GFT644 | 4 Channel 50 Ω TTL Line Driver Module

The GFT644 module is specially designed for interfacing signal and 50 Ω long cable.

The input threshold can be set to 1.5 or 0.0 or -1.5 V and the input load can be selected from 50 Ω to 1 KΩ pull up by a front panel switch. So that channel input can be driven directly by TTL / CMOS logic levels or open collector or negative pulse ( 0 to -2 V) or AC coupled signal ( +0.5 to -0.5 V)

All outputs with 50 Ω load can drive 100 feet of cable at clock rate greater than 200 MHz with 2.5 V amplitude. Each output polarity can be set normal or inverted and  is compatible with DC or AC TTL input.

The GFT644 is a compact module supplied with a +5V AC/DC adapter

Typical GFT644 application includes to distribute four independent High speed signals to four devices via long cable (up to 100 feet) with TTL level.
