Figure 2A-6. AC Buffer Simplified Schematic (2635A)

JFETs A3Q3 through A3Q9 select one of the four gain (or attenuation) ranges of the buffer (wide-bandwidth op-amp A3U7.) The four JFET drive signals ACR1 through ACR4 turn the JFETs on at 0V and off at -VAC. Only one line at a time will be set at 0 volts to select a range.

The input signal to the buffer is first divided by 10, 100, or 1000 for the 300 mV, 3V, and 30V ranges, respectively. The resistance ratios used are summarized in Table 2A-6. Note that the 111.1-kΩresistor is left in parallel with the smaller (higher attenuation) resistors. The attenuated signal is then amplified by A3U7, which is set for a gain of 25 by the 2.776-kΩand 115.7Ω resistors in A3Z3. Components A3R27 and A3C23 compensate high-frequency performance on the 300 mV range. For the 300V range, overall buffer gain is determined by the ratio of the 2.776-kΩfeedback resistor to the 1.111-MΩinput resistor.
