*All measurements are made with outputs terminated into 50 Ω/VTT, using the PRL-550NQ4X or PRL-550PQ4X four channel ECL/PECL 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). fMAX is measured by AC coupling a sine wave to the D input using the differential input mode (switch up). The differential outputs are first divided by four, using the PRL-255N or PRL-255P, and then measured using the PRL-550NQ4X or PRL-550PQ4X, four channel ECL/PECL Terminators, connected to a sampling scope.
(3). fMAX is specified for SMA models. BNC versions are slower.
VTT is nominally -2.0 V for ECL, +3.0 V for PECL, and +1.3 V for LVPECL. VBB is nominally -1.3 V for ECL, +3.7 V for PECL, and 2.0 V for LVPECL
