INTRODUCTION

Model AVR-D2-B is specifically designed to perform MIL-PRF-19500 switching time

tests, but it is also useful as a high-speed medium-voltage general-purpose laboratory

pulse generator.

The main output (channel 1) provides a ±6 to ±30 Volt (±40 V for units with the -SOA

option) pulse. The pulse width is adjustable from 200 ns to 20 us. The 10%-90% rise

time is ≤ 1.5 ns (≤ 1.0 ns for units with the -TRF option), and the fall time is ≤ 2 ns.

A second output (channel 2) provides a ±2 Volt, 15 ns wide pulse, with 1.5 ns rise times

(10%-90%) and 2.5 ns fall times.

Both outputs require a 50Ω load. A variable DC offset of 0 to ± 15 Volts may be added

to the outputs.

Only one channel is active at a time. There is a single main output connector. Internal

relays connect the desired channel to the output connector.

The AVR-D2-B is a highly flexible instrument. Aside from the internal trigger source, it

can also be triggered or gated by external TTL-level signals. A front-panel pushbutton

or a computer command can also be used to trigger the instrument.

The AVR-D2-B features front panel keyboard and adjust knob control of the output

pulse parameters along with a four line by 40 character back-lit LCD display of the

output amplitude, pulse width, pulse repetition frequency, and delay. The instrument

includes memory to store up to four complete instrument setups. The operator may use

the front panel or the computer interface to store a complete “snapshot” of all key

instrument settings, and recall this setup at a later time.

This instrument is intended for use in research, development, test and calibration

laboratories by qualified personnel.

AVAILABLE OPTIONS

-SOA Option This option increases the maximum channel amplitude from ±30 Volts to

±40 Volts.

-TRF Option This option decreases the specified rise time of the CH1 output from 1.5

ns to 1.0 ns (10%-90%).

The -SOA and -TRF options are mutually exclusive.

Included. Recommended as a modern alternative to GPIB / RS-232.

See http //www.avtechpulse.com/options/vxi for details.

Settings resolution The resolution of the timing parameters (pulse width, delay, period) varies,

but is always better than 0.15% of (|set value| + 20 ns).

The amplitude resolution is < 0.1% of the maximum amplitude.

Settings accuracy Typically ± 3% (±1 ns or ± 2% of max. amplitude) after 10 minute warmup. For high-accuracy

applications requiring traceable calibration, verify the output with a calibrated oscilloscope4.

Jitter ± 35 ps ± 0.015% of sync delay

Trigger modes Internal trigger, external trigger (TTL level pulse, > 50 ns, 1 kΩ input impedance),

front-panel “Single Pulse” pushbutton, or single pulse trigger via computer command.

Variable delay Sync to main out 0 to 1.0 seconds, for all trigger modes (including external trigger).

Sync output > +3 Volts, > 50 ns, will drive 50 Ohm loads

Monitor output Provides a 20 dB attenuated coincident replica of main output

Connectors BNC

Dimensions, temperature range 100 x 430 x 375 mm (3.9 x 17 x 14.8”), +5°C to +40°C

1) -B suffix indicates IEEE-488.2 GPIB and RS-232 control of amplitude, pulse width, PRF and delay. (See http //www.avtechpulse.com/gpib).

2) The maximum amplitude may be increased from 30V to 40V by specifying the -SOA option.

3) Add the -TRF suffix to the model number to specify the ≤ 1.0 ns rise time option. Not available with the -SOA option.

4) These instruments are provided with a basic calibration checksheet, showing a selection of measured output parameters. These measurements are performed with

equipment that is calibrated on a regular basis by a third-party ISO/IEC 17025 2005 accredited calibration laboratory. However, Avtech itself does not claim any

accreditation. For applications requiring traceable performance, use a calibrated measurement system rather than relying on the accuracy of the pulse generator settings.

REGULATORY NOTES

FCC PART 18

This device complies with part 18 of the FCC rules for non-consumer industrial,

scientific and medical (ISM) equipment.

This instrument is enclosed in a rugged metal chassis and uses a filtered power entry

module (where applicable). The main output signal is provided on a shielded connector

that is intended to be used with shielded coaxial cabling and a shielded load. Under

these conditions, the interference potential of this instrument is low.

If interference is observed, check that appropriate well-shielded cabling is used on the

output connectors. Contact Avtech (info@avtechpulse.com) for advice if you are unsure

of the most appropriate cabling. Also, check that your load is adequately shielded. It

may be necessary to enclose the load in a metal enclosure.

If any of the connectors on the instrument are unused, they should be covered with

shielded metal “dust caps” to reduce the interference potential.

This instrument does not normally require regular maintenance to minimize interference

potential. However, if loose hardware or connectors are noted, they should be

tightened. Contact Avtech (info@avtechpulse.com) if you require assistance.

FIRMWARE LICENSING

Instruments with firmware versions 5.00 or higher use open-source software internally.

Some of this software requires that the source code be made available to the user as a

condition of its licensing. This source code is available upon request (contact

[email protected]m).

Earlier firmware versions do not contain any open source software.

INSTALLATION

VISUAL CHECK

After unpacking the instrument, examine to ensure that it has not been damaged in

shipment. Visually inspect all connectors, knobs, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and the

handles. Confirm that a power cord, a GPIB cable, and two instrumentation manuals

(this manual and the “Programming Manual for -B Instruments”) are with the

instrument. If the instrument has been damaged, file a claim immediately with the

company that transported the instrument.

POWER RATINGS

This instrument is intended to operate from 100 - 240 V, 50 - 60 Hz.

The maximum power consumption is 74 Watts. Please see the “FUSES” section for

information about the appropriate AC and DC fuses.

This instrument is an “Installation Category II” instrument, intended for operation from a

normal single-phase supply.

CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY

An IEC-320 three-pronged recessed male socket is provided on the back panel for AC

power connection to the instrument. One end of the detachable power cord that is

supplied with the instrument plugs into this socket. The other end of the detachable

power cord plugs into the local mains supply. Use only the cable supplied with the

instrument. The mains supply must be earthed, and the cord used to connect the

instrument to the mains supply must provide an earth connection. (The supplied cord

does this.)

Warning Failure to use a grounded outlet may result in injury or death due to

electric shock. This product uses a power cord with a ground connection. It must be

connected to a properly grounded outlet. The instrument chassis is connected to the

ground wire in the power cord.

The table below describes the power cord that is normally supplied with this instrument,

depending on the destination region
