  Introduction


MadPLL® is a powerful instrument package that allows the user to create an inexpensive, high resolution resonant scanning probe microscope using Mad City Labs nanopositioning systems. In short, MadPLL® can be used to create an “instant” closed loop AFM or NSOM at a fraction of the cost of commercial systems. MadPLL® is suitable for nanoscale characterization and nanoscale fabrication applications such as optical antennas, nano-optics, semiconductors, data storage, and more.

MadPLL® has been specifically designed for resonant probes such as tuning forks and Akiyama probes. In addition MadPLL® is fully compatible with Mad City Labs’ high resolution nanopositioning systems which makes it easy for users to build a scanning probe microscope with a flexibility that cannot be achieved with other commercial systems. The seamless integration of hardware combined with the built-in automated control of MadPLL® means that you can concentrate on getting results.

MadPLL® is ideal for research and teaching laboratories offering high performance, versatility, simplicity and excellent value.

  What is MadPLL®?


MadPLL® is an integrated solution that includes the digital phase lock loop (PLL) controller, software, sensor amplifier board and resonant probe mounting board. Simply add your Akiyama probe or tuning fork to the probe board to create a powerful force sensor for scanning probe measurements.

The MadPLL® package includes the MadPLL® digital PLL controller, sensor board, probe board, and MadPLL® software. Ease of integration with resonant probes and Mad City Labs' low noise nanopositioning systems give users the ability to create high performance, low cost NSOM and AFM instruments.



The PLL controller contains a digitally controlled proportional integral (PI) loop designed to work seamlessly with Mad City Labs’ nanopositioning systems. The addition of closed loop nanopositioners adds to the high performance of MadPLL®. Additional options are available for multi-axis closed loop nanopositioning control. 

The PLL controller has three operational modes: self oscillation, PLL driven, and (lock-in) DDS driven. The probe can be controlled in constant excitation or constant signal mode. Measured outputs from the controller include changes in frequency, amplitude or phase shift.

The digital MadPLL® controller has three operational modes: self oscillation, PLL driven, and DDS driven. The probe can be controlled in constant excitation amplitude or constant signal amplitude. Changes in frequency, amplitude, or phase are measured for Z control.



The MadPLL® package includes a digital phase lock loop (PLL) controller, software, sensor amplifier board, and resonant probe mounting board. MadPLL® includes five (5) each of the vertical, horizontal, Akiyama, and blank probe boards. In addition, each unit is shipped with five (5) tuning forks. Additional probe boards and tuning forks can be purchased separately.

The sensor amplifier and probe board assemblies are compact and can be fitted to existing instrumentation. The probe board simply plugs into the sensor amplifier board. The sensor amplifier board can be mounted to a precision positioner such as a closed loop nanopositioning system. The probe board has been designed for use with tuning forks and Akiyama probes. These probes are easy to mount and alignment free.

  MadPLL® Software


MadPLL® software simplifies the control of your scanning probe microscope. All of the functions of MadPLL® are fully automated but accessible via individual software control. Among the software features are automated setup, configuration control, auto-Q calculation and automatic parasitic capacitance compensation (PCC) control. These included features are designed to simplify setup and accelerate the data acquisition process. MadPLL® software integrates seamlessly with Mad City Labs' AFMView™ software. AFMView™ software is part of our complete SPM development system.


  Application - AFM Video Tutorial


Instant AFM - just add science!


MadPLL® can be used to create a customized, high resolution Akiyama probe or tuning fork atomic force microscope (AFM) at a fraction of the cost of commercial systems. MadPLL® has been designed to directly interface with Mad City Labs’ low noise single and multi-axis nanopositioning systems, making it possible to create a fully closed loop AFM. The AFM described is suitable for both research and teaching environments and can be further customized for vacuum operation. MadPLL® is suitable for nanoscale characterization and nanoscale fabrication applications such as optical antennas, nano-optics, semiconductors, data storage, and more.
