PRL-420ND DUAL CHANNEL TTL TO NECL LOGIC LEVEL TRANSLATOR
PRL-420PD DUAL CHANNEL TTL TO PECL LOGIC LEVEL TRANSLATOR
APPLICATIONS
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The PRL-420ND and PRL-420PD are, respectively, dual channel TTL/CMOS to NECL and TTL/CMOS to PECL Logic Level
Translators. Each unit has a switch-selectable 1.5V or 1V input threshold voltage. The PRL-420ND has a pair of complementary NECL
outputs suitable for driving 50 Ω loads terminated to -2V. The complementary PECL outputs from the PRL-420PD are suitable for
driving 50 Ω loads terminated to +3V. The outputs of both units can also drive AC coupled or floating 50 Ω.
These Logic Level Translators are designed specifically for use in testing and interfacing of high speed digital communications circuits,
where conversions from TTL/CMOS level signals to NECL and PECL level signals are often required. They are ideal building blocks
that complement other PRL Logic Level Translators, such as the PRL-450ND, PRL-450PD, PRL-460NPD and PRL-460PND, etc. in
systems integration applications where interconnections of mixed logic signals are often necessary.
They are ready-to-use functional modules housed in 1.3 x 2.9 x 3.9-in. extruded aluminum enclosures and are supplied with ±8.5V
AC/DC Adaptors. Both units have BNC input connectors and SMA output connectors. Block diagrams of these Logic Level
Translators are shown in Fig. 1A and Fig. 1B.
If mounting is desired, a pair of 35001420 mounting brackets can accommodate two PRL modules of the same length. A number of
PRL modules can also share a single ±8.5V AC/DC adaptor using the PRL-730 or PRL-736 voltage distribution module. Please see the
Accessories Section for more detail.

... PRL-255N NECL frequency divider. The outputs of the PRL-255N are then measured using the PRL-550NQ4X, four channel NECL Terminators, connected Ω input sampling 'scope. Similarly, f MAX for the PRL-420PD is measured using the PRL-450PD as the input driver, and its outputs are connected to the differential inputs of the PRL-255P PECL frequency divider. The outputs of the PRL-255P are then measured using the PRL-550PQ4X, four channel PECL Terminators, connected Ω ...
