Talk:Charge amplifier

Input impedance
From the article: A piezoelectric transducer has very high DC output impedance and appears as a voltage source in series ''with a capacitor. A charge amplifier therefore needs to have a very high input impedance at DC.''

I removed the whole paragraph, as this is wrong and borderline meaningless. It would have made sense if we were speaking of a voltage amplifier. The charge amplifier provides a signal proportional to the charge it has taken from the input. For this reason, it's better to see the piezo source as a current source with a shunt capacitor. To read current, we need a low input resistance, which is provided by the OA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.141.87.240 (talk) 14:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Is this similar to what used to be called a charge sensetive amplifier?

Yes I think so--Light current 01:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
