Keysight Pulse Generators

Videos

This video introduces Keysight Pulse Generators, designed for high‑speed pulse creation and timing‑critical testing across digital, RF, and mixed‑signal environments. These instruments deliver fast edge transitions, finely controlled pulse parameters, and extremely low intrinsic jitter, enabling reliable generation of clock, trigger, and data signals for applications such as high‑speed serial‑link characterization, timing‑margin analysis, semiconductor validation, and precise synchronization tasks. With programmable voltage levels, wide bandwidth, and comprehensive timing controls, Keysight pulse generators offer the accuracy required for demanding R&D and system‑integration workflows.

Pulse generators support both standard and advanced pulse patterns with picosecond‑level jitter performance, minimizing timing uncertainty during critical measurements. Engineers can generate finely tuned pulses for component and subsystem validation, produce wideband trigger signals, and evaluate device responses under fast‑changing stimulus conditions. Flexible triggering, which supports internal, external, manual, gated, and burst modes, allows precise reproduction of real world timing events. Programmable trigger delays further enhance timing‑alignment capabilities for margin testing and synchronous system operation.
 

Key features include:

  • Pulse Signal Generation: Create finely controlled pulse and pattern signals with fast edge transitions, low intrinsic jitter, and programmable voltage levels for clock, trigger, and data applications.
  • Low Intrinsic Jitter: Achieve highly accurate timing with jitter performance down to a few picoseconds, ideal for timing‑critical components and high‑speed serial links.
  • Flexible Triggering: Use internal/external triggering, manual mode, gated operation, burst mode, and programmable delays to replicate real‑world timing scenarios.
  • Remote Programmability: Integrate into automated test systems using USB, LAN, or GPIB for high‑throughput testing and remote instrument control.
     

Pulse Generators provide high‑quality signal creation with low jitter, flexible triggering, and remote programmability. Engineers working on high‑speed digital, RF, and mixed‑signal systems can rely on Keysight pulse generators for accurate timing, reliable synchronization, and repeatable high‑performance pulse generation.
