Agilent Technologies 81100 Family Pulse/Pattern Generator Technical Specifications Flexible pulses or patterns for digital designs Introduction to the 81100 Family Signals for testing digital designs and components All members have the same programming/user interfaces, which are compatible with the well-established Agilent 8110A. Migration is therefore easy and cost-effective. The Agilent 81101A, 81104A, 81110A and 81130A generate all the standard pulses and digital patterns needed to test current logic technologies (CMOS, TTL, LVDS, ECL, etc.). With the optional second channel on all of the models from 80 MHz, multi-level and multi-timing signals can be obtained using the internal channel addition feature. * Variable pulse parameters in pattern mode as well as in pulse mode (not on the 81130A) * Synchronously triggerable * Simulation of reflections/ distortions (81104A, 81110A) * Three/four-level codes (81104A, 81110A) Key Features * Common operation with the easy to-use 8110A-type graphical user interface * Common programming. All 81100 models and the 8110A use the same GP-IB/SCPI commands * 100% form/fit compatibility * User-retrofittable channels for most models * Upward compatibility * Individual solutions for frequencies up to 50, 80, 165, 330, 400 and 660 MHz * Pattern mode on all models from 80 MHz. Include pseudo-random binary sequence * The outputs of dual-channel instruments can be added (analog or EXOR, depending on model). Glitch-free timing changes Easy-to-use Now you can sweep your timing values without the danger of spurious pulses or dropouts that could cause measurement errors. (Applies to continuous mode, values < 100 ms, consecutive values between 0.5 and twice the previous value on the 81101A, 81104A, 81110A) Features such as the clear graphical display, autoset, help, store/recall, preset TTL/ECL levels, selectable units (such as current/voltage, width/duty-cycle), and load compensation ensure a high level of convenience. Emulate the device's environment... Today's devices can require very complex stimuli. To meet this, the Agilent 81130A can sequence and loop its memory for very deep patterns. RZ (return-to-zero), NRZ (non-return-to- zero) and R1 (return-to-one) formats are available. Digital channel addition allows the generation of signals with two different pulse widths and delays or of data rates up to 1.32 Gbit/s in one single channel. Smooth integration into automated test systems Reliable measurements The Agilent 81100A family can be integrated easily into all phases of test system development. Test programs are 100% upwardly compatible from the Agilent 81101A to the 81104A and from the 81104A to the 81110A, ensuring that growth with future needs is as easy as just exchanging the instruments physically. This results in low integration costs, in addition to low costs of ownership through proven hardware reliability. All models provide clean, accurate pulses with excellent repeatability, thus contributing to measurement integrity. The Agilent 81110A features selfcalibration for more accuracy. It also offers a choice of output modules: the Agilent 81111A 165 MHz, 10 V module with variable transitions and the Agilent 81112A 330 MHz, 3.8 V module which has differential outputs and two selectable transition times. Frequency range The Agilent 81130A is designed and recommended for an operation in the frequency range of 170 kHz to 400/660 MHz. However it can be operated in the extended range down to 1 kHz. The Agilent 81130A offers a choice of output modules: the Agilent 81131A 400 MHz, 3.8 V module and the Agilent 81132A 660 MHz, 2.5 V module which has complementary outputs.

The second output module can be added later. Output modules can be exchanged and retrofitted by the user. The English Quick Start Guide (811xx-91010) and Reference Guide (811xx-91011) is supplied with each mainframe for all configurations. A memory card is not included. Each Agilent 81101A includes just one output channel (in comparison to the other models of the Agilent 81100 family). The output module of the 81101A does not need to be ordered separately.
