With a typical power consumption of 225 mW, the standalone Sample Hold Amplifier (SHM-50) is designed to provide accurate capture and hold of fast signals and pulses in a range of analog signal processing applications. For example, the device is well suited for use in high-speed, multi-channel, multiple-event equipment. The SHM-50 offers a small-signal bandwidth of 70 MHz and is available in a through-hole or surface-mount 8-pin mini-DIP package. A complete sample-hold circuit, the unit touts a precision MOS hold capacitor and a MOSFET switching configuration. These features work to ensure rapid switching and a feed-through attenuation of 78 dB. The SHM-50 also includes a TTL interface. Thanks to its FET input amplifier design, the device allows an acquisition time of 40 nanoseconds for a 2 V step to ۪.01 percent accuracy and 50 nanoseconds to ۪.005 percent — equivalent to 14-bit accuracy. The unit achieves sample-to-hold settling times of typically 30 nanoseconds to ۪.01 percent, while maintaining a low droop rate and an aperture uncertainty of ۬ picoseconds. The SHM-50 requires a supply voltage of ۯ V. Operating temperature for the through-hole version is 0° to +70°C. Operating temperature for the SHM-50MM is -55° to +125°C. Pricing is $87 per unit. In quantities of 100, the device is priced at approximately $65.
