AI 401, x10, Low-Noise Differential Amplifier
This amplifier provides low noise, high input impedance, a good common-mode rejection ratio, and
low drift. The rms noise of 0.7 µV in the DC-10 kHz bandwidth is equivalent to the thermal noise of
a 5 kΩ resistor. The AI 401 probe is applicable to a broad range of physiological and other
measurement tasks, such as:
EMG, ECG, EEG, EOG
Extracellular microelectrodes
Surface potentials
Electronic circuit testing
pH and ion-concentration measurement
The gain of x10 is large enough to eliminate the noise contribution of succeeding stages in the
amplifier pathway, yet sufficiently small to enable a differential input voltage of ±1 V to be measured
without saturation. Field-effect transistor (FET) inputs assure low input leakage currents and high
input impedance so that the test circuit or electrodes are not loaded.
AI 402, x50, Ultra-Low-Noise Differential Amplifier
This amplifier probe provides the ultimate in low-noise amplification. Using discrete transistor
circuitry this probe achieves noise of less than 0.18 µV
rms
(1.1 µV
p-p
) in the DC-10 kHz bandwidth,
equivalent to the thermal noise of a 250 Ω resistor. Also, the input impedance is high, the bias current
is low and the common-mode rejection ratio is excellent. The temperature dependent drift, however,
is inferior to that of our other amplifier probes.

Nerve cuff recording
The gain of x50 is large enough to eliminate the noise contribution of succeeding stages in the
amplifier pathway, and enables a differential input voltage of ±200 mV to be measured without
saturation. Field-effect transistor (FET) inputs assure low input leakage currents and high input
impedance so that the test circuit or electrodes are not loaded.
AI 403 Picoamp Current-to-Voltage Converter
This current-to-voltage converter is suitable for any application that requires a picoammeter with both
low noise and wide bandwidth. The wide bandwidth of the AI 403 is unique in picoammetry. In
other picoammeters, the stray capacitance around the internal measurement resistor (10 GΩ) typically
limits the bandwidth to a few tens of Hertz. In the AI 403, special frequency compensation circuitry
compensates the inherently poor frequency response of the feedback resistor. The compensation is
achieved without adding noise, producing a bandwidth of 20 kHz. Sophisticated, discrete, field-effect
transistor input circuitry is used to obtain the ultimate in low-noise current measurement.
