GENERAL
1.1 Features
The MP1763C Pulse Pattern Generator has two data output channels (DATA and DATA) and three clock output channels
(CLOCK1, CLOCK1, CLOCK2). The MP1763C is used with the MP1764A/C Error Detector to test high-speed digital
communication systems and high-speed semiconductors. It operates over the 50 MHz to 12.5 GHz frequency range and
generates four pulse patterns: alternate, programmable, zero substitution, and pseudorandom. Programmable DATA pat-
tern can generate data up to 8 M bits and send six STM-64 (OC192) frames.
There are also seven 2N-1 (N=7, 9, 11, 15, 20, 23, 31) pseudorandom patterns. The pseudorandom pattern mark ratio can be
selected from among 0/8, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/2, 3/4, 7/8, and 8/8. Both 50 GND and ECL outputs are supported. The offset
and level can be varied. The clock (CLOCK1, CLOCK1) delay can also be adjusted by ±500ps in 1ps steps.
