TGP110 10MHz pulse generator with delay
An essential instrument
The generation of pulses for the stimulus and control of elec-
tronic systems is beyond the capability of all but the most so-
phisticated of function generators.
The architecture of a dedicated pulse generator enables it to
generate pulses of a set width regardless of the repetition rate
offering duty cycles which can extend down to 1 in 100 million.
In addition to continuous operation, single or multiple pulses
can be generated in response to trigger or gating signals with
precisely defined timing relationships.
A dedicated pulse-waveform output amplifier provides flat top
pulses with fast rise and fall times at variable amplitude.
Variable delay
The TGP110 offers selectable delay between the sync output
and pulse output. In triggered mode this also sets the delay be-
tween a trigger signal and the start of the pulse.
Wide pulse range
The TGP110 can generate pulse widths in the range 50ns to 5s.
There are eight overlapping decade ranges with vernier control
within each range.
The period range is 100ns to 10s, equivalent to a repetition rate
range of 10MHz to 0.1Hz. Delay is independently adjustable
over the same range as pulse width.
A complement switch inverts the mark-space polarity.
Squarewave and double pulse
In square mode, squarewaves are generated at a frequency set
by the period controls alone. This provides a convenient means
of generating variable period edges where the pulse width is
unimportant, for example.
In double pulse mode, a second pulse is generated within every
period at a set delay after the start of the first pulse. The delay is
independently adjustable.
PERIOD, PULSE WIDTH, DELAY
Each parameter is variable within 8 overlapping decade ranges with a
vernier providing continuously variable control within each range.

controls, starts synchronously with leading edge of gate input. Last pulse
is completed at the end of gating period. Gating signal can be generated
manually from front panel button.
