Re: [time-nuts] TADD-2 Mini Sine or Square signal input?

I suspect it will work fine; worst case might be that you add a 3dB attenuator, but I doubt you'll need it. I would test, if you can, to see whether the output jitter varies between the full input level and something that's closer to 1-2V p-p. John On 11/13/2012 9:52 PM, Edgardo Molina

Thank you John, If I test as you mention I will share the results. Regards, Edgardo Molina Dirección IPTEL www.iptel.net.mx T : 55 55 55202444 M : 04455 10045822 Piensa en Bits SA de CV Información anexa: CONFIDENCIALIDAD DE INFORMACION Este mensaje tiene carácter confidencial. Si

[time-nuts] TADD-2 Mini Sine or Square signal input?

Dear Group, Does anybody know is the TAPR TADD-2 Mini works with input signals with square wave geometry? Or Sine wave only? Thank you. Regards, Edgardo Molina Dirección IPTEL www.iptel.net.mx T : 55 55 55202444 M : 04455 10045822 Piensa en Bits SA de CV Información anexa:

Re: [time-nuts] TADD-2 Mini Sine or Square signal input?

A 50% duty cycle square wave with an amplitude 5V pp should be OK. Bruce Edgardo Molina wrote: Dear Group, Does anybody know is the TAPR TADD-2 Mini works with input signals with square wave geometry? Or Sine wave only? Thank you. Regards, Edgardo Molina Dirección IPTEL

Dear Bruce, Thank you for your kind reply. I think I will get a couple of these nice toys to play a little bit with them. Regards, Edgardo Molina Dirección IPTEL www.iptel.net.mx T : 55 55 55202444 M : 04455 10045822 Piensa en Bits SA de CV Información anexa: CONFIDENCIALIDAD DE

Re: [time-nuts] TADD-2 Mini Sine or Square signal input?

Hello Edgardo -- The T2-Mini uses a wide-range input circuit based on one that Wenzel published with some modifications. It works with a square wave input (I've done some limited testing) but I can't verify whether the input amplitude range will extend as far on either the low or the high

Re: [time-nuts] TADD-2 Mini Sine or Square signal input?

Dear John, Your response is welcome. My square signal input is 3.3V and 50% duty cycle. Low end 0.5V, High end 2.7V. Will I be able to make it without the bypass? Or should I start warming the soldering station? Thanks! Edgardo Molina Dirección IPTEL www.iptel.net.mx T : 55 55 55202444

Re: [time-nuts] TADD-2 Mini Sine or Square signal input?

That should be OK connected directly to the input as the resultant reverse bias on the switching transistor base-emitter junctions is well within the specified limits One can check this both by simulating the performance and by actual measurement with a scope. Bruce Edgardo Molina wrote:

Dear Bruce, Thank you. I will order a unit and do my testing. You have a nice evening. Regards, Edgardo Molina Dirección IPTEL www.iptel.net.mx T : 55 55 55202444 M : 04455 10045822 Piensa en Bits SA de CV Información anexa: CONFIDENCIALIDAD DE INFORMACION Este mensaje tiene
