The PCG-380F-R is a transimpedance amplifier that offers programmable gain or current sensitivity and remote control capabilities. It is specifically designed to eliminate digital clock-induced noise, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high-sensitivity and low noise capabilities.
 
One advantage of the PCG-380F-R is its remote control capabilities. With this feature, users can operate the amplifier from outside of an EMI shielding room or separate measurement room. This is especially useful in research and testing environments where the equipment needs to be isolated from electromagnetic interference to prevent unwanted noise and signal distortion.
 
Additionally, the PCG-380F-R is designed to offer exceptional performance with programmable sensitivity control. It can provide fast and low-noise measurements, making it suitable for applications such as optical measurements, spectroscopy, transport, and other sensitive scientific experiments.
 
Overall, the PCG-380F-R is an exceptional solution for those seeking a programmable gain transimpedance amplifier that offers remote control capabilities. Its exceptional performance, combined with its programmable sensitivity control, make it ideal for use in research and testing environments where precision measurements are critical.
​
R2 version can control the gain by using only two 5V digital input lines. The gain switching is made after breaking switch contacts, and this may suit for scanning tunneling microscope research where the gain change must be done after tip retraction for atomic manipulation and setpoint change.
​
R4 version controls the gain by four 5V digital input lines. Unlike R2, the make-before-break mechanism is implemented for the gain switching and it is critically useful for electrostatic sensitive nano-device research.
