The HFS9009 is a generator from Tektronix. A signal generator is a device that creates electronic signals, repeating or non-repeating, in the digital or analog domains, depending on need. Signal generators design, test, troubleshoot, and repair electronic devices across many different industries and applications.
Additional Features:
Frequency Range: 50 kHz to 630 MHz
Frequency Resolution: <0.1% of programmed value
Frequency Accuracy: ±1% of programmed value
RMS Jitter: 15 ps ±0.05% of interval
Phase Lock In Frequency Range: 6 MHz to 630 MHz
Phase Lock In Amplitude Range: 0.8 V to 1.0 Vp-p
The HFS9009 Stimulus System combines the capabilities of a complete data generator, pulse generator, and switch matrix in a single instrument. Together with a high-speed digitizing oscilloscope, the HFS9009 provides a complete device characterization and test solution with unsurpassed accuracy and repeatability.
Some of the outstanding characteristics of the HFS9009 are as follows:
Multi-channel stimulus — The HFS9009 can be configured with up to 36 channels of output in one mainframe, and up to 640 channels across multiple phase-locked systems.
Independent edge placement — This feature can be applied to all channels and is especially useful in characterizing synchronous components.
Up to 1 ps timing resolution — The timing resolution is an order of magnitude greater than typical ECL gate delays. Combined with the multi-channel capability, this allows for setup and hold time margin testing by providing clock, data, set, and reset signals to the device under test.
Advanced trigger features — The triggering is designed specifically to help in device characterization. Phase lock lets you synchronize the HFS9009 to other signal sources. Trigger out deskew eliminates the timing delays introduced by cabling.
Mixed logic family testing — The HFS9009 can be configured to combine different kinds of pulse output in the same mainframe for characterizing mixed-logic components.
Exceptionally flexible formatting — A high-speed card can provide data at a rate of up to 630 MB/sec, with a transition time of less than 250 ps. A variable rate card has a variable transition time between 800 ps to 6 ns.
Fully programmable digital architecture — The HFS9009 is a digital instrument throughout. This means that the HFS9009 can be fully programmed through either the GPIB or RS-232-C interface. Programmed control is essential for automated, repeatable tests. In addition, the program capability of the HFS9009 means that it will fit easily into your automated test system. A complete automated test facility can be configured from an HFS9009, a controller such as a PC, and a high-speed acquisition system such as the Tektronix 11801B Digital Sampling Oscilloscope.
Graphic display — Sample waveforms show how the controls are set, and indicate visually the parameter that a particular control governs.
BitWriter Software — (Optional) This software package provides a Microsoft Windows environment in which to program the HFS9009 using an IBM-PC compatible computer. (The PC must include at least an 80386 processor with 640 kbytes minimum , a color monitor, a high-density 5.25-inch or 3.5-inch disk drive, a GPIB card, and a mouse.)
