PG 507 Tektronix 50 MHz Dual Output Pulse Generator

The Tektronix PG 507 50 MHz Dual Output Pulse Generator is designed to operate in two compartments of a TM 500-series power module. The Tektronix PG 507 is a general purpose, full function pulse generator, designed for digital logic applications.

The Tektronix PG 507 features dual simultaneous complementary pulse outputs with a maximum amplitude of 15 volts in a ± 15 volt window from a low reactance 50 Ω source, 3.5 ns rise and fall times, and independent control of high and low levels of the output pulse.

Front panel control and connectors provide the capability to trigger or synchronously gate the PG 507 from an external signal with trigger/gate input level and slope controls. Delayed pulse, paired pulse and manual trigger capabilities are featured. Squared-wave outputs and complementary rectangular pulse outputs can also be selected.

All inputs and outputs are internally terminated in 50 Ω except the trigger/gate input which is internally selectable for either 50 Ω or 1 MΩ, 20 pF input impedance. A control error warning light indicates incompatible control settings. Special positions on the period, duration and delay controls permit customized control ranges.

The high and low level pulse amplitude controls are shared by both outputs, and a preset switch allows selection of adjustable preset output levels. Each of the outputs has an independent normal/complement switch.

The rear interface connectors provides access to several internal signals and provides control lines that permit custom interconnecting of companion instruments.
