A former coworker friend sent me a Tektronix 3-slot mainframe and several plug-in modules (Fig. 1). The TM500-series mainframes are 1970s vintage, but like a lot of old test equipment, can still work ...
The Tektronix AFG3000 series of arbitrary/function generators (AFG) consists of six models based on a “Generator on a Chip” (GoC) ASIC. This CMOS 0.18-micron IC provides direct digital synthesis (DDS) ...
While the vast majority of arbitrary/function generators provide a maximum of 10 V p-p amplitude into 50-ohm loads, a number of applications – particularly in automotive and power electronics design – ...
Download this article in PDF format. Arbitrary function generators (AFGs) are used to generate many different types of electrical waveforms, such as sine waves, square waves, triangular waves, and ...
