The Teledyne Test Tools T3AFG200, T3AFG350, and T3AFG500 are dual-channel function/arbitrary waveform generators offering up to 500 MHz of bandwidth, a 2.4 GSa/s maximum sampling rate, and 16-bit vertical resolution. Proprietary Arbitrary and Pulse generation techniques (TrueArb and EasyPulse) address the weaknesses inherent in traditional DDS generators when producing arbitrary, square, and pulse waveforms, allowing the series to deliver high-fidelity, low-jitter signals across a wide range of complex applications.

A function/arbitrary waveform generator produces known, controllable stimulus signals — from standard sine, square, ramp, pulse, noise, and DC waveforms to fully user-defined arbitrary waveforms — so an engineer can drive a circuit under test and observe how it responds. The T3AFG series is built around debugging confidence: its low-jitter design generates waveforms with exceptional edge stability, and wide-bandwidth Gaussian noise can be added to other waveforms to simulate real-world conditions in which the signal carries a large degree of noise.

Brand Heritage

Teledyne Test Tools is a brand and trademark of Teledyne LeCroy Inc., a test-and-measurement company founded in 1964. LeCroy Corporation became part of Teledyne Technologies in 2012, after which the business operated under the Teledyne LeCroy name.

Compare Other Models in This Series

The T3AFG series is a range of dual-channel function/arbitrary waveform generators offered in three bandwidth models — the T3AFG200 (200 MHz), T3AFG350 (350 MHz), and T3AFG500 (500 MHz). All three models share the same core architecture: two independent output channels, 20 Mpts of arbitrary memory per channel, a 2.4 GSa/s sample rate with 2x interpolation, and 16-bit vertical resolution.

Across the family, the proprietary TrueArb and EasyPulse techniques, the wide modulation suite, the built-in frequency counter, and the 4.3-inch touchscreen interface are common to every model. The primary distinction between models is maximum bandwidth and the frequency limits of the individual waveform types, detailed in the comparison table below.

Each model below links to its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing for the new configuration you select. Choose the bandwidth tier that matches your application, then review the specifications and availability on that model's page.

The models differ chiefly in maximum bandwidth: 200 MHz on the T3AFG200, 350 MHz on the T3AFG350, and 500 MHz on the T3AFG500. This maps directly to the sine-wave frequency range, which extends to 200 MHz, 350 MHz, and 500 MHz respectively. Square-wave output reaches 80 MHz on the T3AFG200 and 120 MHz on both the T3AFG350 and T3AFG500, while pulse output reaches 80 MHz on the T3AFG200 and 150 MHz on the T3AFG350 and T3AFG500.

Pulse and PRBS edge performance also varies: the T3AFG200 provides a minimum rise/fall time of 2 ns, while the T3AFG350 and T3AFG500 reach 1 ns. PRBS bit rate tops out at 160 Mbps on the T3AFG200 and 300 Mbps on the T3AFG350 and T3AFG500. Channel count (two), memory (20 Mpts/ch), sample rate (2.4 GSa/s), and 16-bit resolution are identical across all three. See the comparison table that follows for the per-model figures.
