HP 16522A 200M Vector/Sec Pattern Generator Module

The HP 16522A digital pattern generator module is the perfect tool for functional testing of your digital design. The pattern generator allows you to check the functional characteristics of your system. See how your system responds to unanticipated signals or clock speeds. Correlate data captured with other modules to verify correct operation. Use the pattern generator module in automated test environments to run design qualification tests quickly, using only one instrument. Save time normally spent on developing custom test hardware used for stimulus.

[ Features ]

Vectors up to 200 Bits Wide
Up to five, 40-channel pattern generator modules can be interconnected within the modular logic analysis system (HP 16500B) to support vectors of any width up to 200 bits with excellent channel-to-channel skew characteristics.
Synchronized Clock Output
You can operate with either an internal or external clock. The external clock is input via a clock pod, and has no minimum frequency or duty cycle requirements. The internal clock is selected as a clock period from 4 KHz to 200 MHz in steps of 250, 200, 100, 80, 50, 40, 25, 20, 10, 8, 5, etc. s or ns. A Clock Out signal is available from the clock pod and can be used as an edge strobe with a variable delay of up to 11 ns.
Wait for Input Pattern
The clock pod also accepts a 3-bit input pattern. These inputs are level-sensed so that any number of "Wait for Pattern" points can be inserted into a stimulus program. Up to four pattern conditions can be defined. A "Wait for IMB" can also be defined to wait for a intermodule measurement bus event.
Initialize Block for Repetitive Runs
The vectors in the initialize block are only output during the first occurrence of a repetitive run. This feature is very useful when the circuit or subsystem needs to be initialized. A "Signal IMB" instruction can be inserted to signal other modules to start acquisition at the time "interesting activity" is started.
Macros and Repeat Loops Simplify Creation of Stimulus Programs
Parameterized macros permit you to define a pattern sequence, once, and then insert the macro by name wherever it is needed. Repeat loops enable you to repeat a defined block of vectors a specified number of times. A memory utilization indicator helps you track the number of vectors contained in the stimulus program.
ASCII Input File Format
The pattern generator module supports an ASCII file format which facilitates connectivity to other tools in your design environment. By generating stimulus vectors in this file format, you can read stimulus programs into the pattern generator via a LAN (Local Area Network) connection, via an HP-IB connection, or via a floppy disk drive. This format has been specifically designed for fast file transfer into the pattern generator module.
