TTL impedance converter - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Any inputs on how to convert a TTL signal from 1kohm source to 50ohm load. Can I just use an input 50-ohm line driver directly? (e.g. http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/p ... 4s140.html)

For this specific design the load can be either 1kohm or 50ohm.

Rise time is defined as 10ns (i.e. bandwidth of about 35MHz [ BW = 0.35/t_rise]))

I appreciate your inputs.

Regards,
Andre

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
