logarithmic amplifier and the PA500 operational amplifier.

The PL200 features:

  • 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.

  • 200 Mhz bandwidth/4ns risetime for over 60 dB of 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.

  • Extreme DC temperature stability over large temperature ranges, easily tuned to less than 1 dB drift from -55C to +95C.

  • Hermetically sealed and thoroughly screened for high reliability applications.

The PA500 features:

  • Based on ANADYNE's Fast Ultra Low Noise Preamp

  • Dual operational amplifiers with excellent channel isolation and precision high speed performance.

  • 2 ns rise time, optimized for gain magnitude greater than 2

  • precision, temperature stable, programmable output voltage clamps

  • Hermetically sealed and thoroughly screened for high reliability applications.

The award winning L-17D is still in production.
