== Vertical Signal Path ==
Each of the three plug-in bays in the 11401 has a dedicated sampler.
The sampling clock is common to the three samplers.
The sampling pulse is generated by an ECL 2-input OR gate being fed SAMPLE_CLOCK and delay_5ns(invert(SAMPLE_CLOCK)).
This produces 5ns pulses with rise time around 1 ns.
The 5ns pulses are fed to a discrete NPN differential pair operating in a clipping current-switch mode,
resulting in faster edges.
The output of the differential pair drive a strobe generator IC, U1040, which is an M453 die,
packaged as part number [[155-0320-00]] or 155-0320-01, depending on the mainframe's serial number.
U1040 has three sampling strobe outputs, which are fed to the sampling gates.
