Stress Testing Your Device with Simulated Waveforms

Stress Testing Your Device with Simulated Waveforms

Digital components and circuits must be able to withstand a certain amount of noise and jitter in clock and data signals to ensure the reliable operation of your device. If they do not, the result could be communication errors or system failures. Noise, jitter, cross talk, and reflections can cause signal distortions. Transient signal spikes can appear to be valid clocks, or the receiving system might misinterpret data. Such effects cause system failures. The design must minimize distortions to ensure accurate and reliable operation. Therefore, engineers need to stress their devices with these kinds of distortions during design, validation, and production. Stress testing provides valuable insight into the performance of your device under extreme load. Identifying the potential breaking points in your application will allow you to correct them before they become expensive production issues. Engineers must test the limits of their designs to ensure that the products achieve ideal maximum performance and the new hardware meets design specifications across the full range of operations. This white paper discusses the importance of stress testing and explains how to use a function generator to simulate the waveform and stress test your device.

How to Easily Create an Arbitrary Waveform Without Programming

How to Easily Create an Arbitrary Waveform Without Programming

Creating arbitrary waveforms on a modern function generator or arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is not as difficult as you might think. Many engineers try to avoid creating arbitrary waveforms (arbs) at all costs. When they hear the word “arb“, they picture the tedious process of learning how to use some type of waveform software or, worse yet, having to write a program to generate a waveform and then remotely connecting to your AWG to upload the arb. With modern AWGs, creating an arbitrary waveform no longer has to be looked upon with doom and gloom.

Using a Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator to Generate Pulses

Using a Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator to Generate Pulses

Function generators offer quite a bit of flexibility for creating pulses from simple modified square waves to arbitrary waveforms. Some function generators may even have special hardware added to generate very accurate pulses. For high-speed pulse applications, a dedicated pulse generator will be necessary and will offer additional features for creating pulses.
