electrometer

---

Tyne Engineering has designed an economical fempto amp electrometer for use by OEMs to support instruments that normally use larger, more expensive electrometers. The electrometer will accept currents in femptoamps and convert them to signals in millivolts.

• Small size
• Very high sensitivity : down to 1 fA
• Will fit into OEM instruments
• Low cost

The Tyne electrometer is a compact device that can measure currents as low as 1 fA at a floating potential of up to 100 VDC and convert it to 1 mV.   The electrometer has a BNC input and 18 AWG flying lead outputs. The device requires +/- 15 VDC at 10mA power for operation. The lowest measurement range at this power is 1 fA – 15,000 fA mapped to 1 mV – 15,000 mV. The customer can select any measurement range from 1 fA to 1 mA over 15,000 units of measurement.
