Synchronized Operation
You can connect multiple VB8300s for synchronized operation. You can also connect
VB8000s for synchronized operation.
Clock Synchronization
The VB8300 generates waveforms by synchronizing to the internal or external clock
signal. This clock signal can be used to achieve synchronized operation. For
specifications of the VB8300 clock signal input/output terminal (CLOCK OUT and
CLOCK IN), see section 13.2.

Note
•
If the external clock input of the VB8300 is used, the signal received from the external clock
input terminal is valid starting with the rising edge of the third clock cycle.
•
When synchronizing the operation of multiple VB8300s or VB8000s, you can align (adjust)
the start positions of the output waveforms between signal generators by setting an output
shift (delay on the VB8000).
•
If the signal generator receiving the external clock is a VB8300, set the output shift to set
the start point of waveform generation forward.
•
If the VB8000 is outputting the external clock, set the delay to delay the VB8000 waveform
generation. For the procedure of synchronized operation of VB8000s, see the
