# Agilent 8114A 100 V/2 A Programmable Pulse Generator (Pre-Owned) # Agilent 8114A 100 V/2 A Programmable Pulse Generator (Pre-Owned) ## Key Features At A Glance - Output amplitude from 1.00 V to 50.0 V (or 20.0 mA to 1.00 A), with approximately double the values for source or load resistance greater than 1 kΩ - Frequency range from 1 Hz to 15.00 MHz with 3-digit timing resolution, 100 ps best case - Fixed transition times: <7 ns (50 Ω into 50 Ω, amplitude >5 V); <12 ns (High-Z into 50 Ω, amplitude >10 V) - Variable pulse width from 10.0 ns to 150 ms with selectable width, duty cycle, or trailing edge delay - Optional variable baseline from −25.0 V to +25.0 V (Option 001) for offset pulse applications - Counted burst mode (2 to 65536 pulses) plus double-pulse generation in continuous, triggered, and gated modes - Selectable 50 Ω or High-Impedance (>1 kΩ) source impedance with adjustable load compensation - Full SCPI programmability via GPIB (IEEE 488.2, SCPI 1992.0) with adjustable voltage, current, and duty cycle limits to protect the device under test The Agilent 8114A is a 100 V / 2 A programmable pulse generator designed to deliver clean, reliable, and repeatable pulse waveforms for characterization and test applications. The instrument provides 100 Vpp output capability (2 A) into open circuit (or from a 1 kΩ source into 50 Ω), with a 15 MHz repetition rate, fixed 7 ns transitions, variable pulse width, and 3-digit resolution across all timing and level parameters. This pulse generator is suited for characterization and test work where clean, accurate pulse waveforms are required, and where the device under test must be protected from accidental damage during setup and operation. Per the datasheet, the 8114A supports automated test system integration through SCPI programming commands, accepts external triggering and gating, and provides a TTL inhibit input that allows a feedback signal from the DUT or test system to hold the pulse output at its baseline level under hardware control. ValueTronics International stores and tests pulse generators like the Agilent 8114A in our own 20,000 square foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive, Elgin, Illinois. Unlike drop-shippers and pass-through brokers, every instrument we list is physically present in our facility, where our technicians verify it against the manufacturer's published specifications before it leaves the dock. For a programmable pulse generator that customers depend on for repeatable timing accuracy and clean transitions, that hands-on verification is the difference between buying a model number and buying a confirmed working instrument. ## Brand Heritage The 8114A carries the Agilent brand from the period after Hewlett-Packard spun off its test and measurement business as Agilent Technologies in 1999. Agilent's electronic measurement business was subsequently transferred to Keysight Technologies in 2014, which is the current corporate successor for instruments in the 8114A's product family. Units in the field may be labeled HP, Agilent, or carry documentation referencing any of these successor entities. ## Product Core & Specifications Specification Value Timing Characteristics Frequency range 1 Hz to 15.00 MHz Timing resolution (period, width) 3 digits, 100 ps best case RMS jitter (period, width, delay) 0.03% ± 25 ps (± 0.05% ± 25 ps for period < 100 ns) Period range 66.7 ns to 999 ms Period accuracy ± 5% ± 100 ps Width range 10.0 ns to 150 ms (max: period − 10.0 ns) Width accuracy ± 5% ± 500 ps Fixed delay 42 ns typical (measured between Trigger Output and Output) Additional variable delay range 0.00 ns to 999 ms (max: period − 4 ns) Delay accuracy ± 5% ± 1 ns Delay resolution 3 digits, 10 ps best case Transition time (10/90) 50 Ω into 50 Ω: < 7 ns (amplitude > 5 V); High-Z into 50 Ω: < 12 ns (amplitude > 10 V) Burst Count 2 to 65536 (single or double pulses) Duty cycle 0.1% to 100% (subject to width and period specifications) Level/Pulse Performance Characteristics Amplitude 1.00 V to 50.0 V or 20.0 mA to 1.00 A (values approximately double for source or load resistance > 1 kΩ) Amplitude accuracy ± 1% of amplitude ± 100 mV Amplitude resolution 3 digits, best case 10 mV Baseline (Standard Instrument) < 100 mV + 0.5% of amplitude Baseline (Option 001) −25.0 V to 25.0 V (50 Ω source must be selected for variable baseline) Baseline accuracy ± 1% ± 100 mV ± 0.5% of amplitude Pulse Window ± 50 V Base line noise 10 mV RMS typical Output connectors BNC Source Impedance Selectable 50 Ω or High Impedance (> 1 kΩ) Short circuit current 2 A Overshoot/preshoot/ringing < ± 5% of amplitude ± 100 mV Settling time < 100 ns typical Output Protection Maximum external voltage 100 Vpp from 50 Ω source (±10 Vdc from 0 Ω source) External Input Input impedance 10 kΩ Threshold −10 V to +10 V with 100 mV resolution Max. input voltage ± 50 V Sensitivity ± 300 mVpp typical Input transitions < 100 ns Frequency dc to 15 MHz Minimum pulsewidth 10 ns typical Trigger Output Level Fixed TTL (2.5 V into 50 Ω) Output impedance 50 Ω typical Trigger format One pulse per period with 50% duty cycle typical Max. external voltage −2 V/+7 V Transition times 5 ns typical Delay from external input to trigger output 24 ns typical Inhibit Input Input impedance 100 kΩ Threshold 1.5 V (TTL) typical Max. input voltage ± 50 V Input transitions < 100 ns Frequency dc to 5 MHz Minimum pulsewidth 100 ns typical Inhibit response time 200 ns typical Remote Control Standard IEEE 488.2, 1987 and SCPI 1992.0 Function Code SH1, AH1, T6, L4, SR1, RL1, PP0, DC1, DT1, C0 Programming time (one parameter or mode) 5 to 20 ms typical Programming time (recall setting) 250 ms typical General Operating temperature 0°C to +55°C Storage temperature −40°C to +70°C Humidity 95% r.h. up to 40°C ambient temperature EMC EN 55011, Group 1, Class A Noise emission 5.5 bel typical Safety IEC1010 safety class 1 Battery Lithium CR2477-N Power requirements 100-240 Vac, ± 10%, 50-60 Hz; 100-120 Vac, ± 10%, 400 Hz Power consumption 500 VA max Max. dimensions (H × W × D) 133 mm × 426 mm × 422 mm Weight 14 kg net, 17 kg shipping Recalibration period One year recommended Warranty 1 year **Important:** Maximum external voltage at the output: 100 Vpp from a 50 Ω source (±10 Vdc from a 0 Ω source). Short-circuit current: 2 A. For Option 001 variable baseline (−25.0 V to +25.0 V), 50 Ω source must be selected.**Important:** Maximum external voltage at the output is 100 Vpp from a 50 Ohm source (+/-10 Vdc from a 0 Ohm source). Exceeding these limits may damage the instrument.**Important:** Variable baseline (Option 001) requires that the 50 Ohm source impedance setting be selected; variable baseline is not available with the high-impedance source setting.**Important:** Double pulse mode and additional variable delay are mutually exclusive. In double pulse mode, the actual duty cycle is twice the displayed value. ## About this used unit - Warranty included - Functional verification included - Standard Calibration Upgrade Options: No Calibration Required, NIST Traceable, Z540.1 or ISO 17025 with Data, Z540.3 Guardbanding with Data. - Note that unnecessary accessories may not be included (contact Test Architect to confirm). **Please review the Manufacturer's Data Sheet to verify published specifications.
