Keysight/Agilent E8312A Pulse Pattern Generator
The E8312A Pulse Pattern Generator from Keysight (formerly from Agilent) delivers dual-channel digital signal generation capabilities. The unit supports frequencies among 1 MHz and 330 MHz during precise timing operations efficiently. The module is register based and occupies one VXI C-size slot within automated platforms requiring efficient hardware integration procedures. It provides two differential output channels using SMA female 3.5 millimeter connectors. Each channel supports 16 Kbit pattern memory for storing complex digital sequences during repetitive validation procedures successfully efficiently. The unit generates PRBS patterns alongside RZ, NRZ and DNRZ formats for comprehensive digital interface characterization requirements. The selectable transition times between 0.8 nanoseconds and 1.6 nanoseconds support controlled edge performance. The Pulse Pattern Generator maintains output amplitudes between 100 millivolts and 3.8 volts during continuous operation efficiently.
The unit uses a fixed 50 Ohm output impedance that ensures consistent signal transmission characteristics across interconnected testing equipment. It has a period RMS jitter performance rated at 0.001 percent plus 15 pico-seconds under specifications. The variable delay adjustments between zero nanoseconds and 999.5 seconds allow synchronized measurements. The broad synchronization functions enable reliable trigger coordination during advanced radar testing and serial communication verification procedures. The module allows functional verification by involving high-speed digital and mixed-signal semiconductor devices. Clock generation capabilities simplify synchronization processes within automated manufacturing systems. The module can be used to evaluate flash memory using reliable pulse generation and reproducible waveform timing requirements. Programmable signal transitions provide efficient protocol timing verification for connected interfaces while the serial bus testing applications provide it for all of them.
The E8312A Pulse Pattern Generator offers stable trigger input organization with high control of the production testing. Timing parameters continue to be adjustable over different amplitude and offset. The accurate synchronization capability enables radar test procedures requiring stable timing relationships between inter-connected electronic instrumentation platforms to be followed for a sustained period of time. The module architecture allows to generate deterministic signals in a complex automated testing sequence with an extended validation procedure. The VXI plug and play software drivers can be used for simplified functioning with automated setups. The differential output architecture ensures signal quality for high-speed measurements.
