Introduction
1.1
Overview
The PicoSource PG900 Series instruments are PC-based fast-edge pulse generators
that are fully compatible with USB 2.0 and 3.0 PCs.
The pulse generators are available in three differential output models and offer
extensive control over pulse parameters including amplitude, period, width and
deskew between output channels.
PicoSource PG911:
A two-channel pulse generator based on Step-Recovery Diode
(SRD) technology. It produces two pulses with opposite
polarity, up to 6 V amplitude with 60 ps rise time.
PicoSource PG912:
A two-channel pulse generator based on Tunnel Diode (TD)
technology. It is supplied with small remote tunnel diode
pulse heads that generate positive and negative 200 mV
pulses with 40 ps rise time.
PicoSource PG914:
A four-channel pulse generator based on both SRD and TD
technologies. It can produce two pulses with opposite polarity,
up to 6 V amplitude with 60 ps rise time, and two pulses with
opposite polarity, 200 mV amplitude and 40 ps rise time from
remote tunnel diode pulse heads.
PicoSource Pulse Generators are capable of producing pulses of either polarity with
very fast rise times. The generators will free-run or may be triggered from an external
source, with either positive or negative pulses, at rates of up to 1 MHz. The units are
designed to operate into 50 Ω lines.
The PicoSource instruments can be used as:
general-purpose pulse generators for the testing of semiconductors, components,
networks, electro-optical components etc.
fast rise/fall time step generators which can be used to check the dynamic
response of wide-band oscilloscopes and amplifiers
a stimulus for high-resolution TDR and TDT measurements
a step source for an ultra-wideband impulse forming network
For basic instructions on installing and using your pulse generator, please refer to
or the Quick Start Guide supplied with your instrument.
