The Tektronix PG501 is a 50 MHz pulse generator plug-in for the TM500 system.
Key Specifications
Outputs | simultaneous positive and negative output pulses, fixed 5 ns rise/fall times, independently variable amplitudes from 0.5 V to 5 V into 50 Ω |
---|---|
Pulse period | 20 ns to 20 ms calibrated, 1:10 variable to 200 ms, or externally triggered |
Pulse duration | 10 ns to 10 ms calibrated, 1:10 variable to 100 ms, external duration, or "locked on" to adjust output voltage |
Trigger input | ≥+1 V High, ≤0.1 V low; max. +5 V DC+peak AC; min. 10 ns on/off; triggers duration generator in Ext Trig mode, controls output in Ext Duration mode |
Pre-trigger output | 8 ns before main output, 1 V into 50 Ω |
Rear Interface
- 27B, 28A (GND 27A, 28B) – pre-trigger output, 10 ns before main output, 1 V from 27 Ω source impedance
- 25A (GND 26A) – averaged amplitude output, internally connected to +out or -out via 27 kΩ/20 nF, or disconnected
- 24B (GND 25B) – available to connect in parallel to front panel Trig/Duration Input (connecting cable to be user-installed)
Internals
The PG501 uses discrete transistors except for a single MC10105L ECL integrated circuit.
