Abstract :
A Cryogenic Current Comparator (CCC) used as a SET current amplifier with a maximum current ratio of 30 000 : 1 has been developed at LNE. The equivalent input current noise was found lower than 2 fA/Hz1/2 over a frequency range 1 Hz to 350 Hz in both operating modes. A new matrix method allows the analytical determination of the electrical behavior of the CCC to estimate the AC current ratio error. The error on 30 000:1 ratio is estimated less 10-8 at 1 Hz.
