Interface Technology DG600 Digital Word Generator

The Interface Technology DG600 is a single-slot C-size VXI module that generates and outputs custom digital patterns for testing and development environments. It simulates complex digital inputs and controls digital devices through message-based pattern generation, supporting channel counts from 16 to 224 depending on configuration and expansion.

## Technical Specifications

**Channel Configuration**
• 16 to 112 channels at 50 MHz with 16K memory depth
• 32 to 224 channels at 25 MHz with 8K memory depth
• 16 data channels available at 25 MHz, with 16 of these operating at up to 50 MHz

**Timing and Clocking**
• Independent word timing from 20 ns to 85 seconds
• Internal clock rates from 1 Hz to 50 MHz with 1 Hz resolution
• Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) source lockable to the 10 MHz VXI signal
• Ungated clock provides free-running output from the master clock source
• Symmetrical clock output with 50% duty cycle matching the output word time period

**Data and Control**
• Up to 255 data tables with three-level nested table sequencing
• Increment memory fills command for rapid test condition setup
• Clock-by-clock tristate control per channel for bidirectional bus testing

## Key Features

• Scalable to 112 channels at 50 MHz or 224 channels at 25 MHz via up to three DG605 expansion modules
• 32-channel increments in 50 MHz mode; 64-channel increments in 25 MHz mode
• IEEE 488.2 and RS-232C interfaces with dedicated digital word generator command language
• VXI Bus compatible architecture

## Typical Applications

Digital pattern generation for device simulation, bus testing, and complex sequence control in development and validation environments.
