Highland Technology has introduced the model J270, a tiny—only 2" x 3"—very fast, high voltage, nanosecond pulse generator.

The J270 allows users to manually set trigger delay, pulse width and pulse voltage. Timing can be set in three ranges: 25 ns, 250 ns and 2.5 μs. Pulse voltage can be set from 0.8 to 20 V, with a 44 V version available. Outputs are very clean over the full amplitude range, with rise and fall times typically 1 nanosecond and jitter below 10 picoseconds RMS. The product includes trigger loop-through and pulse monitor connectors.

The J270 can drive PIN diodes, optical modulators, bar lasers, SiC mosfet gates, long cables in timing/trigger systems and microchannel plate gates.
