Keysight Technologies 33500B Series Waveform Generators Data Sheet Trueform Technology Generate true point-by-point arbitrary waveforms with less jitter, more idelity and greater resolution 33500B Series waveform generators with exclusive Trueform signal generation technology offer more capability, fidelity and flexibility than traditional DDS generators. Use them to accelerate your development process from start to fi nish. Revolutionary advances over traditional DDS Over the past two decades, direct digital synthesis (DDS) has been the waveform generation technology of choice in function generators and economical arbitrary waveform generators. DDS enables waveform generators with great frequency resolution, convenient custom waveforms, and a low price. Trueform at 200 kHz Better Signal Integrity As with any technology, DDS has intrinsic downsides and limitations as well. Engineers with exacting requirements have had to either work around the compromised performance or spend up to 10 times more for a high-end, point-by-point waveform generator. The Keysight Technologies, Inc. Trueform technology offers a new alternative that blends the best of DDS and point-by-point architectures, giving you the benefits of both without the limitations of either. Trueform technology uses an exclusive digital sampling technique that delivers unmatched performance at the same low price you are accustomed to with DDS. DDS at 200 kHz Reduced Jitter The table below highlights the revolutionary capabilities of Trueform technology. <40 ps Trueform technology 500 ps DDS technology Lower Distortion 0.04% THD DDS: Traditional 25 MHz waveform generator Trueform: Keysight 30 MHz 33511B waveform generator Improvement Edge jitter 500 ps 40 ps 12x better Custom waveform replication Skips waveform points 100% point coverage Exact waveform replication Total harmonic distortion 0.2% 0.04% 5x better Anti-alias iltering Must provide externally Always anti-aliased No anti-aliasing artifacts Sequenced arb Not possible Standard Easily create complex waveform sequences For more information about Keysight Trueform technology please visit: www.keysight.com/find/trueform 2 Revolutionary signal generation with unmatched capabilities and idelity Easily generate the full range of signals you need for the most demanding measurements Test your devices with conidence that the waveform generator is outputting the signals you expect Select just the capabilities you need now, then upgrade easily when your needs change Unique features of the 33500B Series waveform generators Full BandwIdth Pulse Full-bandwidth pulse to 20 or 30 MHz Set leading and trailing edge times independently 2 Channels Dual channel coupling, frequency and amplitude, equal and inverted Set start phase for each channel, set phase shift between channels Sum Modulate Sum two signals together, frequency and amplitude independent 2-tone, square-sine, noise on pulse Point-By-Point Arb Create up to 1 million samples standard, 16 million optional Connect arbs together, create up to 512 sequences Voltage Settings Lowest voltage range at 1 mVpp, a 10x improvement Set high and low voltage limits to prevent overload on DUT PRBS Patterns Provides standard PRBS patterns, PN7 ...

But the 33500B Series offers many more features that give you the capabilities and lexibility you need to get your job done. Like an intuitive front-panel user interface that makes it easy to quickly relearn it when you've been focused elsewhere. Like built-in LAN, USB and GPIB interfaces that make it easy to control your instruments or transfer your waveforms to your instrument. But the 33500B Series doesn't stop there. It offers a variety of capabilities you won't ind elsewhere--capabilities that help you accelerate your testing and get your project wrapped up faster: Waveform summing and combining capability Easily add noise to your signal for margin and distortion testing using only a single channel. You can create dual-tone multifrequency signals without a dual-channel generator, which means you can preserve your budget for other test needs. On a two-channel model, you can sum and combine up to four signals. Variable-bandwidth noise You can adjust the bandwidth of the built-in noise generator to control the frequency content of your signal. Apply just the frequency stimulus you need so you concentrate the energy of your waveform in frequency bands of interest. The images at right show approximately 10 dB increase in amplitude at 50 kHz when the bandwidth is reduced 10x. You can see how the signal energy is increased in the frequencies of interest when the bandwidth is reduced, instead of being spread over a very wide bandwidth with lower amplitude at all frequencies. 4 Dual-tone signal created by summing waveforms using the modulation type, "Sum." DDS skips points at higher bandwidths DDS technology may skip points at higher frequencies Trueform never skips points, and is always anti-aliased Deine any waveform shape and any waveform length using point-by -point arbitrary waveform capability. Your waveforms are always anti-aliased for exceptional accuracy, and you can play them at any rate you select. Play your signals as deined, at your exact sample rate, without the chance of missing short-duration anomalies that are critical for testing device reliability. Trueform at 200 kHz DDS at 200 kHz misses details Trueform at 50 kHz DDS at 50 kHz Waveform sequencing Waveform sequencing lets you create multiple conigured waveforms with several common segments and lets you build long, complex waveforms using minimal instrument memory. Create the waveform in the 33503A Waveform Builder Pro and download it to the waveform generator. Waveform generator display with downloaded waveform. Scope display of waveform. 5 Trueform Technology Capabilities continued Easily generate PRBS waveforms on the 33500B Series waveform generators. Pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) pattern generation Test your digital serial buses by streaming standard PRBS patterns-- like PN7 and PN19--without the need for a separate pulse generator. With fewer instruments, setting up your tests is easier. You won't ind these built-in PRBS patterns in competitive waveform generators. You can select multiple sequence lengths (such as PN15) and bit rates up to 50 Mbit/sec to create PRBS signals. Smart phone and tablet access to full documentation Need a quick answer? Get instant access to instrument documentation in seven different languages in smart-phone-friendly WebHelp format. You can access all user documentation in the palm of your hand-- no PC or hardcopy manuals required. Another feature you won't ind in competitive function/arb generators. Flexibility in creating and playing waveforms There are ive ways to create arbitrary waveforms for use with the 33500B generator. 1. Use the included Waveform Builder Basic software to edit and download a waveform ile to the generator 2. Use 33503A Waveform Builder Pro software to create more complex waveforms and sequencing 3. Capture a waveform from an oscilloscope and download it to the generator 4. Create a waveform in MATLAB, Excel, etc. and download it to the generator 5. Use the generator's front panel to edit a waveform once it is in the generator You have lots of lexibility to choose the way you want to work. 6 Waveforms from Oscilloscopes Waveforms from MATLAB & Excel BUILT-IN Waveform Builder Basic Direct link or USB drive, CSV or ARB file USB drive CSV file Embedded waveform editor COMPATIBLE FILES Waveform Builder Pro Built-in Web browser Easily set up and control your 33500B Series generator remotely over a LAN connection using the built-in LXI Web browser. You can monitor your tests and adjust settings from another ofice or room, or even from home. Standard deep memory If you want to test your design with long, complex waveforms with a variety of anomalies, you need to make sure your waveform generator has suficient memory. The 33500B Series' standard memory is 1 MSamples deep. Typical DDS generators 1500 offer only a fraction of that 1M amount but with the 1000 33500B Series there is even a 16 MSample memory 500 option available. 128 k 0 7 Keysight Older 33500B Series generators Use the optional high-stability timebase for even better accuracy Get improved timebase stability and frequency accuracy using the optional high-stability timebase. The optional timebase offers 0.1 ppm stability, which is 20x more stable than the standard timebase over one year. Trueform Technology Signal integrity: Test your devices with conidence that your signal generator is outputting the signals you expect If your generator is introducing spurious signals or harmonics, you'll have a hard time producing reliable designs. To be successful, you need to test with clean, precise, low-noise signals. Keysight 33500B Series waveform generators offer the highest signal idelity so you can generate the exact waveforms you need for your most challenging measurements. You can be conident you are seeing your design's characteristics, not your waveform generator's, in your measurements. Lowest harmonic distortion With total harmonic distortion of just 0.04%, the 33500B Series offers 5x better idelity than other generators. Clean, spurious-free signals don't introduce noise or artifacts. See your design's characteristics, not the waveform generator's, in your measurements. 33500B Series waveform generators offer the following advantages: Lowest jitter With 12x better jitter than anything in their class, 33500B Series waveform generators offer unparalleled edge stability. You can even use them as a system clock for timing and triggering your other instruments. With better jitter performance, you can place edges more accurately, helping you reduce timing errors in your circuit design. Trueform technology significantly improves jitter performance. Keysight 33500B Series waveform generators offer the lowest total harmonic distortion (THD) in its class. <40 ps Trueform technology. 500 ps Traditional DDS technology. Faster edge times The 33500B Series' 8.4-ns rise and fall times are more than twice as fast as you'll ind in typical waveform generators. You can place edges with more conidence and more accurately set trigger points. Because of the faster transition, higher harmonic content is created, which helps you expand your understanding of your circuit. 8 Typical DDS generator has a higher noise floor and greater harmonics. Reproduce lower-voltage output signals Full bandwidth modulation sources Today's ultra-low-power products such as pacemakers, hearing aids and remote sensors use very low voltages. The 33500B Series lets you create signals as low as 1 mVpp. That's 10x better amplitude resolution than typical waveform generators offer. Eliminate the need for an external modulation source. The 33500B Series has a modulation frequency up to the frequency of the waveform being modulated. Existing DDS-based generators have a much lower internal modulation frequency. Now you can create your complex signals all within a single generator. Highest amplitude resolution The 33500B Series' 16 bits of resolution is 4x that of most waveform generators. You can make output changes all the way down to 1 V--exactly what you need for testing today's low-voltage circuits and designs. 14-BIT 16-BIT 4X improvement in vertical resolution. Full bandwidth pulses Create pulses up to 30 MHz with the 33500B Series. Most DDSbased generators offer reduced bandwidth when generating pulses. With a broader operating range, you have the frequency you need for a wider range of applications. 9 Trueform Technology Select the capabilities you need now, then upgrade easily when your needs change Investment protection Application-speciic options With most waveform generators, you get only what you pay for when you buy your instrument. But with 33500B Series waveform generators, there are eight different models to choose from so you can purchase the capability you need now and upgrade later when your project needs change. Your investment in test equipment is protected. If you need to generate 30 MHz waveforms or arbitrary waveforms, or if you need deeper memory for generating more complex signals, you can easily add the capability after the fact with software upgrades. And there's no price penalty for adding the capability later.

Cet appareil ISM est conforme a la norme NMB-001 du Canada Acoustic Noise (nom) SPL 35 dB(A) Line power Voltage 100 V - 240 V 50/60 Hz -5%, +10% 100 V - 120 V 400 Hz 10% Power consumption (typ) < 45 W, < 130 VA Warranty 1 year standard, 3 years optional 21 Deinitions Speciication (spec) The warranted performance of a calibrated instrument that has been stored for a minimum of 2 hours within the operating temperature range of 0 C - 55 C and after a 45-minute warm up period. All specifications include measurement uncertainty and were created in compliance with ISO-17025 methods. Data published in this document are specifications (spec) only where specifically indicated. Typical (typ) The characteristic performance, which 80% or more of manufactured instruments will meet. This data is not warranted, does not include measurement uncertainty, and is valid only at room temperature (approximately 23C). Nominal (nom) The mean or average characteristic performance, or the value of an attribute that is determined by design such as a connector type, physical dimension, or operating speed. This data is not warranted and is measured at room temperature (approximately 23C). Measured (meas) An attribute measured during development for purposes of communicating the expected performance. This data is not warranted and is measured at room temperature (approximately 23C). Accuracy Represents the traceable accuracy of a specified parameter. Includes measurement error and timebase error, and calibration source uncertainty. Random measuremet errors are combined using the root-sum-square method and are multiplied by M for the desired Confidence Level. Syatematic errors are added linearly and include time skew errors, trigger timing errors, and timebase errors as appropriate for each measurement type. Conidence Level For 99% Confidence use k= 2.5 in accuracy calculations. For 95% Confidence use k= 2.0 in accuracy calculations. 1. Add 1/10th of the output amplitude and offset accuracy specification per C for operation at temperatures beyond 23C 5C. 2. Auto range ON. 3. DC Offset set to zero. 4. limited to arbitrary waveforms that are < 1 million points; phase resolution limited by number of points in arbitrary waveforms < 3,600 points. 5. Output noise is typically 20 dB lower when (DC + Peak AC) < 320 mV (into 50 ) or 640 mV (into open circuit). 6. Subject to maximum output voltage limits. 7. All frequency changes are phase-continuous. 8. Subject to pulse width limits. 9. Counted Burst operation is not allowed for Gaussian Noise. 10.
