MSOs with up to 20 GHz bandwidth
14 October 2009
Test & Measurement
Tektronix has announced the MSO70000 series of mixed signal oscilloscopes (MSOs).
The instruments have up to 20 channels of measurement capture (four analog and 16 digital) with analog bandwidth ranging from 4 to 20 GHz and 80 ps digital channel timing resolution.
The MSO70000 series combines the signal visibility and timing features of a logic analyser with the analog precision, probing and usability of a realtime oscilloscope. This makes it an excellent debug and verification tool for high-speed design applications such as DDR memory, high-performance ASICs, FPGAs, system-on-chip devices and digital RF. In addition, the offering includes a variety of probing accessories for making both analog and digital connections to the device under test (DUT) with minimal disruption.
The instruments provide record lengths up to 250 million points and sample rates of 50 GSps analog and 12,5 GSps digital. With its iCapture feature, the MSO70000 provides analog views on any connected digital channel, enabling debugging insight across all 20 channels. The new series provides extensive triggering capabilities including serial pattern, mixed analog and digital, logic pattern and bus state triggers that designers can combine to isolate system faults that only occur during particular system states. The units provide tight timing synchronisation between the analog and digital subsystems, with timing correlation as close as 80 ps.
With over 30 different analysis suites, customers can select from the newly available I²C and SPI bus analysis, DPOJET for jitter and eye diagram analysis, DDRA for DDR memory bus verification, SDLA for EQ/channel emulation and analysis, and SignalVu for frequency domain display and analysis.
The MSO70000 delivers a comprehensive set of solder-in probe accessories which make connecting to vias and fine-pitch components on tightly packed boards easier, in order to acquire digital control signals such as the DDR command bus. The Tektronix toolset for DDR probing now also includes new BGA interposers for all variants of DDR3 and DDR2 memory components, providing access to all signals with excellent fidelity.
