PG-1000 Fast Rise Time Pulse Generator

Pulse generator

Picosecond Pulse Generator

The Pulse Rider Series includes a set of fast rise time pulse generators, that offer premium signal integrity with the easiest to use touch screen display interface (SimpleRider™), that allows pulse creation in few screen touches.

The signal output Voltage can be adjusted up to 5 Volts pk-pk in a window of ±5 Volts with 70 ps edge rate.

The powerful architecture provides the possibility to generate advanced pulse sequences, such as double pulse or quad pulse, with fully independent timing parameters. The maximum repetition rate of Pulse Rider Pulse Generator is 800MHz and the minimum pulse width is 300 ps @ 5V

Take a look to the video below to see how to create a sub-nano second pulse, or download the full documentation in the doc section below, to learn more.

Semiconductor Applications

Newer technologies applied on the Non-Volatile RAM require faster pulses every day: Active Technologies Pulse Rider with transition time under 70 ps, an amplitude up to 5 Vpp, and a time resolution of 10 ps combined to the vertical resolution of 10 mV is the perfect choice for those kinds of requirements.

Developing modern MOSFET transistor, the challenge is to use high κ material for the dielectric in MOS capacitor, this give the advantage of reduce the leakage current through the isolator but at the same time, it causes some problem due to charge trapping. Short and Slow Pulses tests are fundamental techniques to study those kinds of problems.

The Active Technologies Pulse Rider PG-1000 Series pulse generators supply fast edges under 70 ps, a baseline offset of +-2.5 V and a pulse width from 300 ps up to 1 s, so it may be the ideal instrument to generate the pulses for Short and Slow Pulse tests.

Highlights

  • Non-Volatile Memory Cells Characterization
  • Mosfet Test
  • Short, Slow and Narrow Pulses tests

Electro Optics Modulator Applications

An electro optics modulator (EOM) is a device which can be used for controlling the power (→ intensity modulators), phase (→ phase modulators) or polarization of light with an electrical control signal.
It is important to use an electronic driver which is both well matched to the EOM and suitable for the particular application. For example, different kinds of EOMs require different drive voltages.

The PG-1000 Series Pulse Generator allows designing and testing new Electro-Optic Modulators that typically require higher voltages and narrower pulses as control signals; the PG-1000 can deliver up to 5 Vpp of pulse amplitude combined with a very narrow pulse of 300ps and an high repetition rate of 800 MHz.

Highlights

  • Electronic driver for Electro-optic modulator
  • Multi-instrument synchrnonization

Advanced Research Applications

In big physics experiments, photomultipliers are fundamental since they allow to convert photons in electric charge that can be received by the acquisition system allowing the detecting photons.Using Active Technologies Pulse Rider PG-1000 Series pulse generators it is possible to generate a pulse with different width, period and amplitude used as a Laser Driver signal.

A klystron is a specialized linear-beam vacuum tube that can be used in multiple applications, as example in the colliders used for big physics experiments, it has the purpose to generate the particles that will collide.

Like for the laser applications, it is necessary to generate an enable signal to drive the klystron. The  Pulse Rider PG-1000 Series pulse generators offer an off-the-shelf solution to control and modify the klystron enable signal parameters in an easy way using the graphical interface and the touch screen display.

Highlights

  • Advanced Research and Big Physics applications
  • Laser drivers, klystron drivers
  • Easy to use graphical interface
  • Multi-instrument synchrnonization
