Charles,

ADA4817  has a very high input impedance (I think in parallel with 1-2pF) and 
works well up to 500MHz.

Alternatives are

AD8000
LTC6417
EL5166
LTC6409
LM301
CLC425
LMH6629
OPA687

All of them are trade-offs between impedance, noise and bandwidth.

David

Subject: [SI-LIST] Measuring HF signals with no corruption.

Hello,
We need to use a high speed clock from our mother board to enable a functional 
check circuit.  One of the obvious constraints is that the signal "tap" is not 
permitted to change the signal in any way.

One solution would be to use opamps (which have a high z input) however I 
cannot seem to find a solution that is fast enough. (The signal is LVDS based 
and the spec says the 20-80 rise time min is 500ps running at 200MHz)

My initial thought is that I would need a gain/bw product of around 1GHz.
Does this august body agree?

That being the case - would someone be so kind as to point me at a part that 
might work?

Best Regards
