Description
The CS3301A is a low-noise differential input, dif-
ferential output amplifier with programmable gain,
optimized for amplifying signals from low-imped-
ance sensors such as geophones. The gain
settings are binary weighted (x1, x2, x4, x8, x16,
x32, x64) and are selected using simple pin set-
tings. Two sets of external inputs, INA and INB,
simplify system design as inputs from a sensor and
test DAC. An internal 800 Ω termination can also be
selected for noise tests.
Amplifier noise performance is outstanding with a
noise density of 8.5 over the 0.1 Hz to
2 kHz bandwidth. Distortion performance is also ex-
tremely good, typically -121 dB THD at x1 gain. Flat
noise down to 0.1 Hz and low total harmonic distor-
tion make this amplifier ideal for low-frequency,
low-amplitude, differential signals requiring maxi-
mum dynamic range.
