Use them to accelerate your development process from start to inish. –1 GSa/s sampling rate and up to 120 MHz bandwidth –Arbs with sequencing and up to 64 MSa memory – 1 ps jitter, 200x better than DDS generators –5x lower harmonic distortion than DDS –Compatible with Keysight Technologies, Inc. BenchVue software Trueform DDS Better Signal Integrity Reduced Jitter Trueform technology DDS technology <1 ps <200 ps Lower Distortion Over the past two decades, DDS has been the waveform generation technology of choice in function generators and economical arbitrary waveform generators. DDS enables waveform generators with great frequency resolution, convenient custom waveforms, and a low price. As with any technology, DDS has its limitations. Engineers with exacting requirements have had to either work around the compromised performance or spend up to 5 times more for a high- end, point-per-clock waveform generator. Keysight Technologies, Inc. Trueform technology offers an alternative that blends the best of DDS and point-per-clock architectures, giving you the beneits of both without the limitations of either. Trueform technology uses an exclusive digital sampling technique that delivers unmatched performance at the same low price you are accustomed to with DDS.

04 | Keysight | M33600A Series Trueform Waveform Generators - Data Sheet Unmatched capabilities for generating a full range of signals for the most demanding requirements The 33600A Series waveform generators offer the common signals and features you expect, such as modulation, sweep and burst. However, it also offers features that give you the capabilities and lexibility you need to get your job done quickly, no matter how complex. An intuitive front-panel user interface, for example, can be quickly and easily relearned when your attention has been focused elsewhere. Built-in LAN, USB and optional GPIB interfaces allow you to easily control your instruments or transfer waveforms to your instrument. And that’s just the beginn ing. The 33600A Series waveform generators offer a variety of capabilities you can’t ind anywhere else—capabilities designed to help you accelerate your testing and get your project wrapped up faster: Waveform summing and combining capability Easily add noise to your signal for margin and distortion testing using only a single channel. You can create dual-tone multifrequency signals without a dual-channel generator, which means you can preserve your budget for other test needs. On a two-channel model, you can sum and combine up to four signals. Variable-bandwidth noise You can adjust the bandwidth of the built-in noise generator to control the frequency content of your signal. Apply just the frequency stimulus you need so you concentrate the energy of your waveform in frequency bands-of-interest. Dual-tone signal created by summing waveforms using the modulation type “Sum.” The images at right show an approximate 10 dB increase in amplitude at 50 kHz when the bandwidth is reduced 10x. Note how the signal energy is increased in the frequencies-of-interest when the bandwidth is reduced, instead of being spread over a very wide bandwidth with lower amplitude at all frequencies.

08 | Keysight | M33600A Series Trueform Waveform Generators - Data Sheet Signal integrity: test your devices with conidence that your signal generator is outputting the signals you expect Lowest harmonic distortion With total harmonic distortion of just 0.03%, the 33600A Series offers 5x better idelity than other generators. Clean, spurious- free signals don’t introduce noise or artifacts. See your design’s characteristics, not the waveform generator’s, in your measurements. Faster edge times The 33600A Series’ 2.9-ns rise and fall times are more than twice as fast as you’ll ind in typical waveform generators. You can place edges with more conidence and more accurately set trigger points. Because of the faster transition, higher harmonic content is created, which helps you expand your understanding of your circuit. Keysight 33600A Series waveform generators offer the lowest total har monic distortion (THD) in its class. Typical DDS generator has a higher noise loor and greater harmonics. <1 ps <200 ps Trueform technology signiicantly improves jitter performance. Trueform technology Traditional DDS technology If your generator is introducing spurious signals or harmonics, you’ll have a hard time producing reliable designs. To be successful, you need to test with clean, precise, low-noise signals. Keysight 33600A Series waveform generators offer the highest signal idelity so you can generate the exact waveforms you need for your most challenging measurements. You can be conident you are seeing your design’s characteristics, and not that of your waveform generator, in your measurements. 33600A Series waveform generators offer the following advantages: Lowest jitter With 1 ps jitter, 200x better than DDS generators, 33600A Series waveform generators offer unparalleled edge stability. You can even use them as a system clock for timing and triggering your other instruments. With better jitter performance, you can place edges more accurately, helping you reduce timing errors in your circuit design.

09 | Keysight | M33600A Series Trueform Waveform Generators - Data Sheet Reproduce lower-voltage output signals Today’s ultra-low-power products such as pacemakers, hearing aids and remote sensors use very low voltages. The 33600A Series lets you create signals as low as 1 mVpp. That’s a 10x low er voltage range than typical waveform generators. High-bandwidth pulses Create pulses up to 100 MHz with the 33600A Series. Most DDS-based generators offer reduced bandwidth when generating pulses. With a broader operating range, you have the frequency you need for a wider range of applications. Full bandwidth modulation sources Eliminate the need for an external modulation source. The 33600A Series has a modulation frequency up to the frequency of the waveform being modulated. Existing DDS-based generators have a much lower internal modulation frequency. Now you can create your complex signals all within a single generator. Signal Integrity (continued)
