MAZeT Unveils MTI08 8-channel Transimpedance Amplifier for Sensors
MAZeT GmbH is introducing a new 8-channel transimpedance amplifier for sensors that output currents. Each channel has eight amplification stages that can be individually set between 200 kOhm and 25.6 MOhm. The lowest photo current is 20 nA at a signal frequency of 19 kHz. The MTI08 provides an MUX after the output, a power-down mode and operates at a voltage of 3…5 V. The amplifier provides excellent channel synchronicity, high linearity as soon as low noise and can be supplied as a die or in a compact SSOP20 for sensor arrays/rows.
