HP 5334B 100 MHz Universal Counter

Product Summary

The HP 5334B counter offers high-resolution measurement power with versatile signal conditioning, triggering, and external arming features to handle a range of demanding measurement applications. Rise and fall time, pulse width, and AC/DC voltage can be measured at the push of a button or with a single HP-IB command. Automatic trigger level and attenuator settings provide adjustment-free measurements that are displayed in units of your choice.

Options include extended frequency to 1.3 GHz for communication and navigation applications.

Product Features

• 200 ps time interval average resolution, 2 ns single-shot resolution

• Selectable resolution and measurement time

• Full complement of measurements

• External arming increases measurement capability

• Two matched 100 MHz A and B input channels (optional 1.3 GHz C channel)

Product Specifications

CHANNEL A and CHANNEL B

Range:
	dc coupled: 0 to 100 MHz.
	ac coupled: 1 Mohm 30 Hz to 100 MHz, 50 ohm 1 MHz to 100 MHz.

Sensitivity:
	15 mV rms sine wave to 20 MHz.
	35 mV rms sine wave to 100 MHz.
	100 mV peak-to-peak at a minimum pulse width of 5 ns.

	Sensitivity can be continuously varied to 150 mV rms (NOMINAL)
	using the TRIGGER LEVEL/SENS control in sensitivity mode.  In
	this mode, trigger levels are automatically set to 0V NOMINAL.

Trigger Level:
	Range:
	   Manual (Auto Trigger OFF):

		Read Levels in 20 mV steps.  In X10, ±51V displayed
		in 200 mV steps.

	Preset: 0V NOMINAL in Sensitivity Mode.

		Auto Trigger: See Automatic Measurement Section.

		Accuracy (Read Levels):

			X1: ±30 mV ±1% of trigger level reading.

			X10: ±300 mV ±1% of trigger level reading.

Damage Level:

	

	50 ohm: 5V rms

	1 Mohm X1:

		

		0 to 3.5 kHz: 200 V (dc + peak ac).

		3.5 kHz to 100 kHz: 5 × 10e6 V rms Hz/FREQ.

		>100 kHz: 50V rms.

		
	
Common Input: All specifications are the same as for separate
operation except for the following:

	

	Sensitivity:

		

		15 mV rms sine wave to 20 MHz.

		75 mV rms sine wave to 100 MHz.

		210 mV peak-to-peak at a minimum pulse width of 5 ns.

		
	Dynamic Range (X1):

		

		45 mV to 5V peak-to-peak to 20 MHz.

		210 mV to 2.5V peak-to-peak to 100 MHz.

50 ohm NOMINAL.

	(Resistance values are measured at dc and capacitance values at 10 MHz.)

	


EXTERNAL ARM


Front panel ARM Input can be used to determine Start and/or Stop point
of a measurement. External Arm can be used with all measurements except
Read Levels.

Maximum Transition Time: 1 µs.

Sensitivity: 500 mV peak-to-peak.

Signal Operating Range: -5 Vdc to +5 Vdc.

Dynamic Range: 500 mV to 10V peak-to-peak.

Accuracy: ± Resolution ± Timebase Error



PERIOD A


RANGE: 10 ns to 10e3 s.

LSD: ((4 ns) / (Gate Time)) × PER.

Resolution: ± LSD ± ((1.4 × Trigger Error + 1 ns rms) / (Gate Time)) × PER.

Error ± 1 ns rms (100 ps rms using 100 GATE AVERAGE).

Accuracy: ±± Timebase Error ± Trigger Level
Timing Error ± Trigger Level Settling Error ± 2 ns (1pp ps rms using
100 GATE AVERAGE).



TIME INTERVAL DELAY


Used with Time Interval A to B, a selectable delay can be inserted between
START (Channel A trigger) and STOP (Channel B trigger). Electrical inputs
during delay are ignored. Specifications are the same as for Time Interval A to B.

Delay Range: 1 ms to 99.999 s (1 ms steps).

Delay Accuracy: ±100 µs ±0.05% × DELAY TIME.
