The Keysight (Agilent) 8131A Pulse Generator delivers precision pulse generation up to 500 MHz with fully programmable control, including variable transition times under 1 ns and programmable input trigger levels. Designed for high-speed digital testing, the 8131A supports burst and gate triggering, repeatable timing measurements with sub-200 ps rise times (150 ps typical), and simulation of NRZ data up to 280 Mbit/s. The HP-SL programming language ensures fast integration into automated systems.
With clean, sharp edges and high-resolution timing, the 8131A excels in testing BICMOS, ECL, GaAs, and analog components, enabling bandwidth assessment, slew rate analysis, and rapid functional validation. Option 020 adds a second synchronized channel for simulating clock and data lines, supporting component inspection and cell characterization with unmatched accuracy.
