Stanford SR560 Preamplifyer

Low-noise voltage preamplifier (Distributed only in Germany.)

Specifications in Brief

Input
InputsAC or DC coupled, single-ended or differential
Input impedance100 MΩ + 25 pF
Maximum input3 Vpp
CMRR100 dB from DC to 1 kHz (decreases by 6 dB/octave from 1 kHz to 1 MHz)
Noise4 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz
Gain1 to 50,000 in 1-2-5 sequence. Vernier gain in 0.5 % steps.
Gain stability200 ppm/°C
Frequency response±0.5 dB to 1 MHz, ±0.3 dB to 300 kHz (gains up to 1000)
Filters
Signal filters2 configurable (low-pass or high-pass) 6 dB/oct rolloff filters. -3 dB points are settable in a 1-3-10 sequence from 0.03 Hz to 1 MHz.
Gain allocationHigh Dynamic Reserve — Gain is increased after the signal filters to prevent overloading.
Low Noise — Gain is increased before the filters to improve noise figure.
Output
Maximum output10 Vpp into 50 Ω and 600 Ω
Filter resetLong time constant filters may be reset with front-panel button.
DC drift5 µV/°C referred to input (DC coupled)
Distortion0.01 % at 1 kHz
Rear panel±12 VDC @ 200 mA referenced to amplifier ground
