serial SECL to DECL conversion
serial SECL to DECL conversion
(OP)
Hello,
I need to convert from a serial single-ended ECL signal to serial differential ECL. I'm using a SyntheSys BitAlyzer 1000. This unit has serial SECL I/O with SMA and BNC connectors. I need to interface to an Agilent Optical Transceiver which is expecting Differential inputs. So, I'm looking for a SECL to DECL converter. My internet searches have all come up with SCSI converters, but since both the BitAlyzer and the Agilent transceiver have SMA connectors I'd rather not mess around with parallel differential signals and a SERDES. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Also, why not simply use an ECL buffer?

ref. voltage on one end of the diff. input or do the same
with a line receiver/buffer close to the SE source.
