The Tektronix AFG5101 is a programmable arbitrary/function generator plug-in for the TM5000 system. The plug-in is three compartments wide.

The AFG5501 is the same device in a mainframe of its own.

Key Specifications

Frequency range	Sine, Square, Triangle 0.012 Hz to 12 MHz; Arbitrary
Duty cycle	7% to 93%
Rise/Fall	<15 ns (Square)
Output	10 mV_p-p to 9.90 V_p-p (50 Ω), max. 19.98 V_p-p unloaded
Amplitude flatness	±3 dB over full frequency range, ±0.5 dB from 0.012 Hz to 120 kHz
Distortion	≤ 0.6% (≤ 1% for full temperature range) from 121 Hz to 120 kHz
Sweep	linear, logarithmic or arbitrary sweep

Options

Option 02: Frequency locked synthesizer for enhanced frequency stability

Internals

The CPU in the AFG5101 is an Intel 8085, the GPIB interface is implemented using an Intel 8291.

The backplane connectors used in this unit are DIN41612, or Eurocard connectors. The required extender cables can be easily made up using these connectors with ribbon cable to allow for adjustment and calibration.
