Eight output START trigger / master clock source

The MCCD is a 8 output fast pulse driver with 60 ps rise time and a 8 output clock driver (TTL) with internal reference clock or ext input.

The Model MCCD is a fast pulse distributor intended to be used with multiple MCS8A modules. It expands one common START signal to several synchronous starting MCS8A units. The introduced additional time jitter is typical less than 0.075ps rms. Output rise / fall time is 60 ps. The minimum pulse width is 90ps. It can operate up to 6 GHz periodic signal frequency. In addition there is a synchronous clock source at the rear panel. It can supply up to 8 MCS8A units with a common clock for synchronous operation of multiple MCS8A. It has a clock input (TTL 3.3V, 10 to 120 MHz) to be distributed to the connected MCS8As. Termination can be 50 Ohm or 3 kOhm. AC or DC coupling is selectable. If no input signal is connected, by setting an internal jumper the internal 10 MHz clock source can be fed to the output connectors. The internal quartz oscillator can be replaced by an oven-stabilized oscillator (option MCCDOVX) or a highly stable Cs atomic clock (option MCCDATOM) or an internal GPS stabilized clock (option MCCDGPS). Also there is an optional binary divider (32 bit), which can reduce the external clock in binary steps. Divider factor is set by internal jumpers.
