Transition Time Converters

015-0710-00 / 015-0711-00 / 015-0712-00 / 015-0713-00 / 015-0714-00

Product Overview

These converters are designed to convert the fixed transition times, 150ps, 250ps, 500ps, 1ns,

and 2ns (see Figure 2). The new design of these converters ensures low signal reflection, unlike

conventional converters (see Figure 3). Reducing the signal transition times also increases the

overall pulse-performance for overshoot/reflection sensitive applications (see Figure 1). The

converters are fitted with SMA connectors, one male, and one female. The converters can be used

in both directions.
