DescriptionThe PRL-432N is a dual channel NECL Interface Translator designed specifically for use with high speed recording instruments in satellite image transmission applications. The PRL-432N is the Recorder Playback Translator especially suited for interfacing with the SONY DFC-1800 Variable Rate Buffer used in the DIR-1000 recording system. The inputs of the PRL-432N consist of two triax connectors, each internally terminated with 124 Ω between the pin and the ring. They are designed to interface with the 124 Ω differential Serial Data/Data and Clock/Clock outputs from the SONY DFC-1800 Variable Rate Buffer, but the differential 124 Ω input covers a CMR between -2.5 V and +4 V. Within this CMR, the PRL-432N inputs are compatible with NECL, PECL, LVPECL, RS422 or LVDS differential 124 Ω output drive circuits. The complementary NECL outputs have SMA connectors and are designed for driving 50 Ω loads terminated to -2 V or AC-coupled 50 Ω loads. The PRL-432N is housed in an attractive 1.3 x 2.9 x 3.9-in. extruded aluminum enclosure and supplied with a ±8.5 V AC/DC Adapter. 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 ±8.5 V AC/DC adapter using the PRL-730 voltage distribution module. |

*Since the high frequency signals to and from the 124 Ω I/O ports can not be measured easily, the 124 Ω I/O ports of these adapters are first cascaded using shielded twisted pair cables, Trompeter P/N PCGOW10PCG-36 or equivalent. Input signals are applied to the 50 Ω inputs of the PRL-433, and outputs of the PRL-432 are terminated into 50 Ω/-2V, using the PRL-550NQ4X, four channel ECL Terminators, connected to a 50 Ω input sampling oscilloscope.
Notes:- The 50 Ω output rise and fall times were measured with both the Q and Q outputs terminated into 50 Ω/-2 V. If either output is left unterminated, both the rise and fall times will increase by approximately 15%, and output waveform degradation will occur.
- FMAX is measured by AC coupling a sine wave to the D input using the differential input mode (switch up). The differential outputs are first divided by eight, using the PRL-255N, and then measured using the PRL-550NQ4X, four channel ECL Terminator, connected to a sampling 'scope.
- Trompeter P/N CBBJR79.
- Trompeter PCB4W10PEA-36 cable is recommended for interfacing between the CBBJR79 triax connector in the PRL-432N/433N and the twinax connector in the SONY DFC-1800.
-
All PRL products with Triax connectors use Trompeter P/N CBBJR79, Right Angle Circuit Board Bulkhead Jack, 3-lug (Numbered page 10, document page 11 of 142). Any Trompeter 70-series Triax Cable Plug with 3 lugs (e.g. PL75-9, 3-lug) will mate with CBBJR79.
