  • Easy-to-use graphical user interface on PC (via USB-port)

Brief Description

The multilevel pattern generator PAT1250-16 is a special generator for testing digital designs and components, e. g. laser diodes. The output signals use a multilevel signal code, i. e. they can adopt not only one of two (binary), but one out of sixteen possible voltage values. Every code element therefore is encoded using four bit.

Graphical user interface of the operating software

Definition of a Digit A single code element or data character is referred to in the following as digit. A digit is encoded using four bit and can adopt 16 different voltage values. All steps between adjoining voltage values are equal.

For the operation of the generator an external reference clock signal in the range of 20MHz to 2,5GHz is required. Repetition rates with frequencies between 10MHz and 1,25GHz are possible.

The freely programmable internal 32 MBit pattern memory allows the generation of arbitrary patterns of up to 4.194.304 data characters.

All signal outputs and inputs are accessible at the front panel. These are: reference clock input, two independent output signals (Multilevel A and Multilevel B), data clock output, quadrature clock signal ( 90° phase difference) and trigger output.
