Inverting Transformer
PSPL5100 Datasheet
The PSPL5100 Invert ing Transformer is probably the world's
fastest pulse inverting transformer. Its risetime is 15 ps with a -
3 dB bandwidth from 200 kHz to 23 GHz. It passes fast
risetime pulses with a minimum of waveform distortion. A flat
top pulse passing through the inverter has less than 2% sag in
15 ns. The 5100 can also be used for RF and microwave
applications.
