Berkeley BNC Model 6040 100 MHz Universal Pulse Generator 0.01Hz to 100 MHz

THE MODEL 6040 MAINFRAME

Listed below are the timing and output characteristics of the 6040 mainframe. However, modules determine specific performance limits and characteristics such as maximum pulse width and maximum rep rate.

Internal Rep Rate Generator	0.01Hz to 100 MHz Accuracy: 0.01%
Pulse Width	3 ns to 640 secs, resolution of 1 ns or 5 digits, Accuracy 0.2% Jitter 25 ps (typ)
Delay	0 ns to 640 secs, resolution of 1 ns or 5 digits, Accuracy 0.2% Jitter 25 ps (typ)
Trig Out	3 ns wide, 2V high T0 pulse into 50 Ω.
Pulse Out	+4V pulse into 50 Ω (typ)
Transition Time	1 ns rise time 1.5 ns fall time
ECL Out	An ECL level output into 50 Ω. 700 ps rise time (typ)
External Trigger	0 to 100 MHz, User-selectable Slope and Threshold settings 50 Ω input impedance.
Single Cycle	Front Panel push-button initiates a single pulse cycle.
Double Pulse	A pair of identical Width pulses separated by the Delay for each event.
Impulse	A sub-ns impulse is provided for each event. (optical only)
External Drive	An incoming waveform drives the output of a module between two selected levels.
External Modulation	Analog or digital signals modulate the output of an optical module with high bandwidths. (optical only)
CW	Constant light level outputs. (optical only)

Even the mainframe 6040 without any module provides capable positive and negative outputs. Capabilities of the mainframe with its modules include single pulse, double pulse, impulse, external drive, external modulation, and CW. The modules themselves determine which of these capabilities are available. Some modules can operate to the full repetition rate of the mainframe; others are limited to a smaller number.
