Theory of Operation
Theory of Operation
This section describes the electrical operation of the AWG7000 Series Arbitrary
Waveform Generators.
Overview
The AWG7000 Series Arbitrary Waveform Generators provide four models with
different frequency and numbers of channels. Each model consists of two major
sections: the platform section and generator section. The platform section is
common to each model.
Block Diagram of the
System
The AWG7000 Series Arbitrary Waveform Generators are based on the Tektronix
DPO7000 series platform which consists of the µATX CPU board and modern
components for a PC. The instrument operates with the microsoft Window XP

Module Overviews
Theory of Operation
A Microsoft Windows processor system is the primary controller of the instrument.
The instrument features an XGA resolution flat-panel display, a transparent touch
screen, and a front panel with direct access to commonly used instrument
functions. You can also make complete use of the instrument with a mouse and a
keyboard.
Front Panel (FP) Board
LCD Adapter (LCDA) Board
Push-button switches on the Front Panel (FP) board are read by an embedded micro
controller, which sends the button and knob change information to the µATX bo ar d
via a USB path. The FP board consists of the following blocks:
USB controller (Cypress EZ-USB FX1)
FPGA (Altera Cyclone)
Key switch matrix
LED indicators (Tri-Color and Mono-Color)
The LCDA board supports interconnection between the µATX board and FP
board. Two internal USB ports come from the µATX board. One USB connects to
a touch panel controller. The other connect to a micro controller on the FP board.
Connectors related to the LCD are also included. The LCDA board consists of the
following blocks:
Touch-panel controller
Rotary encoder (signal goes to the FP board)
LCD back light controller
Connector to LCD
Multi-Input/Output (MIO)
Board
The MIO board coordinates the flow of data through the Windows PCI port from
various devices that communicate with the µATX system. The devices include the
display system, GPIB, TekLink, and data flow (PCIF) path to the waveform
generator system. An EEROM on this board is used to store the instrument setting
and calibration data. The MIO board consists of the following blocks:
PCI controller
GPIB controller
LCD display controller (ATI Mobility-MI)
PCI target adapter
PLD140 (Xilinx FPGA)
EEPROM for calibration data storage
TekLink interface

Theory of Operation
Front Switch (FSW) Board
Front Connector (FCON)
Board
Display Panel
Touch Panel
Processor (µATX ) B o ard
The FSW board provides interconnection between the Standby switch and µAT X
board. It includes an LED driver.
The FCON board provides front-panel connections of the USB ports and the DC
output. It includes common mode filters that suppress EMI radiation on the USB
signal.
The active-matrix LCD display is fully controlled by Windows drivers. It is
controlled by the ATI Mobility-M1 micro circuit on the MIO board. The display
has a 1024 x 768 resolution. Brightness is controlled by the intensity of the
backlight.
The touch information from the touch screen is processed by Windows drivers,
actively placing the pointer at the touched location. Actions from the mouse and
the touch panel are interchangeable, and treated alike by the user interface
software. The AccuTouch five-wire resistive touch screen uses a glass panel with
a uniform resistive coating. A thick polyester coversheet is tightly suspended over
the top of a glass substrate, separated by small, transparent insulating dots. The
coversheet has a hard, durable coating on the outer side and a conductive coating
on the inner side. The controller is located on the LCDA board.
The µATX board provides standard Windows functionality and I/O port interfaces
on the rear panel. This includes RS-232, Parallel, and Ethernet ports, as well as four
USB ports, including two USB2.0 ports located in the lower right front corner of
the instrument. The µATX board receives input from the front panel and touch
panel, and implements the appropriate changes. Video display data is transferred
to the MIO board through the PCI bus interface. The hard drive is connected to the
µATX board through the SATA interface, and the CD/DVD is connected to the
Windows system through the IDE parallel interface.
Power Supply
Fans
Power (PWR) Board
2-4 AWG7000 Series Service Manual
The power supply CVR460 is a switching AC to DC converter. It automatically
detects the line voltage over the range of 90 to 264 VAC. It supplies power to all
the circuitry in the instrument. No switch completely disconnects the line power
from the instrument. The ON/STBY switch controls the power to the instrument
through the µATX board circuitry. When in the “power off” condition, there is still
a low power standby current to allow the system to monitor the ON/STBY switch.
Three fans on the side of the instrument provide forced air cooling. The fans are
controlled by the fan speed control circuit on the PWR board and are regulated by
monitoring the temperature at the circuitry.
The PWR board provides DC power to the fans, HDD, CD Drive, µATX bo ar d ,
MIO board, and AWG10G board. All the power comes from the CVR460 module.
The fan control circuit has a thermal sensor on this board. DC voltage to the fans
is controlled relative to the sensed temperature. DC-DC converters are included for
generating different DC voltages.
Theory of Operation
CLK10G Board
AWG10G Board
The CLK10G board provides a 5 GHz to 10 GHz clock to the AWG10G board.
Two clock outputs go to the CH1 and CH2 DAC. The clock output to CH2 should
be terminated for 1 channel models. The clock input accepts 5GHz to 10 GHz clock
signals from an external signal source. The reference clock input accepts 5 MHz to
800 MHz reference clock signals from an external signal source. The 10 MHz
reference output can be used for synchronizing frequency between two or more
instruments. The CLK10G board consists of the following blocks:
YIG oscillator (5GHz to 10 GHz)
Fractional-N PLL
10.0 MHz TCXO (reference oscillator)
The AWG10G board generates arbitrary waveforms based on the waveform
memory and the sequence memory. There are two types of PLDs (Xilinx FPGA)
on the board. One is an AWG controller called PLD131 which interfaces to/from
the MIO board. The other is a memory controller called PLD130 which generates
waveform patterns. Waveform data is stored in ZBT type SRAMs. The sequence
memory is included in the memory controller PLD. The AWG10G board consists
of the following blocks:
10 GS/s DAC (HFD205 ASIC)
8 channels 8:1 MUX (TEK0015 ASIC)
PLD130 (Xilinx Virtex-2 FPGA) as a memory controller
PLD131 (Xilinx Virtex-2 FPGA) as an AWG controller
ZBT type SRAM for the waveform memory
Inter-channel phase detector
Trigger and event inputs

Theory of Operation
OUT10G1 Board for
Standard models
OUT10G2 Board for
Option 02/06
The OUT10G1 board provides analog and marker outputs to the front-panel
connector. Amplitude, filter, offset, and On/Off controls are added to the analog
outputs. High/Low voltage and On/Off controls are added to the marker outputs.
The OUT10G1 board consists of the following blocks:
Analog output amplifier
Marker output driver
Selectable low-pass filter
Selectable attenuator
Voltage monitor
Controller PLD
The OUT10G2 board uses the same raw board as the OUT10G1 board. The
difference is that the OUT10G2 board has no analog output circuitry. For Option
02 and Option 06, the analog signal path is on the relay module. The OUT10G2
board has an analog voltage monitor. The OUT10G2 board consists of the
following blocks:
Marker output driver
Voltage monitor
Relay Module (Option 02
and Option 06 only)
Coax switch driver
Controller PLD
The relay module provides switches for analog outputs. For Option 02, the relays
switch the analog outputs on and off. For Option 06, the relays switch the
interleaving and the analog outputs on and off. An RF power combiner is used for
mixing channel 1 and 2 signals. The output of the power combiner goes to the
Interleave output.
