*Since the high frequency signals to and from the 124 Ω I/O ports can not be measured easily, the 124 Ω I/O ports of these adapters are first cascaded using shielded twisted pair cables, Trompeter P/N PCGOW10PCG-36 or equivalent. Input signals are applied to the 50 Ω inputs of the PRL-433, and outputs of the PRL-432 are terminated into 50 Ω/-2V, using the PRL-550NQ4X, four channel ECL Terminators, connected to a 50 Ω input sampling oscilloscope.
Notes:
  1. The 50 Ω output rise and fall times were measured with both the Q and Q outputs terminated into 50 Ω/-2 V. If either output is left unterminated, both the rise and fall times will increase by approximately 15%, and output waveform degradation will occur.
  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 eight, using the PRL-255, and then measured using the PRL-550NQ4X, four channel ECL Terminator, connected to a sampling 'scope.
  3. Trompeter P/N CBBJR79.
  4. Trompeter PCB4W10PEA-36 cable is recommended for interfacing between the CBBJR79 triax connector in the PRL-432N/433N and the twinax connector in the SONY DFC-1800.
  5. All PRL products with Triax connectors use Trompeter P/N CBBJR79, Right Angle Circuit Board Bulkhead Jack, 3-lug (Page 11 of Trompeter Mil/Aero Catalog). Any Trompeter 70-series Triax Cable Plug with 3 lugs (e.g. PL75-9, 3-lug) will mate with CBBJR79. Cable Plugs are on Page 9 of Trompeter Mil/Aero Catalog.
