Agilent / HP 10086A
Precision Adapter
Description
This is a ECL Terminator.
Its signals are normally offset from ground, while high frequency test equipment generally has 50ohm termination to ground.
Attempting to connect an ECL signal directly to the test equipment could result in damage to the ECL output or damage to the test equipment.
This unit has an excellent interface between ECL outputs and test and measurement equipment.
The terminator offsets and attenuates the signal sufficiently to protect the test equipment, while providing the proper termination voltage between the ECL circuit and the test equipment.
This unit can be used alone to load an ECL output.
The ECL terminator is a precision adapter that is DC-coupled to the instrumentation.
This will allow direct measurement of your ECL signal.
The power supply adjustment and capacitive or transformer coupling are no longer necessary with the ECL terminator.
Also it is no longer necessary to float the instrumentation ground to -2 V, which will reduce the hazards of the power supply shorting and electrical shock or damage to the circuit.
