The Stanford Research SR445 is a four-channel DC-coupled voltage preamplifier engineered for high-speed, low-level signal amplification from DC to 350 MHz. Each channel delivers a fixed gain of 5 V/V with the ability to cascade multiple channels for higher gains up to 625 V/V using four SR445 units. The preamplifier achieves exceptional input noise performance at 2.8 nV/√Hz and maintains <50 µVrms noise referenced to input across its full bandwidth.
