Dual Channel Clock Driver Card
PI-41400
The PI-41400 is a dual channel Clock Driver card capable of operating up to 190 MHz into a 50-ohm load and up to 80 MHz at an amplitude of 8 volts into a 1-megohm load. Into a high impedance load the output voltage range is from a –3 volts to 8 volts with the output pulse amplitude ranging from 0.5 V to 9 V. When driving a 50 load the voltage range is –1.5 volts to 4.5 volts with the output pulse amplitude ranging from 0.25 V to 4.5 V. The rise and fall times of the output pulse are variable from 1.2 ns to 9 ns into a 50-ohm load and <5 ns to 9 ns into a HiZ load. The output pulse amplitude and the load being driven determine the range of variability. The driver output can be set for tri-state operation and the output polarity can be set for ‘Normal’ or ‘Inverted’ operation through software.

Digital Acquisition Card
PI-41000
The PI-41000-4G is a CompactPCI® bus based instrument card that allows the user to capture up to 32-bits of digital data into an on-board memory at clock rates up to 120 MHz. The inputs are software configurable to provide one 32-bit wide channel, one 16-bit wide channel with double depth or two 16-bit channels. When configured with a single 16-bit input, the card will capture at up to 120 MHz. When configured with two 16-bit inputs or as a single 32-bit input, the card will capture at up to 80 MHz. Each digital data channel requires three timing signals, frame, line and pixel to accommodate the data capture. When operating in a two channel mode, clocks from channel A can be used to provide timing to channel B. For wider words or multiple channels, more boards can be used in parallel.

Dual Channel, Low-Noise DC Bias Card
PI-41701
The PI-41701 is a dual channel bipolar DC Bias supply that can provide an output current up to 100 mA per channel. The output voltage ranges from –8 V to +8 V and features programmable current limits with LED indicators and software interrupt to show/alert the user if the channel is in current limit. This card has special filter circuitry to reduce the output noise for those applications that require a low noise bias output.

Dual Channel Driver Card
42460
Two channels of 32 MHz clock drivers with up to 20 volt amplitude. The output voltage range is ±20 V, with independent high and low voltage settings. The inputs to the Card can be optically isolated. The card also contains voltage and current sense capability, which allows muxing of the current or voltage output measurements from all the Driver Channels in the system to a single DVM. The card allows independent programming of the rise and fall time of each channel one nanosecond increments.

Dual Channel Driver Card
40461
Two channels of 8 to 10 MHz drivers (25 V amplitude). The output voltage range is ±25V, with independent high and low voltage settings. The inputs to the Card are optically isolated. The card also contains voltage and current sense capability, which allows muxing of the current or voltage output measurements from all the Driver Channels in the system to a single DVM. The card allows independent programming of the rise and fall time of each channel as low as one nanosecond increments.

Four Channel Clock Driver Card
PI-41401
The PI-41401 is a four channel Clock Driver card capable of operating up to 140 MHz at 3V and 100 MHz at 5V amplitudes into a 50 Ohm load. The PI-41401 has a clock rate of 90 MHz at an amplitude of 5 volts into a 1-MOhm load. Into a high impedance load the output voltage range is from –5 volts to +8 volts with the pulse amplitude ranging from 0V to 9V. When driving a 50 load the voltage range is –2.5 volts to 4.0 volts with the pulse amplitude ranging from effectively 0V to 4.5V. Each channel has a common edgespeed control to vary the rising and falling edges of the output waveform. The adjustable slew rate range, for any amplitude, is the minimum edgespeed of that amplitude times 5. The output pulse amplitude and the load being driven determine the range of variability.

Four Channel Low-Noise DC Bias Card
PI-41702
The PI-41702 is a four channel bipolar DC Bias supply that can provide an output current up to 100 mA per channel. The output voltage ranges from –8 V to +8 V, and this card has special filter circuitry to reduce the output noise for those applications that require a low noise bias output. Additionally there is a ‘D’ type connector that allows the introduction of laboratory type supplies to reduce the noise further. To change from using the internal power supplies to external power supplies requires repositioning jumpers. The PI-41702 also has voltage and current sense for remote measurement of the voltage and current levels.

Graphical Waveform Editor and Instrument
PI-PAT
Much more than just a visualization tool, PI-PAT is a full-fledged graphical waveform editor that allows you to spend more time testing and less time programming. PI-PAT doesn't require any programming experience or complicated syntax. Just draw or type patterns directly into the pattern window. Move a clock edge by dragging it. Adjust integration times by entering a single number. Change the output to your DUT by clicking the Update button. You'll never have to wrangle DSP or FPGA code with PI-PAT.

Dual Channel Tri-Level Driver Card
40465
Two channels of 10MHz drivers, that can be operated as standard Two-Level Drivers or operated as two channels of Tri-Level Drivers. In the Two-Level mode, the input to each driver channel requires one channel of TTL level timing. Tri-and four level modes require a second clock input. In the Tri-Level Mode, the output from lowest rail to high rail can be 18.5V. Like the 40460 the rise and fall time as well as the high and low voltage levels of each channel is programmable.

Instrument Mainframe
PI-11006
The PI-11006 Instrument Chassis was designed to accommodate the power and noise requirements of some of Pulse Instruments analog instrument cards. These instrument cards, such as the PI-41401, PI-41702 and others supply signal outputs that require more current from the -12 V supply than available in a standard chassis. Therefore this chassis has a larger -12 V power supply that provides 2.5 Amps.
