Description: The C30950EH is a Silicon Avalanche Photodiode (Si APD) Amplifier Module with 50 MHz bandwidth and includes our C30817 silicon avalanche photodiode (APD). With a useful diameter of 0.8 mm ...

One of the most popular articles we have ever run detailed Jeremy Sikora’s experience with his prized Quad 303/33 power amplifier/pre-amplifier combination. Tens of thousands of readers made it clear ...

In order to help his friend prepare for a talk at DEFCON this weekend, [Craig] built an IR photodiode amplifier circuit. The circuit extended the detection range of the hack from a few inches to ...

The first step in setting up a feedback loop is to know the position of the pencil at any given time. To accomplish this we used a combination of two lasers and photodiodes. A laser with a very large ...

A G-M tube is not the only game in town though, and even the humble photodiode can be pressed into service. [Robert] gives us a good example, with a self-contained radiation detector head that ...

I am particularly interested in using avalanche photodiodes (APDs) to detect the very weak light. This semiconductor device senses light and gives electrical current that varies with the light ...

McIntosh Laboratory, Inc., possibly one of the oldest and most venerable names in U.S. hi-fi has announced the launch of its latest preamplifiers in the form of the C55 Solid State Preamplifier ...

This family of PIN photodiodes, from OSRAM Opto Semiconductor, are in DIL plastic packages. The BPW 34 family offer enhanced blue sensitivity from a radiant sensitive ...

An electronic circuit that amplifies and equalizes the analog output of the cartridge in a phonograph turntable. The output is boosted to a level equivalent to other audio sources such as tapes ...

British hi-fi brand Quad has revealed reimagined versions of two of its most beloved separates: the 33 preamplifier and the 303 stereo amplifier. Designed to work in tandem or independently from each ...
