Tektronix Digital Pattern Generators
The PG3 Digital Pattern Generator Series is a powerful general purpose tool that can be used to stimulate your designs. You get the flexibility and expandability with different form factors and a wide selection of probes for a broad range of applications.
These digital pattern generators can be used for peripheral/ASIC emulation and stimulation, protocol level testing setup/hold verification, production test, mixed signal testing and general digital stimulus. The PG3 can be coupled with a Tektronix Logic Analyzer and/or a Tektronix Digital Oscilloscope to provide a complete test system.
Features | Benefits |
| 300 Mb/s single data rate 600 Mb/s double data rate | Supports higher speed logic such as FPGAs, embedded microprocessors, memory, and serial I/O buses |
| Expandable up to 256 bit width | Simultaneously stimulate several inputs to the device under test, including buses, serial inputs, and control lines |
| Variable voltage levels and byte wide timing adjustments | Provides fine adjustments in timing and voltage level for "corner case" system testing |
| External clock input and external trigger inputs | Synchronize the pattern generator output to the system under test |
| Capture data on a TLA and export it to the PG for play back | Simple process allows the customer to quickly create your data patterns |
| PGApp software can create data files with breaks, loops, and conditional execution based on external events | Broad flexibility in the output patterns while conserving pattern generator memory |
| Pre-programmed patterns for common tests, e.g. walking 1s, counters, clocks | Saves time that would be spent generating common patterns |
| Wide variety of Probes | Cover many different application needs for stimulus |
