*All dynamic measurements are made with outputs terminated into 50 Ω/-2 V, using the PRL-550NQ4X, four channel ECL Terminators, connected to a 50 Ω input sampling oscilloscope. Notes:
The output rise and fall times are measured with with all inputs terminated into 50 Ω/VTT. For best performance all outputs should be terminated into 50 Ω/VTT or else AC- coupled into 50 Ω loads. If a single output is used, its complement must be terminated; otherwise output waveform distortion will occur. If one pair of complementary outputs is used, the other complementary pair may remain unterminated. Use the PRL-550 Series, four channel ECL/PECL/LVPECL Terminators, for the 50 Ω/VTT termination and for connection of ECL/PECL/LVPECL signals to 50 Ω input oscilloscopes. The PRL-ACT-50, Dual Channel AC-Coupled 50  Terminator, may also be used to provide the 50 /VTT termination. If preservation of DC levels is not required, then the PRL-SC-104, 0.1 µf DC block or the PRL-ACX-12dB, 12 dB AC-coupled attenuator, may be used to connect the NECL/PECL/LVPECL outputs to 50 Ω input instruments.
(2). The maximum attainable frequency of the PRL-170 is dependent on the availability of high frequency crystal clock oscillators, currently limited to 825 MHz.
