PIP series

PIP is a series of programmable “smart” preamplifiers. Due to the modern

internal configuration, it offers extreme flexibility combined with superior

signal parameters and high reliability. Built-in voltage monitor allows to check

and optimize the working conditions (supply voltages, detector bias voltage,

first and last stage output voltage offset etc.).

There is also possible to change the gain, coupling (AC/DC), optimize the first

stage transimpedance and manually or automatically suppress the voltage

offset.

Optimized parameters are stored into the internal EEPROM memory and

automatically loaded after the power is on. Reset to default settings is

available at any time. For detection module safety detector bias adjusting is

blocked by default. User can request to enable this option while ordering.

For proper operation PTCC-01 TEC controller is required.
