Synopsis

Programmable voltage steps for high-speed automated testing

A precision step generator delivers fast, repeatable voltage pulses for evaluating waveform recorders, oscilloscopes, and other instruments.

It supports single-shot or repetitive pulses with programmable transition polarity, pulse length, and repetition rate.

The device defines initial and final voltage levels within ranges suitable for both 50 ohm terminated and high-impedance loads. Steps settle to within a small fraction of full scale in tens of nanoseconds, with transition durations measured in a few nanoseconds, making it ideal for characterizing dynamic performance in high-speed test systems.

  • Programmable polarity, pulse length, and repetition rate to match measurement needs
  • Two defined voltage levels for each step (Vi and V2) with precise settling behavior
  • Designed for automated testing environments and can be controlled through a standard interface

Ideal for readers who design or calibrate high-speed test equipment and waveform analysis tools.
