DRIVE50

50 Ohm Driver Card

• "TTL" Level Line driver
• 50 or 75 Ohm output impedance
• BNC or SMA output connector
• 10K pull-up on input
• Card is non-inverting
• 3V-5V power
• 3-pin right angle 0.1" pitch input connector
• (4) 4-40 mounting holes

Driver

• 5x paralleled 74AC14 drivers
  • 24mA per pin max current output
    • Symmetric high-low drive levels
  • Short-circuit proof
    • 5V, 250 Ohms to ground is 20 mA (pins are rated for 24 mA
• Card input has single buffer stage
• Schmitt Trigger Input
• 3.3V, 250 Ohm resistors (/5) for 50 Ohm output
  • Normal output = 10 mA per pin

Test

• Supply Vcc 3.3V to 5V and ground
• Input is pulled up to Vcc
• Measure output with BNC T
  • Should be 1/2 of Vcc with 50 Ohm terminator
  • Should be Vcc without terminator
