February, 2020 Spectrum Intros 48-Channel Synchronous AWG
Hackensack, NJ —Designed for engi- neers and scientists that need to simultaneously generate multiple electronic test signals, Spectrum Instrumentation’s latest line of AWGs offers 24 to 48 synchronous channels in a single rack unit. Suitable for multichannel, auto-
mated testing applications, the eight different variants achieve full remote
control through a simple Ethernet connection to any PC or local area network (LAN), making them easy to integrate into almost any test sys- tem. The units offer state-of-the-art 16-bit digital-to-analog converter technology combined with low-noise flexible outputs, allowing them to generate almost any test signal in the DC to 60 MHz frequency range.
The new DN6.65x series of
generatorNETBOX instruments are available with 24, 32, 40, or 48 fully synchronous channels, complement- ing the recently introduced and smaller DN2.65x products. Such a high channel count sets a new stan- dard for AWGs, while also delivering an advantageous price per channel. Set up, programming and controlling a single instrument is much simpler than trying to build and operate any multichannel system that needs to employ a number of individual AWG instruments. To handle different signal gener-
ation requirements, users can select from models that offer output rates of either 40 MS/s or 125 MS/s. Each channel has its own DAC that is syn- chronously clocked using a PLL con- trol system. The reference clock, as well as a direct clock, can be fed in externally. Four different filters are available to optimize the system and to help ensure excellent dynamic per- formance. A wide range of signal ampli-
tudes can be be generated with pro- grammable output swings of up to ±6V into high impedance or ±3V into 50W. The units include large onboard memories that can be utilized in a number of different operating modes to allow the generation of long and complex waveforms. This includes single-shot, loop, FIFO, and gated replay modes. To aid integration into automat- ed testing systems, the AWGs come
complete with front-panel, multipur- pose I/O connectors. These give access to synchronous digital out- puts, trigger output, the instruments run and arm status, the PLL refer-

ence clock or asynchronous I/O lines. The new AWGs are fully self-
contained and come with all the tools necessary to generate an unlimited variety of waveforms. Simply connect them to a host computer or anywhere on the corporate network and start up Spectrum’s SBench 6 Professional software. SBench 6 is included as standard with every unit. Built-in features include standard wave shapes, such as sine, rectangular, tri- angle, sawtooth, SINC, and DC. Waveforms can also be created from equations,
devices or other software programs. Contact: Spectrum

GaN and ON Semicon Offer Half-Bridge Evaluation Board
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada — GaN Systems and ON Semiconductor have partnered to create a high-speed, half- bridge GaN daughter board using GaN Systems’ 650V, 30A GaN E- HEMTs and ON Semiconductor’s award-winning NCP51820 high-speed gate driver evaluation board. This evaluation board is devel-
oped for existing and new PCB designs and allows designers to easi-
ly evaluate GaN in existing half?bridge or full?bridge power sup- plies. The kit has a reduced compo- nent count in an ultra-small 1 x 1 in. (25 x 25 mm) layout, minimizing PCB space. Features, which include

High-speed, half-bridge GaN evaluation board.
1+ MHz operation and a 200 V/ns CMTI rating, provide increased power density and improved per- formance with fast-switching GaN power transistors. Benefits include significant
reductions in power losses, weight, size (up to 80 percent in layout size), and system costs (up to 60 percent BOM cost savings) and is suitable for applications that include AC-DC adapters, data center power supplies, PV inverters, energy storage sys- tems, and bridgeless totem pole topologies. This solution is one of many upcoming GaN-based power system solutions both companies are
developing. Contact: GaN Systems, 1145
