International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1993 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Transducers whose outputs are characterized as a charge require signal
conditioning to convert the charge produced to a voltage or current for use in
instrumentation systems. Blast gauges, in particular, require processing which
preserves the transient nature of the data and very fast risetimes, which would
otherwise be degraded by long cable runs and parasitic capacitances. A charge
amplifier which amplifies and converts a charge to a low-impedance voltage
suitable for driving coaxial lines is described, along with theory of operation.
Charge amplifiers of the type described are relatively unaffected by temperature
and power supply variations, and occupy less than two square inches of printed
circuit board space per channel.
