INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION SECTION 1

INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION

The 4040B is a single channel, differential input amplifier capable of high gain and equally high

attenuation values with a bandwidth from DC to 100 MHz. The Model 4040B instrumentation

amplifier is capable of operating with gains of: x1, x10, and x100 in conjunction with attenuation by

factors of: ÷1, ÷10, and ÷100. These levels of gain and attenuation may be used in combination to

condition a differential input signal so that it matches the needed input of a low-level device such as

a digitizer or oscilloscope. There is a more in depth explanation contained in the specification section.

In addition, the 4040B provides programmable offset, anti-aliasing filters, input impedance and input

coupling. Figure 1.1 is a block diagram of the 4040B. The 4040B has been specifically designed to

take two signals and make a valid differential measurement by inverting one of the signals and

adding the difference, this allows the user to measure signals not referenced to local ground without

compromising safety.

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS The multiple gain and attenuation settings of the 4040B interact to affect the performance in terms of

bandwidth and noise. Table 1.1 shows the various attenuation and gain combinations and how these

Table 1.1: Attenuation and Gain Combinations

As an example, a total system gain of x1 can be achieved three different ways depending on the signal

requirements through attenuating and amplifying by different amounts. Choosing the best combination

involves tradeoffs in input amplitude and signal to noise ratio. Noise increases with higher levels of

attenuation because the noise specification is referred to the input. In relative terms the signal to noise

ratio is basically constant.

Graph 1.1 – 4040B Frequency Response, Attenuation 100, Gain 1

Graphs 1.1 through 1.9 show the typical frequency response of both large and small signal, at

minimum, for the different combinations of attenuation and gain of the non-inverting input. The

frequency response of the inverting inputs may vary from those displayed, but are typically the same.

The graphs also display the Passband Flatness Bandwidth and the 3 dB Bandwidth for both large and

small signal levels. Output Voltages denoted with an asterisk are derived and based on empirical data

within operating characteristics of an Agilent 4395A, Network Analyzer. As shown, the frequency

response continually improves as the output voltage is decreased from the large signal level to the

small signal level. Depending on the attenuation and gain settings, the frequency response will

continue to improve with voltages less than the small signal level. All frequency responses are

guaranteed by design, not subject to production testing.

INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION Functional Considerations

Voltage & Current Limitations In general, the maximum input voltage of the 4040B should not exceed ±100 V (200 Vp-p) when the input terminator is set to 1 MΩ. However, some settings will produce incorrect results at lower voltages. This occurs when the input signal or gain setting is too high and causes the output amplifier to clip the signal. An example of this would be measuring a 10 V signal with the gain set to x100. Mathematically this results in a 1000 V signal which clearly exceeds the 2 Vp-p rating of the output amplifier. See Table 1.1 for a table of appropriate input voltages for given combinations of gain and attenuation. No damage would occur to the 4040B or to a digitizer connected to it if the input range was exceeded, but the signal would be distorted. A signal in excess of 100 V would cause the onboard voltage limiting circuitry to activate and also create distortion. There are other considerations when the 4040B is configured with the 50 Ohm input termination. The input voltage is limited to a maximum of 5 Vrms. This is due to the power limitations of the terminator which is 2 W. To protect the unit, flame proof resistors are utilized in the 50 Ohm terminator network. Important: Exceeding the rating of the input in this case requires the 4040B to be returned to the factory for service. Frequency Characteristics The 4040B is capable of amplifying very small signals with a bandwidth from DC to 100 MHz. See Table 1.1 for a complete list of settings and the expected bandwidth. In addition, AC coupling rolls off the low frequencies at 10 Hz. Two anti-aliasing low pass filters are included and tuned for 100 kHz and 1 MHz. These are first order filters that roll off at 20 dB per decade. Offset Adjustment The 4040B includes a programmable offset adjustment that operates on the signal after the gain stage. The resolution of the adjustment is 38 µV when the output is terminated with 50 Ω and can offset the signal greater than ±1 V which is the entire range of the output amplifier. It is not able to effectively offset a signal that exceeds the input range of a given gain and attenuation setting. Selecting Gains and Ranges The amplitude of the signal being measured is the primary consideration when selecting the appropriate gain and attenuation settings. As an example: A 100 mV signal that is riding on 42 V can be effectively measured with an attenuation setting of ÷100 and a gain setting of x10 with a common 42 V signal applied to the inverting input. This is because the differential operation of the 4040B rejects the 42 V common mode signal and only amplifies the difference producing an output signal of 1 V. If the signal of interest was the 42 V itself the 4040B should be configured with an attenuation of ÷100 and a gain of x1 producing an output signal of 0.42 V. The 4040B attenuates the signal prior to amplification. Selecting Input Impedance Selection of the 50 Ω input impedance should be done in the DC coupling mode only.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Precaution

Grounding the Model 4040B

The Model 4040B is grounded through the grounding conductor of the PXI chassis power cord. The connection shields of all the connectors are also grounded. The proper grounding of the chassis is essential for safety and for the optimization of the Model 4040B’s operation. WARNING To avoid electrical shock or other potential safety hazards, plug the PXI chassis power cord into a properly wired receptacle before using this instrument. Use A Common Ground for All Instruments It is very important that all instruments being used, both internal modules as well as external instruments share a common ground. If a common ground connection is lost then improper instrumentation readings may result, also see warning above. Danger Arising from Loss of Ground If the connection to ground through the PXI chassis is lost or compromised, a floating potential could develop in the Model 4040B module. Under these conditions all accessible parts, including insulating parts such as the front panel could develop a hazardous voltage and put the user at risk.

Do Not Use in Explosive Environments WARNING: The Model 4040B is not designed for operation in explosive environments.

Do not Operate Unless the 4040B Module is Properly Installed WARNING: The Model 4040B should be properly seated within an appropriate PXI chassis before use. All PXI chassis covers and service panels should be in place before operation. Operation with empty module slots, or removed covers could result in personal injury.

PXI Chassis:

WARNING: The power supply should be plugged in (to establish ground) but switched off before installing the Model 4040B or any PXI module.

Attention – Please refer to the instruction manual.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Use Care When Servicing with Power On Dangerous voltages may exist at several points within the PXI chassis. To avoid personal injury or damage, avoid touching exposed connections or components while the power is on. Assure that the power is off and any cables are disconnected when removing or servicing the 4040B amplifier.

Power Source The Model 4040B is designed to connect to a PXI Chassis and receive all operational power from the backplane of the chassis. The Model 4040B draws -12 V, 3.3 V, 5 V and 12 V from the PXI Chassis backplane. 3.3 VDC is used for all TTL level functions, 5 VDC is used for relay controls, and ±12 VDC operate onboard analog circuitry. Be aware that higher voltages exist within the PXI Chassis and it is essential that the chassis is powered off and all cables disconnected when installing or uninstalling any PXI card. A protective chassis ground connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation. WARNING: DO NOT MODIFIY any configurations or connections from their original state otherwise safe operation of this equipment may be compromised. WARNING: Always remember to shut off the power and wait at least 15 seconds before disconnecting or connecting any cables to or from the Model 4040B. Ignoring this warning could result in electric shock.

SECTION 3

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PXI Installation Follow the steps below to install the Model 4040B Fast PXI Instrumentation Amplifier.

1. Make sure the power is off or turn off the power of the PXI chassis. 2. Read the manual supplied with the PXI chassis to determine which slot is available for standard

PXI modules such as the Model 4040B. Slot 1 is usually reserved for use as a hardware controller for the overall system, or other modular device to enable PXI control.

3. Install the 4040B Driver that came with the card, and insert the 4040B into a PXI chassis empty slot by placing the card edges into the front module guides. Guides are located on both the top and bottom of the chassis entry location.

4. Gently apply pressure to further insert the card and finally use the injector/ejector handle on the 4040B to fully insert the card into the chassis.

5. Secure the 4040B to the chassis with the captured screw in the top of the face plate.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Default State at Power Up When the 4040B is initially powered, it configures to the following states:

• Attenuation of 10, • Gain of 1, • Low Pass Filter is Off, • Input Impedance is 1 MΩ, and • Offset is 7FFFh or approximately 0 V.

After power up and the cPCI driver is active, the 4040B may be reconfigured as required. Connections Both of the amplifier’s inputs require standard BNC 50 Ω connections and have an impedance of 1 MΩ or 50 Ω. The 4040B is compatible with all signals from DC to 100 MHz and 0 to ±100 V. The output is an SMB jack connector specified as 50 Ω with an output impedance of 50 Ω. For proper performance, TEGAM recommends interconnection cables made of RG316-DS. RG316-DS accessory cables are available from TEGAM in various lengths to suit your application or you may purchase them from standard cable vendors. Both input BNC shields are grounded to a common ground inside the Model 4040B. The BNC shield is at the same potential as the PXI chassis ground. Figure 3.2 represents a typical connection from the 4040B to a system under test.
