The PM8572 offers unmatched performance even compared to instruments designed to generate fewer types of signals. Its smart, compact, 2U 1/2 rack size box design will allow designers and manufacturers to conserve substantial bench space, while benefiting from high performance, high bandwidth, signal integrity, reliability and the flexibility to adapt to a full spectrum of applications, for many years to come, offering never-before integration levels, which make it the best in its category for size-price-performance.

Model PM8572 implements command emulators to both new and discontinued Pulse and Function Generators sold in the market, providing smooth transition for all the aging automatic test systems that face obsolescence and maintenance problems. The unique feature will allow clients to easily "drop-in" the PM8572 in slots vacated by out-of-order Agilent, Fluke, HP, LeCroy, Tabor, Tektronix or Wavetek models, solving TPS programmers' replacement issues.

Model PM8572 is very high performance, Dual channel pulse/pattern generator that stretch normal pulse generators' spec to the limit, becoming by far the most advanced Pulse/Waveform Source available in the market. In addition to its high performance pulse features, the new PM8572 generate a complete array of standard, arbitrary and sequenced waveforms in which are necessities in today's laboratories.

While changing timing parameters such as frequency, it is crucial that the signal remains clear and precise. The glitch- and drop-out-free capabilities assure continuous operation, even when changing timing parameters.

If your application requires more than just a fixed duty cycle or programmable pulse width, then you can modulate and control your leading edge with any standard or arbitrary waveform shape. Combine all of these features with external pulse width control and you have an extremely versatile pulse generation tool.

Need to control pulse transitions and placement? Just program each channel to output pulses with linear or fast transitions and control edge placement with 10 ps resolution.

16-bits are available as digital patterns from a rear-panel VHDC connector. The standard output level is LVDS which is efficient and sufficient for high speed digital data transmissions, however, programmable levels and impedances can be achieved by using a standard external accessory.

While typical pulse/function generators come with loVpp into 50 Ohm, model 8572 provides an unmatched output of 16Vpp into 50 ohm (32 Vpp into open circuit). On top of that, the 8572 output impedance can be programmed simply either from the front panel or through remote to fit the UUT requirement.
