*All dynamic measurements are made with outputs terminated into 50 Ω/-2 V, using the PRL-550NQ4X, four channel ECL Terminator, connected to a 50 Ω input sampling oscilloscope.

Notes:

(1). The output rise and fall times of each channel are measured with its complementary output terminated into 50 Ω/-2 V. An unused complementary 50 Ω output must be either terminated into 50 Ω/-2 V or AC coupled into a 50 Ω load; otherwise, output waveform distortion and rise time degradation will occur. Use the PRL-ACT-50 Dual Channel, AC Coupled 50 Ω Terminator for terminating unused outputs.

(2). f_MAX is measured using differential inputs only. Each pair of differential outputs are first divided by four, using the PRL-255, and then measured using the PRL-550NQ4X, four channel ECL Terminator, connected to a sampling 'scope. At frequencies above 1 GHz, skew between the differential inputs, due to unequal cable lengths, limits the value of f_max. Single ended input may produce better results if low skew differential inputs are not available.

(3). When the unit is driven by an AC coupled sinewave signal in the differential input mode, the signal swing is symmetrical with respect to -2 V. The peak-to peak swing of the input signal should not exceed these Common Mode limits.
