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.


More 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.
