Pico Technology - PICOSOURCE PG914 - PICOSOURCE PG914 - Pulse Generator, Pulse, 4 Channel, 1 GHz, PicoSource PG900 Series

ITEM #: 16956378
Product Overview

The PICOSOURCE PG914 from Pico Technology is a PicoSource PG900 series USB differential pulse generator with 1GHz bandwidth and 4 analogue channels. It is based on step recovery diode (SRD) technology and tunnel diode (TD) technology. This PC based fast edge pulse generator is fully compatible with USB 2.0 and 3.0 PCs It is a versatile, portable triggered differential USB pulse generator low jitter triggered differential USB pulse generator. Pulse outputs are optimized for broad spectral content (fastest transition time) to best suit spectral and time domain transmission and reflectometry measurements. An internal clock is provided for stand alone, self triggered operation and trigger input and output allow generators to source or respond to system triggers. Differential outputs ensure that the proliferation of gigabit differential interconnects and systems can all be addressed (SATA, USB3, HDMI, Ethernet).
