Cosypulse, Short Pulse Generator
Developed for testing memristors
It allows for a generation of electrical pulses on the picosecond time scale without the need for an expensive and bulky laser system, which is typically required. SPG is also easy to operate and offers a wide variety of tunable parameters and possible upgrades while remaining very compact. SPG can be used in various working environments and research applications.
Key features
Precise. Highly configurable. Simple user interface. Can be developed into a custom-made solution.
- Generates ultra-short pulses (down to 22ps width)
- Develops high maximal amplitude (2,75V)
- Wide pulse width (22 ps – 11 ns) and period (625 ps – 1 s) range
- Single-shot, periodical and external-input pulse generation
- Connection for the external trigger signal
- Manual (GUI-triggered single shot) and internal/periodical trigger functionality
- Easily controlled over GUI
- Allows for unlimited settings to be saved
Benefits
- Can be used in applications where very short (~20ps) pulses are required.
- Can be used in RF applications with high amplitude needs.
- Can be used in various RF applications or applications with the need for flexibility.
- Can be made into a custom-made solution according to your needs.
