Amplifier Performance


	Analog Input Channels:		This is the maximum number of analog channel inputs. The single-ended number is specified when single-ended inputs are available as twice the number of differential inputs. Differential channels use the difference between two signals as an input; common mode is filtered out. In some systems, differential inputs are combinations of two single-ended inputs. When this is the case, twice the number of differential channels are available as single-ended inputs.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	Differential Channels		Differential channels have two inputs. The signal to process is the voltage (V) difference between the two inputs. For example, if one reading is 4.93 V and the other reading is 5.16 V, the meaningful value is the 0.23 V difference between the two. Often, this applies to precision measurements where the difference between two low-voltage inputs is small but critical.
	Search Logic:		"Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.

	Gain Range		Gain is the factor by which the input signal is multiplied. Gains are frequently greater than unity, but may be fractional when a reduction (attenuation) of signal amplitude is desired.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Maximum Output		This is the limit of output voltage.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	Common Mode Rejection Ratio:		The ability of an amplifier to obtain the difference between two inputs while rejecting the signal common to both is defined by the common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and the common mode range. The simplest mathematical definition of CMRR is: CMRR = 20 log (differential gain / common mode gain)
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

Amplifier Specifications


	Input Impedance		Impedance (Z) is the resistance to alternating signal flow and is a result of the resistance, capacitance, and the inductance of the circuitry of a device. Input impedance of an amplifier is the equivalent impedance that the signal input sees. Input impedance is typically specified to be much greater than the impedance of a sensor whose signal it is amplifying. Some applications, such as in the power and acoustic fields, require impedance matching of devices.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

Form Factor


	Form Factor
	Your choices are...
	Printed Circuit Board (PCB)		Devices are printed circuit boards (PCBs) that attach to enclosures or plug directly into computer backplanes.
	Panel / Chassis Mount		Devices attach to a panel or bolt onto a chassis.
	Modular Bay / Slot System		Devices stack in modular bays or slots, and can be interfaced to other units.
	Rack Mount		Devices are rack-mounted and fit inside enclosures such as a standard 19 in. telecommunications rack.
	DIN Rail		Devices mount on a standard DIN rail. DIN is an acronym for Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), a German national organization for standardization.
	Stand Alone		Devices are benchtop or floor-standing units with a full casing or cabinet, and an integral interface.
	Other		Other unlisted form factors.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Additional Specifications
