Data time generator teams data and pulse generator, switch matrix. (Tektronix Inc. HFS 9000 data time generator) (Product Announcement)

EDN, March, 1992 by Gorski, Pamela

BEAVERTON, OR--By combining the capabilities of a data generator, pulse generator, and switch matrix, Tektronix's HFS 9000 data time generator offers both data and timing stimulus on every pin.

A proprietary digital-stimulus achitecture digitally builds up every aspect of the stimulus waveform, surmounting the inflexibility and imprecision of analog approaches. It allows the data time generator to generate any combination of signals needed to characterize a digital IC, provide precision timing relationships, and synthezise more than one channel from the same timebase. It generates signals--including data buses, clocks, strobes, gated clocks, logic-level sources, and pseudorandom bits with 64k memory dept--at 630 Mpbs and 64 kbps/channel.
