Universal differential receiver and line
driver
These compact, self-contained buffer pods are long line drivers that can receive any differential signal with a minimum amplitude of 100 mV and a common-mode range (CMR) between -2.4V to +4V
Pulse Research Lab (PRL) announces the PRL 425 series universal differential receivers and line drivers These compact, self-contained buffer pods are long line drivers that can receive any differential signal with a minimum amplitude of 100 mV and a common-mode range (CMR) between -2.4V to +4V

Programmable clock source from 1.25MHz - 1.35GHz
This self-contained clock source pod is manually programmable and generates TTL and ECL clock signals from 1.2MHz to 1.35GHz with high resolution (100ppm) and precision, crystal-like, stability
Frequency divider covers four decades
Divided outputs are synchronous with the input frequency and can be used for triggering data acquisition systems, pattern generators, oscilloscopes, and networking/telecommunications devices
The differential TTL and RS-422 outputs can run up to 300MHz, and the NECL outputs up to 1.8GHz.
The new, ready-to use PRL-425 series can translate and/or buffer signals from satellite receivers, optical transceivers, military equipment, and telecommunications equipment.
The PRL-425 series of multipurpose modules is available with Triax I/O connectors or differential SMA inputs and floating 100Ohm differential input impedance, suitable for receiving differential LVDS, LVPECL, LVTTL/CMOS, NECL, PECL, LVPECL, RS-422, or TTL signals.
Pulse Research Lab's three individual models offer TTL, NECL, or RS-422 outputs, respectively.
The PRL 425T has 50 ohm back-terminated TTL outputs that can drive long lines with or without 50Ohm terminations.
With 50Ohm load terminations, the TTL outputs can drive 30m of 50Ohm cables at clock rates greater than 100MHz.
The NECL outputs of the PRL-425N can drive 50Ohm loads terminated into -2V or AC-coupled 50Ohm loads up to 1.8GHz.
The TTL and NECL outputs are SMA and can be used differentially or single-ended.
The outputs of the PRL-425RS will drive a standard RS-422 differential input up to 600MHz, and are also available with SMA or Triax I/O connectors.
The PRL-425 universal differential receiver is said to be ideal for line-driver applications where a single-function instrument pod is needed to receive and/or transmit differential signals over long distances.
PRL's wide range of line drivers and level translator products, paired with the innovative PRL-425 series, enables the translation, distribution, and transmission of mixed logic signals commonly required in system integration, military/aerospace, and test applications.
Each unit includes a 120/220 VAC adapter and SMA or Triax signal connectors for ready-to-use convenience on the bench, in a system, or in OEM applications.
The compact extruded aluminum housing is suitable for mounting with the optional brackets, and several units can share a single AC adapter using PRL voltage distribution modules.
