AG81110A Pulse Signal Generator

The AG81110A is a 165 MHz pulse/pattern generator. Its core function is to generate square waves and digital patterns with extremely fast rise/fall times, precise level control, and low jitter for testing high-speed digital devices.

Key Features and Functions
Frequency and Rate:

Maximum clock frequency of 165 MHz.

Maximum data rate of 330 Mbps (as it can trigger on both the rising and falling edges of the clock).

Exceptional Edge Speed:

Features extremely fast rise/fall times, typically <1 ns. This is a key metric for its performance as a high-speed pulse generator, enabling it to produce very sharp and clear digital pulses.

Precise Output Levels:

Provides two independent output channels (Channel A and B).

The level of each channel (high level Vh, low level Vl) can be set independently, typically within the range of -2V to +5V, with high resolution.

This is crucial for matching the threshold voltages of different logic families (such as TTL, LVDS, PECL, CMOS).

Flexible Pattern Generation:

Built-in pattern generator: Can generate pseudo-random binary sequences (PRBS), all "0"s, all "1"s, and user-defined patterns.

External modulation: Supports inputting data from an external source and outputting it synchronized with the internal clock.

Jitter Injection and Measurement:

Some models may feature jitter injection capability, allowing controlled jitter to be intentionally added to the output signal for testing system tolerance to jitter.

Main Application Areas
The AG81110A is primarily used for testing and validation of digital integrated circuits and systems:

High-speed digital design: Provides high-quality clock and reference signals for FPGAs, ASICs, and high-speed serial links.

Memory testing: Used to test timing parameters of memories such as DDR SDRAM.

Data converter testing: Provides extremely low-jitter sampling clocks for high-speed ADCs (analog-to-digital converters) and DACs (digital-to-analog converters). The jitter of the clock directly affects the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the converters.

Jitter and timing margin testing: Tests the performance limits of receivers by injecting jitter.
In summary, the AG81110A is a precision tool focused on the digital domain. It does not aim to generate complex analog waveforms but is dedicated to outputting the most "perfect" and "controllable" digital pulses and clock signals, making it an essential instrument for debugging and validating high-speed digital circuits.
