Featuring 16-bit vertical resolution and a 1 GHz bandwidth, the DG6104 provides a powerful, all-in-one platform that integrates the capabilities of a function generator, arbitrary waveform generator (AWG), pulse generator, and digital modulator.
Native High-Voltage Differential Direct Drive
The DG6104 features a 4-channel high-voltage differential direct-drive architecture. This technology allows the instrument to output differential signals up to 20 Vpp (into High-Z) without the need for external power amplifiers or baluns, significantly simplifying the test chain for SiC/GaN gate drive simulations.
350 ps Fast-Edge Square Waves
Engineered for time-domain precision, the DG6104 delivers square waves up to 300 MHz with a typical transition time of 350 ps. This "gold-standard" edge performance makes it an ideal clock source for verifying high-speed digital interfaces and conducting setup/hold time analysis.
Full Channel Electrical Isolation
To ensure clean signal delivery and protect sensitive Devices Under Test (DUT), all channels are electrically isolated. This design eliminates ground loops and crosstalk, facilitating safe and accurate floating ground measurements in complex power systems.
Massive 512 Mpts Arbitrary Memory
With an optional memory depth of up to 512 Mpts per channel, the DG6104 can store and reproduce long-period, non-repetitive real-world waveforms. This capacity is essential for simulating complex environments such as radar, sonar, and automotive serial buses.
Comprehensive Integrated Signal Library
The DG6104 includes a standard suite of advanced signal generation modes, including IQ modulation, PRBS patterns, multi-pulse, multi-tone, and sequence logic. These built-in templates allow for rapid configuration of communication signals and logic verification without requiring external PC software.
Advanced Operating Modes
The instrument supports three distinct output modes to optimise performance for specific test requirements:
- HBW (High Bandwidth): Provides the maximum 1 GHz frequency range for differential outputs.
- AMP (High Amplitude): Delivers high-voltage differential signals up to 20 Vpp for power semiconductor testing.
- SND (Single-Ended): Standard single-ended BNC output for general-purpose lab applications.
Connectivity and Remote Operation
- Interfaces: Includes LAN (LXI-C compliant), USB 3.0 (Host & Device), and HDMI for external monitor support.
- Web Control: Standard Web Control functionality allows users to mirror and operate the instrument interface directly through a web browser, facilitating remote collaboration and automated testing.
