ASNTPRBS20C_v2

The ASNT_PRBS20C is a broadband 27-1 or 215-1 PRBS generator intended for test, prototyping of microwave communication applications. The board features a programmable clock synthesizer up to 22GHz, and it also supports external clock signal use. The PRBS data amplitude and phase are adjustable on both differential outputs. Signal amplitude for both PRBS outputs adjustable from 50mV to 1.2V single-ended peak to peak. A single-ended clock from 10MHz to 22GHz with an amplitude as low as 50mV peak to peak may be applied to the high-speed clock input. A buffered differential clock output from internal programmable clock generator is provided. A programmable divide differential Sync Output provides a divided copy of input clock from 1 to 256. The Sync Output is usually used to trigger the high-speed oscilloscope. The system is capable of triggering for an eye diagram for PRBS7/PRBS15 or PRBS7 pattern with divide ratios 127 or 254. The on-board USB 2.0 port allows connection to any compatible PC for simplified software-based operation.
