13G Clock Synthesizer

Designed to meet multiple clocking applications in one small box!

Product description

The Centellax TG1C1-A Clock Synthesizer is a cost-effective wideband signal generator with high-UI jitter injection capability. It is ideally suited for manufacturing testing, device characterization, and research and development lab applications.

The TG1C1-A features two pairs of differential outputs, one jittered, one unjittered, and four other pairs of jittered and unjittered single-ended outputs. The synthesizer can be controlled from the front-panel or through GPIB. The TG1C1-A operates from 500MHz to 13.5GHz.

Centellax instruments ship with a standard one-year warranty, with an extended warranty available, and free calibration during the warranty period. The Centellax LabView VI driver allows you to easily integrate the equipment into your test system via the GPIB interface.

Product documentation

Centellax Signal Integrity Studio (SIS)

Use SIS software to easily control multiple Centellax instruments using an easy-to-understand Windows-based Graphical User Interface (GUI). SIS enables you to record and display a series of BER measurements without investing in additional programs. The SIS software is available as a free download, click here for more information.

NI labview drivers

Watch this spot for the National Instruments LabView drivers that will be provided free of charge with no user license required. You may download, modify, and freely distribute the driver. Centellax offers no direct or implied warranty on the software; contact National Instruments for troubleshooting or compatibility concerns. The driver allows virtual instrument (VI) GUI control of the clock synthesizer.

IVI-COM driver

Centellax IVI-COM instrument drivers are provided free of charge to assist you in developing software using Centellax instruments. The driver is a COM-model API that can be used in most application development environments, including Visual C# .NET, Visual Basic .NET, LabView, LabWindows/CVI, MATLAB, Visual Basic 6.0, Visual C++, and others. Review the Centellax appnotes and the IVI Foundation 'Quick Start' guides for use examples.
