8133A Overview 10-Feb04 Page A Overview 1) Specifications and Applications

8133A Overview 10-Feb04 Page A Key Specifications 33 MHz to 3 GHz Pulse Generator up to 3.0 Vp-p Amplitude Transition Times < 60 ps (20% - 80%) Differential outputs Inter channel delay & deskew capability Optional second pulse or pulse/data channel (PRBS ) Programmable by SCPI commands via GPIB

8133A Overview 10-Feb04 Page A Application Examples High speed clock generation up to 3 GHz System Trigger source PRBS generation for BER measurements Stimulating high speed data and telecommunication devices for characterization and functional test

8133A Overview 10-Feb04 Page A Training Agenda 2) Operational Overview

8133A Overview 10-Feb04 Page A Operating Concept Access to all variable pulse parameters by push buttons and vernier keys PRBS Hardware generated 32 bit free programmable memory All parameters are remote programmable via GP-IB by SCPI commands

8133A Overview 10-Feb04 Page A Data Generation Hardware Generated PRBS based on a polynomial does not use up data memory 32 bits of Memory Depth free programmable by vernier keys to set logical ‘1’ and ‘0’ Up to 3 GBit/s signal data rate in NRZ or RZ data format

8133A Overview 10-Feb04 Page A Pulse Period Setting Period range is 330 ps to ns represents frequency range from 33.3 MHz to GHz System clock for single or dual channel instruments Minimum resolution is 1 ps Accuracy is ±0.5 % (±0.1 % typical) External clock mode available, range 33 MHz to 3 GHz Instrument is not triggerable

8133A Overview 10-Feb04 Page A Delay & Deskew Setting When Option 001, 002 or 003 installed Maximum range for delay & deskew is ns to ns Set in reference to the trigger output Can be set individually for each channel Minimum resolution is 1 ps Accuracy is +/- 50 ps Press delay button twice to enter deskew mode

8133A Overview 10-Feb04 Page A Width/Duty Cycle Setting Width range is 150 ps to period ps Maximum width setting is 10,000 ps = ns Minimum resolution is 1 ps Accuracy +/- 100 ps Duty Cycle is subject to Width and Period, range 0% to 100%

8133A Overview 10-Feb04 Page A Programmable Output Levels Instrument is over-programmable to achieve the specified amplitude. Amplitude doubles into open circuits.
