The Teledyne LeCroy T3AWG3254 is a dual-channel, high-definition arbitrary waveform generator delivering 250 MHz bandwidth with 16-bit vertical resolution and 1.2 GS/s sampling rate. This instrument integrates Arbitrary Function Generator (AFG), Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG), and Digital Pattern Generator (DPG) capabilities into a single platform, enabling precise generation of complex analog and digital signals for advanced test applications.
Technical Specifications
• Bandwidth: 250 MHz (sine wave in AFG mode)
• Analog Channels: 4
• Vertical Resolution: 16 bits
• Sampling Rate: 1.2 GS/s (non-interpolated in AWG mode)
• Waveform Memory: 128 Mpts/channel standard; optional 1 Gpts/channel

– Key Features
• Dual Operating Modes: AFG mode uses Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) technology with fixed sampling clock for parameter changes without glitches; AWG mode employs Variable Clock True-Arbitrary Technology for maximum waveform flexibility
• 16-Bit Signal Fidelity: High vertical resolution captures fine waveform detail, critical for accurate signal emulation and validation
• Deep Memory Architecture: 128 Mpts/channel standard capacity supports extended pseudo-random sequences and complex waveform reproduction
• Wide Output Voltage Range: ±24 V window into 50 Ω loads accommodates large-amplitude signal generation across diverse test scenarios
• Waveform Sequencing: Supported for dynamic test pattern generation
• Mixed-Signal Generation: Integrated analog and digital channel architecture enables coordinated multi-domain testing within a single instrument
– Interfaces
• Analog outputs via BNC connectors (front panel)
• Digital outputs: LVDS, LVTTL, SMA (with appropriate adapters)
