1. OVERVIEW
The 7700ADA-ETSI High Amplitude Distribution Amplifier is a general purpose amplifier with an equalizing
function for distributing a wide range of digital and analog signals. It has been designed to distribute
pulses and signals up to ±3.5V ITU-T G.703 E12 (Physical/electrical characteristics of hierarchical digital
interface at 2048kb/s) signals. The 7700ADA-ETSI features one balanced equalized input with four
outputs.
The 7700ADA-ETSI occupies one card slot and can be housed in a 1RU frame which will hold up to 3
modules, a 3RU frame which will hold up to 15 modules, a 350FR portable frame which will hold up to 7
modules or a standalone enclosure that will hold 1 module.
Features:
•75 Ohm input impedance
•Distribute signals up to ±3.5V to 30MHz
•High common mode range and common mode rejection ratio (CMRR)
•±5.5dB Gain control range
•Jumper selectable AC or DC coupling
•Cable equalizer adjustment range: 0 to 300m of Belden 8281 or 1694A
•Consistent input impedance if card power is lost

2. INSTALLATION
The 7700ADA-ETSI comes with a companion rear panel and occupies one slot in the 7700FR frame.
Figure 2-1 shows a diagram of the rear panel. For information on inserting the module into the frame see
the 7700FR manual section 3.
Figure 2-1: Rear Panel
INPUT: Isolated BNC connector for input signal. The input signal is terminated with 75 ohms. The
INPUT jumper located on the module near the back determines whether the input signal will
be AC or DC coupled. (See section 6.2)
OUT 1 to 4: There are four BNC connectors with equalized and level adjusted copies of the input signal.

4. STATUS LEDS
Two large LEDs on the front of the board indicate the general health of the module.
LOCAL FAULT: This Red LED indicates poor module health and will be illuminated when a local
input power fault exists (i.e.: a blown fuse). The LOCAL FAULT indication can also
be reported to the frame through the FRAME STATUS jumper.
MODULE OK: This Green LED indicates good module health. It will be On when the board power
is good.

5. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The input signal enters the board through a BNC with isolated ground so that balanced input processing
may be done to remove any common mode hum that may have been added to the signal and ground
shield. The input coupling (AC/DC) can be selected using an on-board jumper (J4).
An adjustable gain stage feeds the cable equalizer that can adjust the frequency response to match the
attenuation of up to 300m of coaxial cable. One OP-Amp drives the four output BNC's with 75-Ohm output
impedance.

6.1. SELECTING WHETHER LOCAL FAULTS WILL BE MONITORED
BY THE GLOBAL FRAME STATUS
The FRAME STATUS jumper J1, located at the front of the module, determines whether local faults (as
shown by the Local Fault indicator) will be connected to the 7700FR frame's global status bus.
FRAME STATUS: To monitor faults on this module with the frame status indicators (on the power
supply’s FRAME STATUS LEDs and on the Frame's Fault Tally output) install this
jumper in the On position.
When this jumper is installed in the Off position local faults on this module will not
be monitored.
6.2. SELECTING THE INPUT AC/DC COUPLING
The input may be AC or DC (default) coupled into the input-circuitry using jumper J4. In some non-video
applications that do not have DC information (i.e. digital AES audio), AC coupling can be used to remove
any DC level that may have built up in its transmission.
6.3. GAIN ADJUSTMENT
The GAIN POT on the cards front edge allows you to adjust the input signal level. Turning the POT
clockwise will increase the gain.

6.4. CABLE EQUALIZATION OPERATION
With the cable equalizer EQCTRL POT set fully counter-clockwise, the cable equalizer will be set to the
"zero length". As you turn the POT clockwise, more cable equalization is added. To set the POT to the
correct position, perform the following calibration:
1. Supply the cable being equalized with a frequency response test signal.
2. Make sure the driving level from the test generator is calibrated to unity.
3. Set the cable type jumper (J6) to the type of cable you are using (either 8281 or 1694). If you are using
a different type, then use either setting.
4. Make sure the test gear is terminated properly.
5. Calibrate the GAIN level POT for unity output at low frequencies.
6. Adjust the "EQCTRL" POT until the 7700ADA-ETSI output signal has flat frequency response.
