The Tektronix DTGM30 is a dual-channel output module for the DTG5000 Series Data Timing Generator mainframe. It generates low-jitter, high-accuracy clock signals and parallel or serial data across two independent channels, supporting data rates to 3.35 Gb/s. The module functions as a data generator, pulse generator, and DC source, with configurable output amplitudes and fast edge rates for precision timing and signal integrity applications.

– Compatibility & Integration
The DTGM30 operates exclusively with Tektronix DTG5000 Series mainframes. It integrates into the modular slot structure, allowing flexible multi-module configurations. The DTG5000 platform provides auxiliary input/output channels for direct connection to external test equipment. ESD protection required—operate in static-controlled environment and store with connector caps and termination installed.
