I’m considering tho buy the PCG 10. I still have the following questions:
Is the device protected for short circuits (output against ground).
How many mA can the generator deliver at 5V without seriously affecting the signal quality.
Sincerely,
Thomas
The PCG10 is short circuit protected.
It can deliver 10Vpp plus DC offset +5V or -5V to 600 ohms load. The peak value in this case is +10V or -10V.
If you do not need the DC offset then the generator can drive peak value 5V to 300 ohms (or even lower load) without remarkable distortion.
Please note: The output impedance of the generator is 50ohm causing some voltage loss with low ohm load.
Please note: This specification concerns the PCG10 only. The PCGU1000 has slightly different specs.
