“High resolution scans of obsolete technical manuals”
If your looking for a quality scanned technical manual in PDF format please visit
our WEB site at
manuals@artekmedia.com and we will be happy to email you a current list of the
manuals we have available.
If you don’t see the manual you need on the list drop us a line anyway we may
still be able to point you to other sources. If you have an existing manual you
would like scanned please write for details. This can often be done very
reasonably in consideration for adding your manual to our library.
Typically the scans in our manuals are done as follows;
1) Typed text pages are typically scanned in black and white at 300 dpi.
2) Photo pages are typically scanned in gray scale mode at 600 dpi
3) Schematic diagram pages are typically scanned in black and white at 600
dpi unless the original manual had colored high lighting (as is the case for
some 70’s vintage Tektronix manuals).
4) Most manuals are text searchable
5) All manuals are fully bookmarked

Models 51 00 and 51 10 Programmable Frequency Synthesizers provide spectrally pure output frequencies in
0.001 Hz steps from DC to

MHz. Model 51 00 may be
programmed locally and remotely. Model 51 10 may only
be programmed remotely.
A patented* direct digital synthesis technique is used
to generate the output frequency directly from an internal crystal reference, which may be phase locked to an
external 1 MHz standard, if desired.
In addition to excellent short term stability, digital synthesis also provides other improvements in

programmed.
Excellent spectral purity is also possible with digital
synthesis since output distortion is determined entirely
by the number of bits per sample and the linearity of
the DIA converter. Another feature of digital synthesis
is the ability to precisely control the phase of the output
frequency. The phase may be asynchronously reset to
zero at any time for as long as desired (or as little as
125 ns). Hence, for example, sinusoidal bursts are easily
produced with each burst beginning at exactly zero
phase.

INITIAL CONFORMANCE TEST PROCEDURE
To verify that the instrument is operational, the following procedure is recommended. If trouble is suspected,
then refer to the troubleshooting section in this manual.
Phase lock the unit and a frequency counter to a com-
mon frequency reference.
A 1 MHz output signal from
the REF OUT connector may be used as a reference
input to the counter, or a
1
MHz output from the counter
may be used to phase lock the unit. For details, refer to
paragraph
3.3.3.
Connect the OUTPUT jack of the unit to the counter and
verify that the counter is triggered. Program a frequency

5100 may be controlled locally with the front panel
switches or remotely via the rear panel programming
connector. Model 51 10 is controlled only via the rear
panel programming connector. Frequency is programmable on all units, while attenuation is programmable on Option 002 equipped units only.
3.2 POWER SWITCH AND INDICATOR

3.3 SYSTEM CLOCKS
For the instrument to function, it must have a system
clock derived from either an internal or external
reference. In addition, the internal reference may be
phase-locked to an external 1 MHz input signal, and two
or more instruments may be phase-locked together.
3.3.1 Internal Reference

nal reference oscillator, but may contain either Option

To enable any internal crystal reference oscillator, the

on the main board (figure 5-1) must be in the INT position. If no external signal is connected to the REF IN jack,

3.3.2 External Reference (REF IN Signal)
Any internal 8 MHz crystal reference installed in the unit
1
may be either phase-locked to an external
reference signal, or completely replaced by an external
8
MHz signal, which becomes the system clock. An
external 8 MHz reference signal is required for Model
51 10 units without an optional internal reference
oscillator. For external
the INPUT REFERENCE SELECTOR JUMPER located
inside the unit on the main board (drawing 002-004-31 00)
must be in the EXT position. The rear panel BNC jack
labeled REF IN accepts either the 1 or 8 MHz external
reference input signals.
The absolute maximum voltage limits of the external
reference input signal are
51 00, and
the signal source is one standard TTL load. A TTL
Schmitt-trigger circuit conditions the input signal to be

0.6V minimum. The input signal waveform must cross
both thresholds for 50 ns, minimum, once per cycle.
If the REF IN signal is to be the system clock, the input
frequency must be between dc and 8.1 MHz. The deviation of the output signal frequency is directly proportional
to the deviation of the system clock from
tion at frequencies below
rate; the internal low pass filterwhich removes sampling
components from the output signal is designed for an
8
MHz sampling rate and becomes ineffective as the
sampling rate is lowered. To maintain full harmonic and
spurious distortion specifications, an external low pass
filter is required to eliminate these components.
3.3.3 Phase-Locking to an External 1 MHz Standard
For phase-locking to an external standard, the instrument must be equipped with an internal crystal reference. The lnput Reference Selector Jumper shown on
main board assembly drawing 02-004-31 00 in section
8
must be in the INT position, enabling the internal crystal
reference as the system clock. If a 1 MHz signal is connected to the rear panel REF IN jack, the internal
reference will phase-lock to this signal. The pull-in range
"1 " (each for a duration of at least 50 ns) once per cycle.
As a check of proper phase-lock operation, follow
paragraph 6.8 of the Conformance Test Procedure.
Failure to lock could be due to an excessive difference
between the internal and external reference frequencies.
3.3.4 Phase-Locking Two or More Instruments
.
(51 00 and 51 10)
To phase-lock two or more instruments, use the 8 MHz
reference output from a master instrument as an external 8 MHz clock input to the slave
instrument(s). All slave
instrument phase-locked loops are bypassed because
they are driven directly by the single crystal reference
of the master instrument, which itself may be phaselocked to an external
1 MHz signal, or driven by an 8 MHz
input signal.
The
lnput Reference Selector Jumper located inside the
unit on the main board (assembly drawing

must be in the INT position for the master unit, and EXT

3.5 REMOTE SWITCH AND INDICATOR (MODEL
51 00 ONLY)
The Model 51 00 is always operating in either the local
or remote mode, as indicated by the amber REMOTE
lamp on the front panel. The REMOTE switch must be
in the OUT position for local mode operation. Remote
mode operation may be effected in two ways:
1. By setting the REMOTE switch to the IN position.
2. By setting the programming line REMOTE to the
proper state. Thus, the unit may be called into the
remote mode by either front- or rear-panel control.
Local mode operation requires that neither
(1) or (2)
above be present.
3.6 LOCAL MODE OPERATION (MODEL 51 00 ONLY)
All local frequency and attenuation control is derived
The Model 5100 output signal frequency is set directly
by the ten front panel rotary switches. Any frequency
from 0.001 Hz to 2,000,000.000 Hz is available in
increments of 0.001 Hz. All switches (except the MHz
switch) have 12 positions with no stops to limit rotation.
The two unmarked positions on the knobs which correspond to
"1 0" and "1 1 " are actuallyvalid positions with
the following restriction: the combined settings of the
three switches in each range of 1 000
(mHz, Hz, and kHz)
may not exceed 999. For example, if the three "Hz"
switches are set left to right as
put frequency is given by:
"1 1

for the same three switches is

the out-
+
totals 101 1 Hz, exceeding the limit of 999.
The MHz switch has two positions. To set a frequency
of
2,000,000.000 Hz, the MHz switch is set to 1 and
the 100 kHz switch is set to
"1 0". This is the only frequency which requires the use of an unmarked switch
position.
When any frequency switch is changed on the Model
51 00, the output signal will momentarily drop
tozero volts

paragraph 5.3) attenuation. Programming data is latched
internally at the time of the LOAD pulse and need not
be held valid except at that time. The precise switching
characteristics of the instruments allow accurate amplitude gating, frequency sweeping, and frequency hopping (FSK).
3.7.1 Programming Lines
All remote programming lines enter the 50-pin connector
on the rear panel, and, except for the zero phase line,
have the input circuitry shown in figure 3-3. Each programming line must sink a maximum of 4.8
connected to ground potential. If a line is left uncon-
nected, it will be internally pulled to
by the 3.3 KR pull up resistor and therefore may be programmed via contact closure to ground for logical
and open for logical "1
The programming lines can be divided into two categories:
to set data format, initiate loading, etc. The data lines
set the value of the frequency or attenuation.
The pin numbers shown on the connector and its mat-
ing plug (supplied) are identified in figure 3-4. Lines

Ttie instrument may be used to generate an amplitude
gate waveform by driving the ZERO PHASE line with a
pulse generator; each gated interval is identical in phase
content. All transients are spectrally limited to a 2.5 MHz
bandwidth by the
Every time the instrument changes frequency (except
with phase-continuous programming), the internal cir-
cuitry causes the ZERO PHASE line to go to logical
during the processing time of the newly-loaded data.
Thus, as an output, this line may be used to monitor the
"wired-or" bus. Internally, it is pulled to + 5V through 1 kR
resistor and to ground through a saturated NPN transistor

The zero phase line is sampled every 125 ns by the D
flip-flop shown in figure 3-5. The output of this flip-flop
controls the accumulator reset line. When this line is at

is set to zero degrees. When the line returns to logical

As an output line, the zero phase line will acknowledge
the loading of program data as described in paragraph
3.7.2.2. The internal NPN transistor will pull this line to
logical

phase interval in the output signal.

The delay from the negative edge of the LOAD

the change in frequency at the OUTPUT jack is approximately 1.5 ps. LOAD pulses may be accepted at a
maximum rate of one per 0.625 ps. Data must be held
valid until at least

100 Hz
(3) 80 Hz + 40 Hz + 20 Hz + 10 Hz, etc. By properly
choosing data
lines, the number of active programming
lines may be minimized in certain applications.
Data must remain valid for at least 4.5
ps after the
negative-going edge of each LOAD pulse. The internal
data processing circuitry requires a maximum of
18.0 ps
to process the BCD data after a load. During the last
13.5
ps of this interval, the ZERO PHASE line will go to
zero volts. The instrument is ready to receive a new load
after this time, as shown in figure 3-7.

The byte loading mode is provided expressly for the user
who has a limited number of data lines. Four

and
A LOAD pulse causes loading of this data and initiates
a wait cycle holding the ZERO PHASE line (and OUTPUT
signal) at zero until the next three bytes have been loaded
and processed. Data must be held valid for at least 4.5
ps
after the first LOAD pulse.
The remaining three bytes program the
in that order, as shown in figure 3-6. Each range
mHz, Hzand kHz
(mHz,
Hz, and kHz) is constrained exactly as in the word modes.
The fourth LOAD pulse initiates processing of all loaded
data after which the new signal appears at the output
jacks. Data must be held valid for at least 375 ns after
each of the last three LOAD pulses.
Since the first byte and the remaining three bytes are
loaded on two separate sets of lines, the user may tie
these two sets in parallel, allowing a single set of
10 or
12 lines to serve for all byte inputs. ~hese sets of lines
are arranged adjacent to each other on the rear panel
connector (see figure 3-3) so that pins
may be easily connected to pins #26 through
respectively. Pins #36 and

are then included with

Note that if binary format is used, these latter two lines
may be omitted, thus requiring a total of only ten lines
for data input.
3.7.2
Remote-Local Mode Transitions (Model
Only)
51
00
The characteristics of switching between local and
remote modes on the Model
51 00may be useful in some
applications. When switching from local to remote
modes, no change occurs in frequency (or attenuation)
until the first LOAD pulse is received. If, however, at the
time of entering the remote mode the LOAD line is at
logical
"O", the instrument will thereupon load the pro-
gram data. In order to load new data, either the LOAD
line must go to logical "1
"
and then back to logical "O",
or the instrument must go to local mode and back to
remote mode. Whenever local mode is entered, the
instrument immediately returns to the current front panel
setting. Therefore, if the user wishes to switch between
twofrequencies, he could set the first on the front panel
and the second on the program lines. With the LOAD line
at logical
"Ow, switching between local and remote
modes would then alternate the frequencies. The
transition into local mode is identical in character to a
BCD-word load and the timing diagram of figure 3-7
applies, substituting the remote condition for the LOAD
signal.
Another application may require transitions from one frequency to another without the relatively complex amplitude and frequency transients encountered in rotating
the front panel switches to change
frequency.This may
be done on the front panel without resorting to remote
programming. To change frequency, enter the remote
mode with the REMOTE button and set the frequency
switches to the new frequency. Changing the switches
will have noeffect. Push the REMOTE button, again bring-
ing the instrument back to local mode. The frequency
will change to the new setting. This routine is equivalent
to remote programming in the BCD-word mode.
With Option 002, the attenuator may be controlled in the
same manner as the frequencysetting described above.
Models 5100 and 51 10 utilize direct digital synthesis
techniques to generate the output sinusoid. Samples of
the sinusoid are digitally generated at an
8
MHz rate and
are then converted to analog form by a Digital-to-Analog
Converter (DAC) and a smoothing Low Pass Filter (LPF)
cutting off at approximately 2.5 MHz. The amplitude
of the digital samples is represented with
11 bits
(including sign), and the phase accuracy of each
sample is
+
0.09'.
4.2 FUNCTIONAL BLOCK THEORY
Figure 4-1 is a composite block diagram of the units. The
8
MHz system clock is derived from either an external
signal or a temperature-compensated Crystal-Oscillator
Reference (proportional oven control with Option 001).
The frequency stability of the output sinusoid is related
directly to that of the system clock. Mechanical adjustment of the internal crystal frequency is provided to compensate for long-term aging effects, and the crystal
oscillator may also be phase locked to an external 1 MHz
reference (which is within
+
2 Hz of the internally derived
1 MHz). Since excellent short-term stability is provided
by the internal crystal reference, the function of the
external-reference phase-lock loop is only to provide
proper bias to the crystal, and hence, the loop bandwidth
is
fairly
broad
(approximately
lo
Hz).
The frequency value of the output sinusoid is stored in
the Frequency Register in binary form with each
3-decade group (kHz, Hz, and
mHz) represented by a
separate 10-bit binary number (see figure 4-2). A
separate flip-flop stores the MHz bit. If the unit is remotely
programmed in this binary form, then no numerical conversion is required, and the output frequency changes
with no discontinuity in phase or amplitude. The delay
from the programming inputs to the analog output in this
mode is approximately 1.5
ps.
4.3 PROGRAMMING
If the unit is programmed in BCD either locally (via the
Model 51 00 front panel) or remotely, then BCD-to-binary
conversion is required, and the output is reset to zero
phase (and thus zero volts) during theconversion period.
Remote programming in either BCD or binary can also
be accomplished in four 12-bit bytes,
(1 0 bits for binary)
if the number of input lines is more important than programming speed.

5.2 OPTION 001, HIGH STABILITY REFERENCE
OSCILLATOR
Option 001 is the most stable of the oscillators available
for Models 51 00 and 51 10. It uses a crystal with proportional oven control to obtain its excellent stability. See

5.3 OPTION 002, REMOTE ATTENUATION
With Option 002 installed, attenuation of the OUTPUT
signal as described in paragraph 3.6.2 is fully programable. The format is shown in figure 3-6, and loading of
the attenuation bits occurs at the same time as the frequency bits. Positive logic, as described in paragraph
3.7.1.3 (Data Formats), is used. Internal registers store
the data and drive miniature relays to switch the appro-
priate resistor networks. The settling time of the relay
contacts is typically less than 5 ms.
Protective circuitry insures that when switching between
two levels of attenuation, the settling of the relays will
never cause attenuation less than either of the two
valid levels. Remote attenuator drawings (suffix -3077)
are located in section
