Tektronix lancerer 33 GHz oscilloskop
Tektronix introducer DPO/DSA70000D serien af 33 GHz oscilloskoper med 100 GS/s sampling rate på to kanaler (in english).
Tektronix has announced four new DPO/DSA70000D Series oscilloscope models with real time sampling rates up to 100 GS/s on two channels and 33 GHz analog bandwidth on four channels. These ground-breaking new products include models for 25 and 33 GHz bandwidths that provide the industry’s highest level of measurement accuracy for today’s fastest electrical signals across multiple channels.
Incorporating lightning-fast technology using IBM’s 8HP silicon germanium (SiGe) chipset, Tektronix engineers have integrated high-speed bipolar transistors directly on the same die as standard CMOS, enabling the new oscilloscopes to deliver the fastest rise time on multiple channels of any real-time oscilloscope on the market. Such high-sensitivity, low noise measurement capabilities are required for accurate characterisation of high speed optical, RF and serial data measurements beyond 20 Gb/s data rates.
- By combining the industry’s best signal integrity and timing precision in a real time oscilloscope, we are giving our customers the breakthrough test instrumentation they need to complete their most cutting-edge designs accurately and with greater confidence, says Roy Siegel, general manager, Oscilloscopes, Tektronix.
- Further, we are continuing on the path of innovation with leading edge ASIC implementation design using 8HP SiGe technology to deliver outstanding levels of accuracy.
Multiple industry firsts
The new oscilloscope achieves a number of industry firsts designed to benefit customers working on high performance systems and silicon. Key advancements include the following:
• Real time sample rate performance of 100GS/s on two channels and 50 GS/s on 4 channels both at 33GHz bandwidth. The performance is made possible using Tektronix’ new SiGe 33 GHz preamp and track & hold, giving design and validation engineers the clearest system visibility for debug and verification applications.
• 33 GHz bandwidth on 4 channels with 10 terasamples equivalent time sampling to bring unmatched signal visibility to real-time oscilloscopes for both design and manufacturing applications.
• Industry-best rise time performance for accurate characterization of sub 20 picosecond rise time signals. This helps customers develop leading-edge silicon with the most accurate oscilloscope in the industry.
• Input sensitivity at 62.5mV full scale (6.25mV/div) for better visibility of low amplitude signaling common in LVDS-based standards.
• Fastest time to answer with quicker access to data, measurement analysis including 8b/10b serial decode, fast waveform data transfer within the instrument and new custom region-based qualification using Visual Trigger capability.
• The popular DPOJET Jitter & Timing Analysis toolset is being updated to support jitter separation of Bounded Uncorrelated Jitter (BUJ). BUJ is an important category of jitter resulting from crosstalk on signals greater than 10 Gb/sec. Separation of BUJ from other random jitter sources can be accomplished in DPOJET for more complete analysis.
• With 76 percent of Tektronix customers using third-party software, the new oscilloscopes introduce DataStore, an advanced data processing pathway. With third-party tools like MATLAB or Microsoft .NET languages, users can insert waveform data processing algorithms directly into the scope’s application and display system. Users will experience dramatic productivity improvements over a broad range of applications like de-embedding or invoking custom filter functions.
• For signal access, Tektronix provides up to 33 GHz bandpass support through its seamless TekConnectTM channel interface, enabling the use of Tektronix 2.92mm adaptors and high-performance probes that feature small probe heads to provide a flexible and reliable connection to the Device Under Test (DUT).
