Accuracy ±5% ± 500 ps
Transition time range (10/90) 5 ns to 200 ms variable
Accuracy ±10% ±200 ps
Linearity 3% typ. for transitions > 100 ns
1. Changing of amplitude may add 0.5 ns.
2. Width accuracy specification is valid up to 5.5 Vpp amplitude. Above this amplitude, the width
will typically increase up to 300 ps.
Timing Characteristics
Measured at 50% amplitude at fastest transitions in continuous mode and 50 Ω source impedance.
Transition times: These can be entered
as leading/trailing edge or % of width.
Leading and trailing edges are indepen-
dent within one of the following over-
lapping segments (1:20 ratio):
• 5 ns - 20 ns
• 10 ns - 200 ns
• 100 ns - 2 µs
• 1µs - 20 µs
• 10 µs - 200 µs
• 100 µs - 2 ms
• 1 ms - 20 ms
• 10 ms - 200 ms
Data Sheet 81100 Family of Pulse Pattern Generators 3
Repeatability: Is typically four times better
than accuracy
Output timing fidelity: Period, delay and
width are continuously variable without
any output glitches or dropouts.
