IFPA300, IFPA301
Monolithic JFET Preamplifier
Description & Features
The IFPA300 series is an inverting transimpedance
amplifier featuring extremely low noise and a wide
gain-bandwidth suitable as a charge-sensitive pre-
amplifier for a broad range of applications.
The monolithic IFPA300 series contain 8 n-channel
epitaxial-channel diffused-gate JFETs to achieve
optimally low 1/f noise performance over a wide
temperature range (120K-300K).

At this time, there are two units in this family.
The 300/301 Series gives more flexibility with respect
to output transistor drain.
The 310/311 Series ties the output transistor drain to
the V
