PulseBlasterESR-PRO-II
I. Introduction
Product Overview
The PulseBlasterESR-PRO-II
device is a high speed, multichannel pulse/pattern generator. The
PulseBlasterESR-PRO-II features a new control unit that allows for functionality not found in the
PulseBlasterESR-PRO. This device can generate a unique output for each channel every clock period.
There is currently one PulseBlasterESR-PRO-II model offered by SpinCore Technologies, Inc, the 250
MHz model. The PulseBlasterESR-PRO-II 250 MHz model features 24 output channels with 8k words.
Pulse resolution is one clock period. This allows the device to create pulse sequences with durations or
gaps as short as one clock period. Pulse sequences attributes can be configured in any combination of the
one clock period resolution (see Figure 1 for example pulse sequences).
Figure 1 below shows an example timing diagram of arbitrary pulse sequences utilizing four output
channels. This example only shows four channels, but up to 24 channels are supported. Pulse sequences
can have duration as short as one clock period (see beginning of the pulse sequence in Channel 3), or any
length supported by the resolution (e.g. 2 clock periods, 3 clock periods, etc.). Using the internal 250 MHz
clock signal, pulse resolution is 4 ns. If additional performance is needed, please contact SpinCore
Technologies, Inc.
