The Stanford Research Systems PTC330J is a precision time code generator engineered for applications requiring accurate and stable time references. It delivers versatile synchronization capabilities and precise control over time-related parameters in laboratory, industrial, and research environments where critical timing is essential.
Technical Specifications
The PTC330J emphasizes high temporal accuracy and low phase noise for deterministic timing control. The instrument generates various configurable clock frequencies and time codes to meet specific measurement requirements. External synchronization inputs accommodate standard references such as 10 MHz, 100 MHz, and 1PPS signals. Phase-locked loop (PLL) technology ensures stable phase relationships and low jitter performance.
Power operation spans 90 VAC to 264 VAC at line frequencies between 47 Hz and 63 Hz, with typical consumption under 80 VA.
– Key Features
• Multiple synchronization input options for external reference integration
• Configurable output signal generation across variable clock frequencies
• PLL-based architecture for deterministic phase control
• Low phase noise and jitter characteristics for sensitive applications
• Standard benchtop form factor compatible with 19-inch rack mounting
– Typical Applications
The PTC330J serves precision timing distribution across networked test systems, frequency metrology, synchronized data acquisition, and laboratory environments demanding picosecond-level timing accuracy.
– Compatibility & Integration
Remote instrument control and data acquisition leverage industry-standard digital interfaces: GPIB (IEEE-488.2), Ethernet, and RS-232. Time code and clock signal outputs enable cascading configurations and system-wide timing distribution to multiple instruments.
