HIGH SPEED AMPLIFIER FOR PHOTOMULTIPLIER TUBES C5594 SERIES Gain: 36 dB (Voltage Gain of 63) Frequency Bandwidth: 50 k to 1.5 GHz The C5594 is designed as the most suitable amplifier unit for photomultiplier tubes and a non-inverting type amplifier. This unit has high gain of 36 dB (voltage amplification of 63) and wide frequency bandwidth of 50 kHz to 1.5 GHz, which can accurately amplitude the PMT pulse output. Therefore it is well-matched to the application of Time Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCPC) for fluorescence life time measurement with MCP-PMT and various time response measurements with PMTs. It is possible to be operated at the applied voltage range of +12 to +16 volts. The input and output connectors can be chosen by the combination of SMA and/or BNC.
