Product Overview

TEKTRONIX DG2030

The Tektronix DG2030 Data Pattern Generator provides digital designers with a high performance tool needed to evaluate advanced digital semiconductors and logic circuits. The Tektronix DG2030 is offers a balanced approach to providing the appropriate class of instrument for a wide variety of digital design applications.

The Tektronix DG2030 is the ideal solution for applications where you must characterize device or circuit timing and amplitude margins. It is perfect for simulating setup and hold violations or conditions of metastability. The Tektronix DG2030 graphical user interface allows you to quickly create complex data patterns with a few keystrokes on the front panel. Use the advanced sequence editing capability of this data generator to insert infrequent faults or glitches in your data patterns to verify device or circuit recovery.
