PO100HSTL23A

We just finished testing this device (PO100HSTL23A) in several circuits
on a new product and found its performance to be OUTSTANDING. We are
definitely going to look at using it in our other products to improve
yield and jitter performance. The ability to drive different impedance
loads with well behaved "fast" edges (on-board as well as coax cables)
with very little power supply noise is amazing.

I just want to thank your company for making this product. We will
seriously be looking at your other products to see how we can use them
in existing and future products.

Lastly, if you want to send us some literature on how you pulled this
off I would be very interested. I would also appreciate any Spice
models if you have any available. They can be pseudo models as long as
their transmission line properties are retained.

Thanks,
