In some of my projects I like to use the MC10EL16. Does any one have an opinion on it? Bert Kehren In a message dated 4/17/2013 9:31:57 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, davidwh...@gmail.com writes:

It's a saturating amp rather than a comparator." What criteria do they use to distinguish the two? Application? Differential inputs and outputs? I am not surprised that it would have lower jitter than ECL if the later lacks an independent external reference. I have been looking into low jitter triggers for sampling systems recently and will probably end up using a discrete differential amplifier driving ECL logic. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
