High definition technology enhances oscilloscope

Bandwidths of 1GHz to 4GHz and sample rates of 40GS/s, enable efficient and accurate debug in high definition. Two units can be synchronised to operate as eight-channel oscilloscope without limitations.

A critical element of the HDO9000 is the HD1024 technology, which provides 10 bits of vertical resolution with 4GHz bandwidth. Waveforms are displayed clearly and crisply, unmasking fine signal details that cannot be seen on conventional 8-bit oscilloscopes.

HD1024 technology enables the oscilloscopes to automatically and dynamically determine the best ADC configuration under each specific measurement condition. Thus, the oscilloscope always provides optimal resolution.

By utilising optimised filtering the HDO9000 can provide additional resolution beyond 10 bits; extending up to 13.8 bits. As with all members of Teledyne LeCroy’s HDO family, the HDO9000 sports an exceptionally low-noise system architecture that delivers outstanding effective number of bits (ENOB).

The HDO9000 and MAUI with OneTouch allows users to perform all common operations with a single touch of the display. This reduces measurement setup time.

Meanwhile, the 15.4in high resolution touch screen’s bright display and quick responsiveness further enhances the efficiency and intuitiveness of MAUI with OneTouch.

In addition to the standard toolset, Teledyne LeCroy offers a broad variety of optional software packages to equip the HDO9000 for all validation and debug requirements ranging from automated standards compliance packages to flexible debugging toolkits.

A suite of protocol-specific measurement and eye diagram packages complements the industry’s most intuitive trigger and decode software.

The serial data packages augment HDO9000’s already deep and powerful toolbox of math, measurement, debug, and documentation tools, bringing unsurpassed analysis capabilities to the bench or lab. Application-specific packages enable streamlined debug for common design and validation scenarios.

Options include digital filtering, spectrum analysis, device and switching power supply analysis, and more.

Advanced customisation options allow users to define their own parameters and math functions for unique and limitless analysis capabilities.

The mixed signal (-MS) models have 16 digital lines which can be used for trigger, decode, and measurements for analysing timing irregularities or for general-purpose debug of digital designs. Additionally, the HDO9000 is compatible with the HDA125 High-speed Digital Analyser, with 12.5 GS/s digital sampling rate on 18 input channels, and the revolutionary QuickLink probing solution for high performance digital acquisitions.

These mixed signal options allow analogue channels to be reserved for observing physical layer defects.
