Keysight 81160A Pulse Function Arbitrary Noise Generator

Overview

The Keysight 81160A is a high-precision pulse function arbitrary noise generator designed to eliminate the need for complex multi-instrument setups in device stress testing. With intrinsic jitter of 7 ps rms, it delivers the timing stability required for both general-purpose bench tests and advanced serial data stress testing applications.

Key Features

• 330-MHz pulse generation with 500-MHz function/arbitrary waveform capability
• 2.5-GSa/s sample rate with 14-bit vertical resolution
• White Gaussian noise with selectable crest factors for controlled stress testing
• Glitch-free timing parameter changes without drop-outs or device resets
• Arbitrary bit-pattern generation up to 330 or 660 Mbit/s with optional licensing
• Intrinsic jitter of 7 ps rms for precise timing measurements

Applications

• Serial bus standard compliance testing
• Device stress testing and performance characterization
• Digital signal integrity analysis
• Waveform distortion and noise stress testing

Included Accessories

• Certificate of calibration
