The SRS SIM964 Analog Limiter is a signal conditioning module that enforces upper and lower voltage limits on analog signals within the SIM900 Mainframe ecosystem. It delivers 1 MHz bandwidth with independently programmable limit thresholds across ±10 V, 10 mV resolution, and soft-limit operation over a 100 mV range. The module combines a fully analog signal path with digital programmability, achieving <400 µVrms output noise and 0.01% THD at 1 kHz while employing SRS's clock-stopping architecture to suppress digital noise artifacts.
