The Tektronix PG509 is a pulse generator for use in TM500-series systems. Driving a 50-ohm load, it produces a rectangular positive pulse waveform with:

  • 25V amplitude,
  • 44ns pulse width,
  • 50kHz repetition rate, and
  • 350ps risetime.

The PG509 is intended for use as a stimulus for making measurements. It uses an avalanche transistor and charge line to generate the output pulse.
