Digital Delay Generators

Highland has introduced three unique features to digital delay generation: a "Queued Updates" feature allows time settings to be changed without corrupting ongoing timings; a "Train" feature allows multiple pulses to be generated from each trigger; and a "Frames" feature allows complex delay sweeps and pulse scenarios to be pre-loaded and rapidly executed. Digital delay and pulse generators are available in 1-6 channels, with square, Gaussian, and arbitrary waveshapes, and insertion delays as low as 10 nanoseconds.

P400 4-channel benchtop digital delay and pulse generator

Generates delays up to 1000 seconds in 1 picosecond increments, on four separately programmable delay-and-width outputs.

25 nanosecond insertion delay
< 10 picosecond RMS jitter typical
1 picosecond resolution

T560 4-channel compact digital delay and pulse generator

Accepts an internal or external trigger and generates four precise output pulses, each user programmable in time delay and width.

20 nanosecond insertion delay
16 MHz max trigger rate
10 ps delay and width resolution, 10 s range

T564 4-channel compact advanced digital delay and pulse train generator

Allows a scenario of more than 8000 frames to be preloaded and then executed in rapid succession, advancing automatically as triggers are received.

Pulse Generators

Highland Technology pulse generators translate low-level signals with slow edges into clean, fast pulses with amplitudes of up to 100V. DC and transformer coupled models are available.
