The basis of the CA/100 is a thick film hybrid
microcircuit of similar complexity to our
CA/04 charge amplifier, housed in a 24 pin
hermetic dip. This is packaged, together with gain
controls and connectors, into a machined
aluminium block, the whole constituting an
extremely robust product capable of sustained
operation under conditions of high vibration,
mechanical shock, and temperature extremes.
The CA/100, by virtue of its 60dB, 1mV/pC
- 1V/pC, gain adjustment range, is an extremely
flexible interface for trials type applications,
allowing quite large compensatory on-line
adjustment for the signal level uncertainties that
may arise in this type of application. Installation
should allow access to gain controls !
