One comment on the parallel AC gate approach. It may not be directly
applicable to Martyn's issue, but there is a common confusion about the
value of the summing resistors.
Per Tom Clark, who came up with the idea, they are *not* intended to
provide a near-end line termination to 50 ohms, but are simply there to
protect the paralleled devices if the gates have slightly different
delays (in which case one gate could end up sinking the other two).
So, the commonly used 47 ohm value isn't magic. You can use a lower
value, and thus get more voltage at the far end. I haven't experimented
to see how far you can take that idea before destroying gates.

Hello,
A quick question.
My output driver for a simple amplifier.
I use three gates (in parallel with resistors) from a 74AC14 to give me about
0-3.2V into 50 ohm.
I want to have a driver that gives me a full 0-5V (at least 0-4.5V) swing into
50 ohms.
Can anyone recommend an IC that can delivery this.
But it needs to have similar jitter performance to the 74AC14.
I use it up to 10 MHz.
Best Regards
Martyn
