C2719
Current-to-voltage conversion amplifier for amplifying weak photocurrent with low noise
C2719 is a current-to-voltage conversion amplifier used to amplify weak photocurrent from a photodiode with very low noise. Three ranges of
photocurrent detection sensitivity level (H, M, L) are selectable to match the input signal. A 10-turn potentiometer is used to zero the amplifier
level so fine adjustments are possible with high resolution.
C2719 operates on the built-in dry batteries so it can be easily used anywhere. An external power input connector is also provided at the rear
panel for a long, continuous operation or for use as part of a measurement system. In such applications, use the dedicated plug to connect to a
stabilized DC power supply.
C2719 was developed specifically for use with Si photodiodes, but it can be used to detect photocurrent from phototubes.
