PulseBlasterTM
is a general-purpose, multichannel,
programmable TTL pulse generator / digital
word generator. It offers up to 24
individually controlled channels, powerful
program-flow features, and variable output
rates ranging from ns to days per interval.
PulseBlasterTM
implements a novel 80-bit Very-Long
Instruction Word (VLIW) architecture. Due to
its versatility and intelligence, it is
most commonly used as a powerful timing engine
for applications requiring sophisticated pulse
sequences and output patterns, precision
timing of wide-ranging intervals, and complex
system control.
The standard form factor is
PCI-e, and the standard clock frequency is 100
MHz. Higher clock rates are available,
currently up to 500 MHz (the PBESR-PRO series
of boards).
Key Specifications
- Standard clock frequency of 100 MHz
- High-speed models available, currently up
to 500 MHz clock frequency (PBESR-PRO
series of
boards)
- Standard clock stability of 100 ppm, with
optional oven-controlled clock oscillator
(OCXO) of 200
ppb
- Up to 24 individually controlled output
channels
- Up to 25 mA output current per channel
(varies by firmware, please consult manual)
- DB-25 bracket mounted connector
- IDC headers for on-board access to signals
- Programmable pulse lengths from six clock
periods (60 ns at 100 MHz) to 7 days per
instruction. Pulses as short as 2.0 ns are
available (PulseBlasterESR-PRO model at
500 MHz)
- 10 ns pulse resolution (at 100 MHz)
- 4k pulse program instruction word memory
depths available
- Advanced pulse-program flow control:
nested loops (8 levels), branches, and
subroutines
- 20-bit loop counter (over 1 million
events/repetitions)
- Software and hardware triggering, up to 5
MHz retriggering frequency
- PCIe form factor
