The Tektronix DTGM20 is a plug-in output module for the DTG5000 Series arbitrary waveform generators, delivering high-speed digital signal generation up to 3.35 Gb/s. This four-channel output module provides configurable amplitude levels across 50Ω and 1MΩ impedances, with rise/fall times under 340 ps and delay control resolution of 0.2 ps. The DTGM20 supports inhibit and external jitter inputs, making it suitable for digital timing, protocol validation, and complex signal synthesis in bench and automated test environments.
