Description
The LS-100 Lab Standard uses the GSAF-10
Gold Series of precision analog anti-aliasing filters to provide a complete
system solution for precise measurement applications. The LS-100 is
the first ready-to-run filter system designed specifically for 18-bit
applications in a laboratory environment. With excellent specifications
on common-mode rejection, filter shape accuracy, gain accuracy, and
DC offset, the LS-100 reaches previously unobtained performance levels.
The combined total of all standard performance-degradation
sources -- offset initial, offset drift, gain initial, gain drift, temperature
and aging -- equate to less than 2 LSB of a 16-bit system. Total harmonic
distortion with a 1 kHz 20Vpp input signal is an outstanding 0.002%.
The LS-100 comes in a portable format (shown in the picture above)
which only holds 10 channels, the LS-101 comes in a 19 inch rack mount
format, which holds 21 channels.

on the GSAF-10 Modules
A feedback topology at the output stage
provides for a 10 m ohm output impedance, making the GSAF-10 capable
of driving any A/D converter input stage without further buffering.
Pre-installed offset trimming and
output-gain scaling potentiometers permit nulling of offset and gain
for expansion of dynamic range for maximum resolution.
