Low Impedance Amplifier for B-dot Probe construction

To whom this may concern;

I am writing to inquire what type of TI amplifier (including part number) I should purchase for the construction of a B-dot probe. The literature article I am reading calls for "A high-frequency custom built differential amplifier".

My professor further instructed me to obtain an amplifier of low impedance, as the output impedance of our signal generator that runs a current through Helmholtz coils to generate our calibration fields is 50 Ohms.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • Hi,

    I don't know too much about B-dot probes so can you clarify what bandwidth and frequency of operation you are looking for?
    The following is TI's parametric search that includes all our high speed, fully differential amplfiers. There are only 34 parts listed but as soon as you can narrow down your bandwidth, power and timing requirements you can pick one of these amplifiers.

    As for your low impedance, what you need to do is pick proper input and feedback resistors to give you the input 50 Ohm resistance.

    Thanks!
