1.6µF. The real portion of the input impedance (0.5 Ω) determines the noise performance. See page 7 for detailed information on input impedance.

The input can be floated up to ±100 VDC with respect to the chassis. The maximum AC input before overload is 14 mV RMS (±20 mV peak) when the unit is in the buffered mode. In either mode, the input is clamped at about 350 mV RMS (±0.5 V peak). Care should be taken when the unit is used in the bypassed mode, since a ±0.5 V peak input becomes ±50 V at the output.

In the buffered mode, the OVERLOAD indicator will light when the preamplifier overloads. An overload that occur after the preamplifier will be indicated by the lock-in amplifier’s overload indicator. The SR554’s overload indicator is only

functional when the unit is in the buffered mode. If the unit is operated in the bypassed mode and power is applied, the overload LED may light even when the unit is not overloaded. This does not indicate an overload, but is due to leakage current of the buffer amplifier and its protection circuitry. To avoid this, power should not be connected when the unit is used in the bypassed mode.

For single ended operation the (A) Output of the SR554 should be connected to the

(A)Input of the lock-in amplifier. The center conductor carries the signal and

the shield is ground. For most applications, this single connection will be adequate.

For situations with potential noise pick-up on the cable, it may be better to operate in
