Mixed-signal Oscilloscope
Digital Design Tips and Tricks with a Mixed Signal Oscilloscope
by Faride Akretch, Technical Marketing Manager, Tektronix Use an MSO to efficiently implement digital designs while verifying and debugging signals. As electronic products become faster and more complex, they are harder to design, verify and debug. Extensive verification of these designs must be performed to ensure reliable product operation. When problems occur, it is critical […]

With the industry’s fastest 1,000,000 […]
Triggering on mixed signal oscilloscopes
In purchasing a Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO), users will have to carefully consider its triggering capabilities. MSOs with more acquisition channels offer more triggering capabilities that will enable users to zero-in on specific digital/analog I/O signal interaction. Although its triggering capabilities still cannot compare with that of high-performance logic analyzer, triggering using MSO goes far […]
Typical measurement applications of Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes
Aside from capturing digital and analog signals on mixed signal devices, the primary measurement application of mixed-signal oscilloscopes (MSO) involve verifying and debugging microcontrollers (MCU)/digital signal processors (DSP)-based mixed-signal with data buses and embedded address. Generally, today’s MSOs offer 16 channels of digital acquisition, leading to the mistaken assumption by engineers that MSOs are limited […]
Mixed Signal Oscilloscope Explained
An MSO (mixed signal oscilloscope) is a hybrid test device that seamlessly combines some of the measurement capabilities found in a logic analyzer with the measurement capabilities found in a DSO (digital storage oscilloscope), such as trigger holdoff, autoscale, probe/channel de-skew and infinitepersistence on digital and analog channels — in one compact instrument. An MSO […]
