HCPL7101 and similar 50MBaud optocouplers claim 50ps rms jitter. Some non optical isolated couplers specify ~30ps jitter. Bruce > > On 01 September 2017 at 00:12 Anders Wallin > wrote: > > Hi all, > I'm looking for a solution for galvanic isolation

[time-nuts] Isolated 1PPS-input for distribution-amp?

2017-08-31 Thread Anders Wallin
Hi all, I'm looking for a solution for galvanic isolation of a 1PPS signal-input to a distribution amplifier. We have an old box using HCPL-2411 at the input followed by 74LS04, but the degraded rise-time (from below 3ns out of a clock, to >12 ns out of the box) and increased jitter (from below
