Description

The PRL-426RS is an RS-422-to-LVDS Logic Level Translator.

The inputs of the PRL-422RS consist of two pairs of SMA connectors, each internally terminated with 124 Ω between the two signal pins. The SMA shields are tied to chassis ground. They are designed to interface with the 124 Ω differential Serial Data/Data or Clock/Clock outputs from data communications equipment. Model PRL-426RSTRI has Triax input connectors and SMA output connectors. Model PRL-426RSTR has SMA input connectors and Triax output connectors, and is available by special order.

The differential outputs are 50 Ω back-terminated and are designed for driving floating 100 Ω loads, normally the configuration used in LVDS input circuits. The output swing is typically 600 mV with a common mode voltage of 1.2 V. These high speed translators facilitate testing of high speed digital communications circuits where conversion of RS-422 clock and data signals to LVDS signals is often required.

Each unit is supplied with a ±8.5 V/1.8 A AC/DC Adaptor and housed in a 1.3 x 2.9 x 3.9-in. extruded aluminum enclosure. Available accessories include voltage distribution modules and brackets for mounting multiple units.

Notes:

(1) V_CMV = (V_oH-V_oL)/2

(2) Rise and Fall times are measured with SMA output connector units only and with ground-referenced 50 Ω loads.

(3) Skew is measured at the output of a PRL-425N when driven by a PRL-426RS

(4) fmax is measured using a PRL-425N with the corresponding input connectors as the receiver. The NECL outputs of the PRL-425N are measured.

Units with the Trompeter CBBJR79 Triax ouput connectors are tested using the PRL-425NTR, Universal Differential Receiver (Triax) with Differential NECL outputs, and the Trompeter PCGOW10PCG-36 shielded twisted pair cables.

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.

While we believe these model to be accurate, no representations are made as to accuracy or suitability for any application:
