6. Technical Specifications and Features 

 

• 

Low Jitter Design: typical 2.5 ns (PLL / Test), < 1 ns (Masterclock) 

• 

Input PLL ensures zero dropout, even at more than 40 ns jitter

 

• 

High sensitive input stage works from 1 Vpp input level 

• 

Rejects DC offsets in the word clock net 

• 

Overvoltage protected input stage 

• 

Short protected output stage 

• 

Frequency range PLL input: 27 kHz - 102 kHz 

• 

Frequency range output: 27 kHz - 102 kHz 

• 

Input BNC, high impedance (> 10 kOhm) 

• 

Output BNC, low impedance (10 Ohm) 

• 

Power supply: from DIGI96 series board, 12 V DC, 40 mA 

• 

Standard slot, board dimensions 97 x 50 mm 

 
 

7. Hardware Installation

 

 

Important: Switch off the computer and remove the power cable from the power supply 
before fitting the 

WCM

.

 

 

1. Disconnect the power cord and all other cables from the computer. 
2. Remove the computer's housing; further information on how to do this can be obtained from 

your computer´s instruction manual. 

3. Neutralize the static build up by touching the computer's metal-chassis before unpacking the 

WCM 

from the protective bag. 

4. Connect 

WCM

 and 

DIGI

 using the supplied 3-wire cables. Plug one end into the connec-

tor 

ST 7

 on the 

DIGI

, the other end into 

ST 7

 on the 

WCM

. Note: The cable's connectors 

will automatically plug in with the correct polarity. 

5. Connect 

ST 6

 on the 

WCM

 with 

ST 6

 on the 

DIGI.

 In case several 

DIGIs

 are fitted, up 

to three can be connected to the module. 

6. Insert 

WCM

 into a free slot, press and fasten the screw (if any). As the 

WCM

 needs no 

slot on the motherboard we recommend to use a free slot above the last PCI- or AGP slot. 

7. Reinsert the 

DIGIs 

in their PCI slots and fasten the screws (if any). 

8. Replace the computer's housing and tighten the screws (if any). 
9. Reconnect the power cable and all other cables/connections.
