ABSTRACT:
A digital gain controlled current to voltage amplifier having particular utility for interfacing with and forming part of a spectrophotometer system with a photomultiplier tube being responsive to light for producing an analog current proportional to the intensity thereof. The digital gain controlled current to voltage amplifier incorporates a current switched multiplying digital-to-analog converter inside its feedback loop. In this manner, the feedback loop impedance may be maintained constant as its gain is varied under control of a software programmed microcomputer.
