Mentor CX
Word Clock, 10 MHz and 27 MHz
The word clock, 10 MHz and 27 MHz signals from the Mentor RG are transmitted as 75 Ω BNC
outputs. The maximum amplitude the unit has to cope with is 10V peak to peak. The signal type is
automatically detected and reported.
The following error causes a failure condition:
•
Peak-to-peak signal level <320 mV.

Each option module provides two changeover “channels”, where a channel comprises two inputs
(A and B) plus one switched output. The module may be fitted in any of the six available option slots.
Mentor CX uses the high density ‘Micro BNC’ connector type, which is interchangeable with the
Amphenol ‘HD BNC’ range. The image below shows the option module fitted in the last available
option slot, numbered 17/18.
