Products/ Electronic Components/ Boards/ Preamplifiers

The signals generated by detector arrays are normally very weak. Therefore, the first amplification stage should be done as close to the array as possible. In addition, the array needs a mechanical mount and an electronic interface. All these functions are provided by a special preamplifier board, which oes a lot more that just pre-amplify the generated signal. Additional functions like digital signal conditioning or power supply support tasks can be located on the preamplifier board as well.

Since there are many different types of detector arrays on the market, it is necessary to match the preamplifier to the electronic interface. Please see Basics & Configurator/ Electronics/ Detector arrays for an overview of supported arrays.
The output from a preamplifier is the signal for the Front End Electronics. A major advantage of separating the digital functions of the FEE from the pre-amplification stage is the prevention of interference between digital signals and the weak analog ones.
