Description
The TD40MCA divider is a general purpose test accessory designed for microwave, communications and test
applications. The accessory simultaneously provides divide-by-2, divide-by-4, and divide-by-8 outputs. The sin-
gle-ended input is accessed from the rear via a 2.9mm connector while the outputs are provided at the front
panel via SMA connectors. All inputs and outputs are AC coupled. The divider is self contained and plugs into
standard AC power sources.
Application
The TD40MCA divider can be used to extend the trigger range of high speed sampling oscilloscopes. Precision
timebase measurements will benefit from the very low added jitter and fast waveform edges. The TD40MCA can
be used to generate sychronized, high frequency clocks from existing sinusoidal, synthesized sources. The low
1/f phase noise characteristics of the divider will benefit high frequency phase lock loop designs.
