Overview
The Model PB-500 Analog Circuit Trainer is
a compact, portable analog circuit design
trainer with built-in power supplies and
function generator. It can be used for analog
circuit design and classroom training. The
PB-500’s unique combination of built-in
functions and uncommitted devices makes
it one of the most convenient breadboarding
systems available. The trainer contains
all of the functions required for studying
and experimenting with active fi lters,
operational amplifi ers and other analog
circuitry and is powered by a UL approved
wall-mount power adapter. Utilizing the
PB-500, students will learn valuable hands-
on breadboarding techniques and build a
solid foundation in circuit experimentation,
construction and analysis.
Experienced designers will also fi nd the
PB-500 an invaluable, capable and reliable
instrument, suitable for the most advanced
and demanding analog design applications.
Global Specialties trainers provide the
most complete platform required to enable
engineers and technicians to train for
careers in the rapidly growing fi eld of
electronics technology.
