HP E1752A VXI Pulse Distribution Amplifier

The HP E1752A distribution amplifier is a C-size, 1-slot, register-based VXI module that provides up to six buffered outputs for distributing standard clock and other signals in laboratory, factory, and general ATE environments, where key requirements are: broadband sinewave or pulse buffering/distribution; distribution of precise clock frequencies; distribution of precise 1 pps timing pulses; high isolation/low crosstalk between output channels; no level adjustments; preservation of input phase and frequency characteristics with changing environment (temperature, humidity, etc.); channel fault alarm.

[ Features ]

Precision clock and 1 pps timing pulse distribution
Broadband distribution of sinewave signal and pulse trains
High port-to-port isolation to minimize system crosstalk
Visual channel-status indicators for fast and easy input and identification of individual input and output channel health
Built-in AGC for better phase stability and quick setup (no level adjustments)

Note: Configuration software that allows you to easily select compatible interfaces, controller platforms, and VXI test system components is available on CD ROM. Order the "Test System and VXI Products Catalog and CD ROM" from the Test & Measurement Catalogs available on this web site.
