Agilent 5359A Time Synthesizer
Data Sheet
External trigger mode: Selects the delays from the sync out to the beginning of the output pulse, and the width of
the output pulse.
Internal trigger mode: Selects the "period" or "frequency" and the width of the output pulse.
Events mode: Substitutes external input (to 100 MHz) for the internally counted clock (delay and width must both
be specified in terms of events instead of time).
Triggering frequency mode: The same as internal frequency mode except the output is a burst beginning in
synchronism with an external trigger signal, and continuing for the duration of this signal.
Calibration mode: Performs an internal calibration to remove the effects of internal delay differences.
Range
Delay Td: 0 ns to 160 ms
Width Tw: 5 ns to 160 ms (width and delay <= 160 ms)
Period: 100 ns (or width +85 ns) min; 160 ms max
Frequency: Same as corresponding "period"
Measurement Characteristics
Repetition Rate: 10 MHz max
Accuracy: ± 1 ns ± time base error (± 100 ps ± time base error after external calibration)
Insertion Delay: Fixed at <150 ns; selectable as <50 ns for delays >100 ns
Jitter: Typical 100 ps rms; maximum 200 ps rms (delays to 10 ms)
Input/Output Characteristics
External Trigger Input: -2 V to +2 V, slope selectable
Sync Output: 1 V at 50 ohm; 5 V at 1 Mohm. Width 35 ns nominal
Output Pulse
Amplitude: 0.5 V to 5 V, into 50 ohm
Polarity: Positive or negative
Offset: -1 V to 1 V, or OFF
Transition time: < 5 ns
Note: External voltage must not be applied. Offset and Amplitude voltage into 50 ohm may be displayed.
Edge 1 and 2 Outputs (rear panel): Occur in Sync with leading edge of output pulse (same specification as
Sync out)
HP-IB: All controls except trigger levels are programmable.
