This is an optimization of my suggested change!!! :clap: :clap: Respect! (I had removed it because, afterwards, I thought it was something irrelevant... ) |

--- Quote from: 16bitanalogue on April 10, 2020, 12:05:00 am ---Hello All, I am not sure if this is the best place to start a discussion about PicoTest Line Injectors. They are useful tools, but tend to be on the expensive side. I wanted to upload what I have to be archived, and for those who wish to design their own or at least are interested in such topics. I hope this helps someone, somewhere. Picotest J2120A Line Injector Price: $525 BOM: (4) Capacitors * C1||C2 = 35.7uF * C3||C4 = 1.98uF(1) Resistor * 10k(1) nMOS * AOT2618 from Alpha and Omega Semiconductor, http://www.aosmd.com/res/data_sheets/AOT2618L.pdf J2120A front and rear pics attached. Picotest J2130A DC Bias Injector Price: $525 BOM: (24) Capacitors * Parallel, Series network = 27uF(1) Resistor * 10kI do believe the equivalent network of the 24 caps is 27uF, I may wish to double check when I get a chance. J2130A front and rear pics attached. Ridley Injector Isolator Transformer No specifications really. The manufacturer looks to be Avel Lingberg. Model CA8518. I hope this comes out clean, first time poster. Hell of a time with the pics. *EDIT* Added front picture of the J2120A. --- End quote --- Another nice one would be the "2180A" preamplifier to up the sensitivity of 8bit scopes. I wonder how they have done it in such a small package. |

Could somebody explain what R1, R2, and C1 are being used for? R2/C1 look like some sort of high frequency roll-off, but at a surprisingly high frequency. Thanks! --- Quote from: Jay_Diddy_B on April 12, 2020, 10:58:48 am --- LTspice model J2111A --- End quote --- |

Its more or less an output damper. Whats also interesting is that the circuit has a dead zone around 0V. Even if the current monitor output will be OK, the sunk current is not. The manual did not show this until a few months ago. https://electronicprojectsforfun.wordpress.com/measuring-a-picotest-j2111a-current-injector/ |

Thanks for the quick answer. I'm simulating a simplified circuit (no diodes, just sink from positive rail, different op amp (OPA358)) to understand the circuit and trade-offs. However, I get peaking without C2, and with C2 I get a roll-off starting around 1MHz. I guess I need to pick a different op amp? |
