ST-292 10 Gbps Pattern Generator

Cost Effective for Production and Addtnl R&D Setups Minimal Operator Training No Setup/Down Time Competitive Performance
Jitter: 1.3 ps (typical), 1.5 ps (maximum) Rise Time (20-80%): 22 ps (typical), 27 ps (maximum) Fall Time (20-80%): 20 ps (typical), 25 ps (maximum)

Low Profile Design

Internal module is 4.5 x 4.5 x 1 plus size of DRO

Offers Stable Internal DRO Clock or External Input Limitations

Factory fixed frequency and pattern length No internal adjustments to eye (eye manipulation)
