Keysight Technologies 81134A Manual
Content is AI-generated. Verify critical details with manufacturer-provided resources.
What is the frequency range of the Keysight 81134A pulse generator?
The Keysight 81134A operates over a frequency range from 15 MHz to 3.35 GHz. This broad range makes it ideal for testing logic devices including ECL, LVDS, and LVPECL with clock rates across this entire spectrum. The instrument automatically ensures output signals remain above the 15 MHz minimum threshold when using frequency divider settings.
How many independent output channels does the 81134A provide?
The 81134A is a dual channel pulse generator, providing two completely independent output channels. Each channel has both a normal and inverted output, and includes its own delay control input for jitter modulation. Each channel can be configured separately for different signal types, patterns, timing, and voltage levels.
What is the transition time specification for the 81134A pulse generator?
The 81134A offers fast transition times of less than 60 ps. These fast transition times combined with low jitter and high accuracy make the 81134A well-suited for applications requiring precise timing and clean signal edges for high-speed digital device testing.
What voltage amplitude range can the 81134A generate?
The 81134A can generate voltage amplitudes from 50 mV to 2.00 V. It includes predefined level settings for commonly used logic families including ECL, LVPECL, and LVDS, simplifying setup for standard applications. Users can also define custom high and low voltage levels to match specific device requirements.
What PRBS patterns does the 81134A support for eye diagram measurements?
The 81134A supports pseudo-random binary sequences (PRBS) from 2^5-1 through 2^31-1, providing comprehensive pattern options for evaluating device performance in eye diagram measurements. The PRBS capability combined with the instrument's variable crossover feature and jitter modulation allows creation of stressed eye patterns for robust device characterization.
How much pattern memory is available in the 81134A?
The 81134A provides 12 Mbit of pattern memory per channel, allowing creation of large custom data patterns. Patterns can be configured in NRZ, RZ, or R1 format and support burst capability for generating complex signal sequences. This substantial memory depth supports a wide range of test applications requiring arbitrary pattern generation.
What is the delay modulation range for adding jitter to signals on the 81134A?
The 81134A offers a delay modulation (jitter) range of plus or minus 250 ps or plus or minus 25 ps selectable. This is applied via the Delay Control Input on each channel, allowing external signals to modulate the timing of the generated pulses or patterns. This feature is valuable for stress testing receivers and evaluating jitter tolerance in high-speed digital communication systems.
What remote control interfaces are available on the 81134A?
The 81134A provides three remote programming interfaces: GPIB, USB, and LAN (Ethernet). All interfaces support full instrument control using SCPI commands, providing flexibility for integration into automated test systems. The rear panel houses all three interface connectors along with the power connector for convenient rack mounting and system integration.
