GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The GG200 GATE GENERATOR (Fig. 1) provides gating (on-off control) signals for certain M100 System Modules, and provides versatile timing signals for system use. Six outputs are provided: system logic and gate signals and their complements, and delayed positive and negative trigger signals at the end of each gating cycle. The width of the gate and logic signals is adjustable from 100 nSec to 11 Sec in eight overlapping ranges, and the width is virtually unaffected by duty-factor variations. The GG200 timing cycle may be started and stopped by either logic signals or high-level signals. Output gate and logic signals may be vetoed (notched) by logic signals. All outputs will drive 50-ohm loads and are fully protected from overload. A front-panel lamp indicates both normal operation and overload.
 
SPECIFICATIONS
HI START: Direct-coupled. Accepts signals in the range +/- 5 to +/- 50V. Input impedance 5.6K. Minimum width, 100 nSec at +/- 5V; maximum width at +/- 5V must be less than output width for proper operation. Will sustain +/- 35Vdc or +/-200V transients without damage.
LO START: Accepts logic signals. *Input impedance 50 ohms. Minimum width 3.0 nSec at -600 mv; no maximum width limitation. Will sustain +/- 3.5 V dc without damage.
 
* Compatible with NIM standard fast logic signal definition. T01 denotes ZERO to ONE transition; T10 denotes ONE to ZERO transition. T01 and T10 measured between -100 mV and -600 mV.
HI STOP: Direct-coupled. Accepts signals in the range +/-5 to +/-50V. Input impedance 5.6K. Minimum width, 100 nSec at +/- 5V. HI STOP input acts to inhibit START; HI STOP signal should end before next START. Will sustain +/- 35V dc or +/- 200V transients without damage.
LO STOP: Direct-coupled. Accepts logic signals. * Input impedance 50 ohms. Minimum width, 10 nSec at -600mV. LO STOP input can inhibit START; LO STOP signal should end before next START. Will sustain +/- 3. 5V dc without damage.
VETO IN: Direct-coupled. Accepts logic signals. * Input impedance 50 ohms. Will sustain +/- 5. 0 V dc or +/- 100V fast transients without damage. VETO IN vetoes LOGIC and GATE OUTPUTS without affecting START, STOP or timing cycle.
LOGIC OUT (L): Logic signals * on 50-ohm termination. Typical T01 2.5 nSec, T10 2.5 nSec.
LOGIC OUT (/L) Complementary logic signals * on 50-ohm termination. Typical T10 2. 5 nSec, T01, 2. 5 nSec.
G OUT (50-ohm load): Quiescent level 0 to +0.5V; pulsed level 13. 5 +/- 1.0V. Typical 1.0 to 10V Tr 50 nSec; typical 10 to 1.0V Tf 50 nSec.
G OUT (Hi-Z load): Quiescent level 0 to +0. 5V; pulsed level 14. 0 +/- 1.0V. Typical 1.0 to 10V Tr 50 nSec; typical 10 to 1.0V Tf 50 nSec.

* Compatible with NIM standard fast logic signal definition. T01 denotes ZERO to ONE transition; T10 denotes ONE to ZERO transition. T01 and T10 measured between -100 mV and -600 mV.
 
G OUT (50-ohm load): Quiescent level 13.0 +/- 1.0 volts; pulsed level 0 to +0. 5 volt. Typical 10 to 1.0 volt Tr 60 nSec; typical 1.0 to 10 volt Tf 80 nSec.
G OUT (HI-Z load): Quiescent level 14.0 +/- 1.0 volts; pulsed level 0 to +0.5 volt. Typical 10 to 1.0 volt Tr 60 nSec; typical 1.0 to 10 volt Tf 80 nSec.
G OUT AND G' OUT PROTECTION: Internal current limit to approximately 300 ma; reverse current limiter, approximately 150 ma, protects against back-feeding from external positive voltage sources.
DELAYED OUT (+) Positive 18-ma current pulse (900 mv into 50 ohms). Typical 10% - 90% Tr 4 nSec, Tf 13 nSec. Pulse begins at GATE OUT trailing edge; width indicates GG200 internal reset time. Typical widths as follows:
RANGE WIDTH
0.1, 1.0 70 nSec
10, 102 1 uSec
103, 104 95 uSec
105, 106 9.5 mSec
DELAYED OUT (-) Negative 14-ma current pulse (-700 mv into 50 ohms). Same width and time relationships as DELAYED OUT (+) pulse. Typical Tr 4 nSec, Tf 4 nSec.
WIDTH RANGE: 100 nSec to 11 sec in eight decades with 1.0 to 11 ten-turn multiplier. Additional position for latching operation.
WIDTH CAL:* +/- 10% of full scale, 100 nSec to 11 sec. +/- 5% of full scale, 1 uSec to 1. 1 sec.
WIDTH STABILITY:* +/-0.05%/°C on 0.1 and 1 uSec ranges.
WIDTH JITTER:* Less than +/-0.5% (measured at 500 nSec) with random input of duty factor approaching 100%.
