Overview

The trigger/clock distribution module consists of two independent channels of a comparator driving an ECL line driver and eight TTL line drivers. Each comparator has both an on-board threshold level adjustment and a hysteresis adjustment.

This module is designed to capture an input signal on each of two channels and distribute the signals to other devices. Applications include distributing standard clock and other signals in laboratory, factory, and general ATE requirements.

Each input signal is passed through a high-speed comparator to convert analog type signals into logic level signals with a minimum propagation delay. Each output is individually buffered to prevent signal interactions. The module is housed in a C-size VXIbus enclosure and derives all necessary power from the VXIbus.
