H The Specifications section contains all nominal, typical, and specified

characteristics. H The Operating Information section teaches you about each of the front panel

controls and how to input simple settings for basic operation. H The Theory of Operation section helps you understand the operation of each

of the replaceable modules in the HFS 9003. H The Performance Verification section gives you procedures on how to verify

the specified performance of the instrument. H The Adjustment Procedures section lists the adjustments you can make to the

instrument. H The Maintenance section instructs you on how to perform general preventive

maintenance on the instrument. This section also describes removal,

replacement and troubleshooting procedures.

Notation Conventions

H The Options section lists the options available from the factory. This section

also describes the procedure for installing field updates to the internal

programmed code of the instrument. H The Diagrams section describes and illustrates the major electrical sections

Specifications

Nominal Traits

The HFS 9000 family of high-speed logic signal source instruments have a modular architecture with factory-configurable cards. The channels are digitally synthesized from a common clock resulting in highly accurate independent placement of rising and falling edges. The instruments are optimized for digital device characterization with unique triggering capabilities and a variety of pulse outputs. The product family also features low RMS jitter, the ability to compensate for external cable skews, and an easy-to-use graphical human interface.

This section contains the complete specifications for the HFS 9000 Stimulus System and Modules. These specifications are classified as either nominal traits, warranted characteristics, or typical characteristics.

Nominal traits are described using simple statements of fact such as “+2.6 V” for the trait “Maximum high level,” rather than in terms of limits that are performance requirements.

Name

Maximum high level +2.6 V Minimum low level –2.00 V Maximum amplitude 3.00 V Minimum amplitude 0.50 V Level resolution 0.01 V Operation when terminated

through 50  to –2 V

Description

Output levels will be approximately 1 V more negative than the values programmed, specified, and displayed. Actual output levels more negative than –2 V may cause malfunction. Level accuracy specifications do not apply when terminating to –2 V. Both true and complement outputs must be terminated to the same voltage.

Output level range will double until certain internal limits are achieved. Since the programmed, specified, and displayed output levels do not match the actual output levels, level accuracy specifications do not apply when terminating to a high impedance load. Because of the larger voltage swings associated with doubled level range, output transition time specifications do not apply when driving a high impedance load.
