Power

50 kHz to 3.35 GHz (settable to 3.4 GHz)[1]

Performance

±1 ppm[1]

Optics

0.2 ps[1]

How it works

The DTG 5334 uses a modular architecture: the mainframe provides slots for cold-swappable plug-in output modules, and the instrument can be configured with various combinations of modules to suit different test needs. The mainframe contains a built-in computer running the Windows 2000 operating system, offering a graphical user interface and support for network integration.[1][3]

The DTG 5334 offers a delay resolution of 0.2 ps and can generate data rates from 50 Kb/s to 3.35 Gb/s in NRZ mode. The instrument provides precise control over signal timing, including adjustable delay, phase, and pulse width.[1]

Applications

Additional application areas include magnetic and optical storage device testing, data converter device characterization, and imaging sensor device design and functional test. The instrument can generate stressed eye patterns and inject external jitter for jitter tolerance testing.[1]
