*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). fMAX 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. 3.0 GHz guaranteed fMAX is currently limited by production test equipment.
(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.
