DA1855A Differential Amplifier
10 922258-00 Rev A
Model Description
The DA1855A series is comprised of 2 models which differ in physical configuration. Both contain
the same 100 MHz differential amplifier which provides high common mode rejection, extremely
fast overdrive recovery, selectable ÷1 or ÷10 attenuation, selectable X1 or X10 gain, a 5-1/2 digit
Precision Voltage Generator (PVG), selectable upper bandwidth limiting filters, and effective gain
display. and ± 500 mV output swing limiting. The PVG is provides a calibrated reference for
Differential Offset or Comparison modes. The PVG reference voltage is also available through a BNC
connector on the rear panel.
DA1855A : Single channel unit packaged in a convenient desk top housing.
DA1855A-PR2: Two independent model DA1855A amplifiers packaged in one housing with one
