    5 MHz Low Noise Amplifier

    Hello everybody! A collegue of mine asked me the favour to find a suitable amplifier for some experiment he would like to perfom with his class. I have a -100dbm signal at 5 MHz and I need it to amplify it to some mV level in order to be displayed on an oscilloscope. The signal bandwidth...

    Nanosecond Monostable using ECL Flip Flop D

    Thanks, I had a similar idea, the configuration would be: -D input always high -pulsed input connected to CLK -output delayed and connected to the RESET pin My only doubt is about the reset part: On Semi datasheets say that the reset is an "Asynchronous Reset" and sets the level of the...

    Nanosecond Monostable using ECL Flip Flop D

    Hi, I have a PECL trigger signal at a frequency of 40Mhz and pulse width that can be as low as 1-2 ns and I need to adjust the lenght of the pulses using a monostable to 5-10 ns. Since the pulses are very fast and the rest of the logic on my circuit is PECL I thought about using some...

    Unwanted spikes on inverting converter output

    Ok, just to help others with a problem similar to the one I am experiencing: - I haven't found the cause of the unwanted spike: maybe a bad grounding layout, maybe radiated noise from the inductor - I found a way to filter it out thought... I put a couple of 100nF ceramic capacitors on the...

    Unwanted spikes on inverting converter output

    Hello everybody, I have designed an inverting dc dc converter using a MAX1847 controller (f = 300kHz): **broken link removed** My circuit is identical to the application circuit presented in the datasheet. With the following components: L = 560uH Cout = 3 x 33uF Tantalium (ESR= 10mohm each)...

    How to build a simple clock detector?

    @ Karesz. How could I have said that a BJT has a drain and a source? :-s ehehe... Thanks for the correction. I like the idea of the current generator but I can't get it to work, at least on my SPICE simulator. I am quite sure I don't need a base resistor since the current is fixed through the...

    How to build a simple clock detector?

    Thanks for the reply! Dick's idea is good but the component count is pretty much the same as mine plus to delay the clock I need a long trace on my pcb or a delayer and that means a lot of space required. Karesz, if you read my description more carefully, I won't feed the LVPECL signal...

    How to build a simple clock detector?

    Hi Everybody, for a university project I have the need to check for the presence of a trigger-in signal in my apparatus. - The signal is a digital clock with a variable frequency in the range 1MHz - 50MHz. - I can detect this signal either from the negative output of a LVPECL XOR (Low level...

    MMIC Bias Tee Snubber Protection

    Thanks biff44. I like the idea of the big capacitor. I will try some spice simulations to see what size I need to limit the overvoltage to 20V (the maximum that the PA can take). I will also go through some AVX and Vishay datasheets... there might be some very low capacitance diodes. I have...

    MMIC Bias Tee Snubber Protection

    As I have writted in my previous posts, this bias tee needs to bias a power amplifier: HMC637LP5 (https://www.hittite.com/content/documents/data_sheet/hmc637lp5.pdf) The power amplifier ouputs on a 50ohm line that goes to a photodetector. The photodetector is a SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche...

    MMIC Bias Tee Snubber Protection

    The values of L and C are so high because the low freq of the bias tee is around 100khz. Basically the waveform coming out of this MMIC amplifier is a squarewave that must have: - 200ps rise time - no oscillations (or 1% limited ones) - 40 MHz period - duty between 10% and 90% - the on...

    MMIC Bias Tee Snubber Protection

    This is a simple schematic of my design. I am at my parents' home now and I don't have the values of L2 and L3 but they are around some tens of uH. It's my first time designing a bias tee but if the inductors behave like in switching power supply,if the voltage on the positive rail is...

    MMIC Bias Tee Snubber Protection

    Hi Everybody, I am Gianluca, an EE Master's student from Italy. This is going to be my first post in this forum but I have read you for quite a while now. I am designing an ultrafast pulser to trigger a photodetector. The last stage of this pulser is an MMIC PA from Hittite. I developed a...
