Product catalog summary
Overview: The PulseBlaster is a versatile, multichannel programmable TTL pulse and pattern generator system designed for advanced timing applications. It is particularly useful in fields such as NMR, MRI, mass spectrometry, and ultrasound.
Specifications: The system features 16 or 24 individually controlled digital output lines with TTL levels. It supports variable pulse delays and outputs a current of 25 mA per channel. Clock frequencies range from 50 to 125 MHz, with program memory space options of 32k or 512k words. The system can handle up to 24 output channels and offers a standard clock frequency of 100 MHz, with high-speed models reaching up to 400 MHz.
Applications: PulseBlaster is used in various applications including electron and nuclear resonances, mass spectrometry, ultrasound, laser control, solid-state physics, nanomagnetism, robotics, and general laboratory use.
Features: Key features include programmable pulse lengths from 50 ns to 7 days, 10 ns pulse resolution, advanced pulse-program flow control with nested loops, branches, and subroutines, and a 20-bit loop counter. It supports software and hardware triggering with up to 5 MHz retriggering frequency and is available in PCI or Compact-PCI form factors.
Output and Timing: The system's 24 output bits can deliver 25 mA per pin, with options for parallel channel combination for higher current. Timing is controlled via an internal or external frequency source up to 125 MHz, with a minimum delay cycle of five clock periods. The system supports RF pulse generation on every TTL output channel.
Instruction Set: The microprogrammed controller allows for complex program structures with branches, subroutines, and loops, supporting up to 16 nested levels. It is optimized for multidimensional spectroscopy and quantum computing applications.
Memory and Triggering: The system includes an internal memory space of 512 80-bit words, with an optional fast SRAM memory chip providing 32k words. External triggering and cascading are supported, allowing synchronization of multiple boards.
Architecture: The PulseBlaster's architecture includes SRAM memory, a microcontroller, an integrated bus controller, a counter, and output buffers, all integrated into a single silicon chip, qualifying it as a System-on-a-Chip design.

Block Diagram The Figure presents the general architecture of the PulseBlaster system. The major building blocks are the SRAM memory (both internal and external to the processor), the microcontroller (uPC), the integrated bus controller (IBC), the counter, and the output buffers. The entire logic design, excluding output buffers, is contained on a single silicon chip, making it a System-on-a-Chip design. User control to the system is provided through the integrated bus controlled over the PCI bus. Output signals... Its 24 output bits/channels are capable of delivering 25 mA per pin.
