Programmable gain amplifiers with 16, 32, and 64 input channels are available under the name PGA16, PGA32, and PGA64, respectively.
The gain can be flexibly adjusted from 10 to 5000 with the program
PGA-Control.
Amplifiers can be ordered with any bandwidth configurations by the user's choice. The name specifies the configuration. The first number after the channel number specifies the lowest frequency, followed by the
highest frequency. For example, PGA16-300-3000 stands for a PGA with 16 channels, and 300 Hz to 3 kHz bandwidth.
The PGA1632 and the PGA3264 feature two different pass bands. Signals are split and the two pass bands are send to two separate channels. For 16 input and 32 output channels, or 32 input and 64 output channels,
respectively.
