    Introduction 1 Introduction The Model MCCD is a fast pulse distributor intended to be used with multiple MCS8A modules. It is also a very good general-purpose pulse generator when multiple synchronized jitter-free signals are required. It expands one common START signal to several synchronous starting MCS8A units. The introduced additional time jitter is typical less than 0.075 ps rms.

    Hardware Description 2.3 Rear Panel, Clock Fan-out Fig. 2.3: The MCCD Rear Panel At the rear panel a clock source (TTL 3.3V, 10 to 120 MHz) can be distributed from a BNC connector labeled CLOCK IN to eight synchronous output signals at BNC connectors CLK1 - CLK8. Termination of the clock input can be set to 50 Ohm or 3 kOhm with JP2.
