Digital Pulse and Delay Generators

  • Product No:577
  • Manufacturer:Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation

The Model 577 digital delay generator provides multi-channel 250 ps-resolution timing, delaying, gating, pulsing, and synchronizing functions at an attractive price. In addition to the traditional digital delay and pulse generator modes, there are many practical modes of operation and features. For usefulness and value, there is nothing comparable.

Each channel provides both delays and widths – a 4-channel Model 577 provides the same delay and width functionality of competitive 8-channel units. The Model 577 is available in 4 and 8 channel configurations, with optional Ethernet, High Voltage, and Dual Input Trigger options.

This Digital Delay/Pulse Generator, representing our finest in precision timing, provides precise delays and widths with 250 pS resolution for times up to 1000 seconds. Low jitter, with both internal clocks (50pS) and using an external trigger (800pS) gives users the timing needed to control many devices. This is particularly useful where several pulses or gate signals need to be delayed and timed with respect to each other or with a common trigger. You may even use one channel as a trigger reference for other channels, locking the timing delays when needed. There is much to learn about the Model 577, which offers much more, including a clock-divider, independent channel triggering, independent amplitudes/channel, delay and width control, and a LabVIEW 8 driver.
