Introducing the HP 81101A Pulse Generator

What you can do with the HP 81101A

This section introduces the basic features and use models of the

HP 81101A Pulse Generator.

Basic Features

The HP 81101A is a single-channel pulse generator with variable

transition times. It is capable of generating all standard pulses and bursts

of pulses needed to test current logic technologies (for example, TTL,

CMOS, ECL, PECL, LVDS, GTL) and other digital designs up to 50 MHz.

The instrument features two internal oscillators:

• a synchronously triggerable internal oscillator

• an accurate, stable internal PLL

For even more accuracy, an external frequency reference can be

connected.

Any timing parameter can be varied without glitch or drop out. This

contributes to more accurate and confident characterizations of the

device under test (DUT).

Complete signal setups can be stored locally (9 internal non-volatile

registers available) or on a memory card.

Benchtop Testing

The HP 81101A features a graphic display showing all pulse parameters

at a glance. The cursor keys and the modify knob allow fast and simple

operation.

The user interface is designed to minimize the time invested in getting

familiar with the instrument. After familiarization, the instrument

supports quick setups of signals. This leaves you free to concentrate on

the measurement task and testing of the DUT.
