Pulse GeneratorsThis section describes the HP 8130 and the HP 8131 pulse generators. HP 8130 Pulse GeneratorThe HP 8130 is a programmable pulse generator controllable by IC-CAP. It provides excellent features for time-domain characterization using pulse stimuli. The following pulse characteristics are programmable:
IC-CAP assigns the following name to the channel 1 output unit:
The HP 8130 offers a fixed source impedance of 50 ohms. Pulse period can be varied from 3 nsec to 99.9 msec. Rise and falltimes can be varied from 670 psec to 100 sec. The output voltage range is from -5.2 to +5.2V, but the maximum voltage swing must be less than or equal to 5.2V. A complementary output signal is available (refer to the following table). A Setup configured for measurements using the HP 8130, along with HP 54120 Series digitizing oscilloscopes is in the model file 54120.demo.mdl. Additional information about this demonstration file is available in Appendix G, "54120 Demo." These files also include examples using an HP 54120 Series oscilloscope with no pulse generator, or with a manually controlled pulse generator. The "54120 Demo" also provides hints for obtaining good alignment between measured and simulated waveforms. The following table describes the HP 8131 options and their default values, where applicable.
HP 8131 Pulse GeneratorThe HP 8131 is a programmable pulse generator controllable by IC-CAP. It provides excellent features for time-domain characterization using pulse stimuli. The following pulse characteristics are programmable:
IC-CAP assigns the following name to the channel 1 output unit: The HP 8131 offers a fixed source impedance of 50 ohms. Pulse period can be varied from 2 nsec to 99.9 msec. Rise and fall times are fixed <200 psec; if >200 psec, IC-CAP will issue a warning PULSE1 Rise/Fall time fixed at less than 200ps. The output voltage range is from -5.0 to +5.0V; the maximum voltage swing must be less than or equal to 5.0V. The offset voltage is from -4.95V to +4.95V. A complementary output signal is available (refer to the following table). A Setup configured for measurements using the HP 8131, along with HP 54120 Series digitizing oscilloscopes is in the model file 54120.demo.mdl. Additional information about this demonstration file is available Appendix G, "54120 Demo." These files also include examples using a HP 54120 Series oscilloscope without a pulse generator, or with a manually controlled pulse generator. The "54120 Demo" also provides hints for obtaining good alignment between measured and simulated waveforms. The following table describes the HP 8131 options and their default values, where applicable.
