V350 function generator features
  • 4 analog + digital waveform generators
  • Command-table driven architecture
  • 1 Mword memory per channel
  • Full 40-MHz operation
  • Synchronous or independent channel operation
  • Self-test and demo modes
  • Conformal coated, wide temperature range
  • Zero-jitter trigger option

The V350 is a four-channel VME-module analog/digital  function generator that generates arbitrary waveshapes  synchronized with logic-level outputs, as might be used in control systems or radar simulation, or other COTS applications.

Each V350 channel generates one 12-bit analog waveform and up to four digital outputs by scanning sequential data points stored in user-loadable memory. Outputs are processed  by digital-to-analog converters, smoothing filters, and  output amplifiers.

Output stage multiplexing allows flexible configuration, and channels may operate independently or may be synchronized within a module or across modules.

Control and waveform generation operate at full 40-MHz rate or programmed sub-multiples. An option allows waveform generation synchronous to an external trigger without the jitter resulting from quantization to the local clock.

Each channel has 1 Mword of waveform memory controlled through a 512-block command table that includes Play, Delay, Wait, and Stop commands, conditional jump, and flag control.

Self-test and Demo modes allow quick evaluation and verification.
