Fast Rise/Fall Time Pulser


 

There has been discussion recently about generating fast rise/fall time pulses by various means. Here is a link to a Leo Bodnar device that will provide <40 ps rise/fall time, 50% duty cycle, 10 MHz pulses:



This is built on a small PWB with integral BNC connector, powered by 5 vdc through a USB B connector; a trigger output is provided. Price is US$68.

I've ordered one of these for testing.

Is anyone here using one of these?

Yes, works as advertised as far as I can tell.? There is plenty of discussion and many screenshots here:

The Leo Bodnar pulser output level is adjustable but at outputs higher than some 1 v P-P the rise/fall times increase. I reported the ~0.95 v P-P as what was reported on the datasheet for *my* pulser.

Ok, per Leo's August 7, 2017 post, the output device is a Maxim MAX3949. Mine is marked, "AJK BAA." Does anyone know the origin or significance of that marking?

Per Leo's August 5, 2017 post, the pulser fastest rise time occurs when the output level is set to 820 mv and the scope reports 976 mvpp. That is consistent with what is reported for my pulser on the supplied test datasheet.

Why would you want to set the output level higher than that at which the risetime is fastest? ~ 1 vpp seems enough.

The Maxim datasheet doesn't say anything about the product marking.
Here's Leo's later post:

It's adjustable up to 1.2VPP into 50ohms, or 2.4VPP open circuit.

SMD parts are too small to have a human readable full
part number, so manufacturers either leave them blank
(thanks alot!) or put a code on them that uniquely ID's
the part within the manufacturer. The tables are available,
though you might have to search a bit.
