Introduction to the Agilent 81133A/81134A Pulse Generator Benefits and Key Features

14 Agilent 81133A/81134A Pulse Generator User’s Guide, September 2008

Benefits and Key Features

Your advantages are:

• Fast rise times, low jitter and full parameter flexibility

When timing is critical, the 81133A/81134A’s fast rise times, the

low jitter and full parameter flexibility make it an ideal pulse,

clock and data source.

•PRBS from 2

-1 … 2

-1

You can evaluate the performance of a device in eye diagram

measurements with PRBS from 2

-1 … 2

-1.

• Full signal manipulation

You can add jitter to clock or data signals with the Delay

Control Input and deform the eye with the Variable Crossover

feature.

• Predefined levels

You can use the predefined levels to easily set up channels for

commonly used logic families. These are: ECL, LVPECL, LVDS.

• Data can be 8 kB of pattern memory

You can create large data patterns with 8 kB of pattern

memory.
