The Picosecond 5828-107 is an ultra-broadband amplifier engineered for high-speed pulse and RF applications requiring exceptional signal integrity and timing precision. Delivering 15 GHz bandwidth with 22 ps typical risetime, this inverting amplifier provides stable 50 Ω operation across 5½ decades from 65 kHz to 15 GHz. Ideal for 10 Gb/s systems, digital communication platforms, and advanced instrumentation, the 5828-107 combines AC coupling with unconditional stability and clean transient response.
