Impulse Forming Networks PSPL5208, PSPL5210 Datasheet These components are proprietary, passive Impulse Forming Networks (IFNs). They have the unique property of providing an output that is approximately the derivative of the input waveform while also maintaining an excellent impedance match on all ports. V(out) Tc * dV(in) / dt Where Tc is the derivative time coefficient. When driven by a step, the output is an impulse. When driven by an impulse, the output is a monocycle. The various models are optimized for use with different input risetimes. A third IFN port is labeled "DC" and terminated in 50 . A DC baseline offset, bias voltage, and/or a slower risetime, pedestal pulse may be connected to this DC port.
