Active Technologies Data Pattern Generators offer a complete and unique portfolio of instruments to address a wide range of applications starting from Digital Logic and Semiconductors characterization, Aerospace & Defense compliance testing, Mixed Signal Systems testing to Signal Integrity experiments.
Active Technologies offers two different product families/solutions:
- The Digital Pattern Generator product family: DPG
The DPG option allows you to create digital stimuli synchronous with analog channels to test and debug Mixed-Signal applications: they can be used for FPGA / peripheral / ASIC emulation and stimulation, protocol level testing setup/hold verification, production test, mixed signal testing and general digital stimulus.Up to 32 digital channel @ 1.2 GSps per instruments support different electrical standards like LVDS or LV-TTL.
- The Pulse Pattern Generator product family: PPGThe Pulse Pattern Generator family is designed to generate a stream of binary information. The binary data stream is generated through the front panel BNC/SMA connectors.
With up to 8 channels of data stream, built-in PRBS sequences, modulation features, transition shaping and the flexibility of a powerful analog front end, the SPG is the perfect tool to address the most challenging application where the digital data should be modelled with analog characteristics.
Active Technologies Digital Pattern Generators also known as DPG, allow digital stimuli generation to stimulate digital designs, providing the capability to emulate standard serial or parallel bus transactions or custom digital interfaces, for system or device debugging and characterization.
These Digital Pattern Generators can be used for FPGA / peripheral / ASIC emulation and stimulation, protocol-level testing setup/hold verification, production test, mixed-signal testing, and general digital stimulus.
Active Technologies instruments integrate analog waveform and digital pattern generation in a single solution to meet demanding for test signals and application where speed, resolution and quality is an issue.
Up to 32 digital channels @ 1.54 GSps per instrument support different electrical standards like LVDS or LV-TTL.
To ensure the best signal integrity when transmitting such high-speed digital signals, a customized digital cable and the corresponding connector Mini SAS HD to 16 SMA connector (Active Technologies item code: AT-LVDS-SMA8) can be bought from Active Technologies.
Moreover, Active Technologies developed an 8-bit LVDS to LVTTL converter (Active Technologies item code: AT-DTLL8) that can be used to convert LVDS differential signals to LVTTL single-ended signals with a software programmable voltage level from 0.8V to 3.8V.
The AT-DTLL8 probe bit rate is 125 Mbps@0.8V and 400 Mbps@3.6V.
