BK Precision 4033 - 50MHz Pulse Generator

Industry Leading Performance

External Width
In the external width pulse mode, pulse period, and width are determined by an externally applied signal. The pulse generator then applies transition and level parameters to this signal in order to generate the pulse. A power supply designer for example could use this feature to shape the width and period of the output signal to drive the power supply’s FET transistors while remaining synchronized with its control circuits.

Variable Transitions
For added flexibility, variable rise and fall times can be programmed from 6 ns to 100 ms. Various shapes of pulses can be obtained for applications where parameters such as linearity, switching times, or reflection times must be analyzed. Programmable rise and fall times could be used to measure operational amplifier slew rates and easily test thresholds of devices and circuits.

Straightforward User Interface
These generators use a menu-driven front panel keypad and control knob to adjust all parameters. The bright, easy-to-read display shows all relevant parameters along with a graphical representation of the output pulse. If an entered parameter is not compatible with the existing setup status, the operator is informed by an error message. Users can conveniently select predefined amplitude levels for TTL, ECL, and CMOS signals, or choose a custom amplitude level for specialized applications.
