Description

The PRL-414TRSBTR is a 1:4 fanout or 2 x 1:2 fanout RS-422 line driver with two 50 Ω BNC TTL inputs and four 124 Ω differential RS-422 outputs. The PRL-414RSTR high speed fanout line driver facilitates testing and integration of high speed digital communications circuits and distribution of satellite signals.

The PRL-414TRSBTR has two fanout modes, selectable by a toggle switch:

In the 1:4 mode (switch Up) D₁ is connected to all four outputs Q₁-Q₄, and D₂ is ignored. This mode is used for fanout of a single signal to four receivers.
In the 2 x 1:2 mode (switch Down) each of the two input signals is distributed to two outputs, with D₁ connected to Q₁-Q₂, and D₂ connected to Q₃-Q₄. This mode allows simultaneous distribution of Clock and Data signals to two receivers.

The four sets of complementary outputs are 62 Ω back-terminated and designed for driving floating 124 Ω loads, normally the configuration used in RS-422 input circuits. The output swing is typically 1.40 V with a common mode voltage of 1.55 V. .

Because every output is independently buffered, unused outputs do not require termination, and outputs can even be shorted without affecting other outputs. These applications would not be possible with a passive splitter or powered distribution amplifier.

Multiple units of PRL-414TRSBTR can be cascaded for wider fanout, such as 1:16 or higher. The PRL-414TRSBTR can be combined with other PRL products and integrated into a rack-mount system using PRL's modular rackmount kit, PRL-MRK3-1.

All I/Os are Triax, using Trompeter CBBJR79 or equivalent, and will mate with any Trompeter 70-series Triax Cable Plug with 3 lugs, or compatible connector.

The PRL-414TRSBTR is supplied with a ±8.5 V/1.4 A AC/DC adapter and housed in a 1.3 x 2.9 x 6.0-in. extruded aluminum enclosure. Available accessories include voltage distribution modules and shielded twisted pair cables with Triax termination:

88001140-36 Cable, Shielded Twisted Pair, 124 Ohm Triax to Triax, 36"
88001140-48 Cable, Shielded Twisted Pair, 124 Ohm Triax to Triax, 48"

A related model is available with RS-422/Triax inputs, the PRL-414RSTR.

Notes:

(1) V_CMO = (V_OH-V_OL)/2

(2) Rise and Fall times are measured using the PRL-860DTR, Low-Loss Triax Pickoff Tee. The through signals are driving a PRL-425TTR-C001, modified with a floating 124 Ω input, and the pickoff signals are driving 50 Ω scope inputs.

(3) f_max is measured using the PRL-177A Clock Generator driving the inputs via a PRL-Triax-SMA adapter and a PRL-425TTR-C001 as the receiver. The outputs of the PRL-425TTR-C001 are measured.
