Signal Distribution and Translation for Navigation/Positioning:

GPS and related navigation/positioning technologies require precision timing distribution with low skew. PRL fanout buffers can distribute your timing/time-code signals from a single source to 2, 4, 10 or more destination stations. Selected modules include logic translation, so you can convert to/from TTL, ECL, PECL, LVPECL, RS-422, or LVDS as required. PRL also offers modules for converting sinewave/RF timing to TTL, ECL, or other logic families.


Digital Buffering and Distribution:

Our most common application is fanout of a single timing signal to multiple systems with high precision. All of our fanout products are edge-triggered logic buffers with fast rise times, which preserves your timing integrity throughout the system. All of our active outputs are 50 Ω line drivers, enabling you to distribute signals throughout your lab or throughout your entire station. Programmable delay modules allow you to perform system-level deskewing or to simulate time-of-flight differences. Popular models include:

 
  • PRL-414B, 1:4 TTL Fanout Buffer, 130 MHz
  • PRL-4110, 1:0 TTL Fanout Buffer
  • PRL-434A, 1:4 NECL Fanout Buffer, 4+ GHz
  • PRL-424LV, 1:4 LVDS Fanout Buffer, 1.25 GHz
  • PRL-480N, 2 Ch. NECL Delay, 0-2.2 ns/17.5 ps

Individual models have channel-to-channel skew as low as 50 ps, and system-level skew can be controlled via programmable delay modules.


Sinewave Conversion:

Use our comparators to convert sinewave signals into logic-level signals. The PRL-350 series will trigger on signals as small at 10 mVpp and operates up to 2 GHz.
