The HDO6000B Series brings together high sample rate 12-bit ADCs, high signal-to-noise amplifiers and low-noise system architecture. Oscilloscopes with HD4096 technology always provide 12 bits of vertical resolution. “No digitizer is perfect,” says Robert Mart, Teledyne LeCroy’s Director of Product Marketing, “but compared to an 8-bit system, a 12-bit system is 16 times closer to […]

The difference between TDR instruments and scope-based TDR measurements
Often a transmission line is buried, concealed behind finish surfaces, or otherwise not readily accessible. So it is difficult to locate faults by means of visual inspection. It is, however, feasible to locate such discontinuities via a test instrument known as the time domain reflectometer (TDR). The TDR is sometimes compared to a radar installation, […]
Analyzer and exerciser handles MIPI M-PHY GEAR 5 UFS 4.0 protocol
The Eclipse M52 is an M-PHY Gear 5 UFS 4.0 ready protocol analyzer and exerciser that supports JEDEC UFS 3.1, MIPI UniPro v1.8 and M-PHY v4.1 HS-G4 and now and can be upgraded to support JEDEC UFS 4.0, MIPI UniPro v2.0 and M-PHY v5.0 HS-G5 when available. Consumers of smartphones, digital cameras, and other consumer […]
Programmable dc electronic loads offer four-mode operation, transient testing
The Teledyne LeCroy T3EL15030xP Programmable DC Electronic Loads are versatile test devices which feature four operating modes to provide wide ranging test capabilities. In Constant Current mode, the electronic loads will sink a constant current, regardless of the voltage at the device terminals. Its Constant Voltage mode causes a constant voltage to appear at its […]
Multifunctional 16-bit AWG features innovative architecture, digital pattern generation
The Teledyne LeCroy T3AWG3252 Multifunctional 16-bit Arbitrary/Function Generators are designed with an innovative architecture that features synchronized analog signal and digital pattern generation. This multifunction 250-MHz arbitrary/sweep/function generator combines multiple functions in a single instrument, including a two-channel function and arbitrary waveform generator with an eight-channel digital pattern generator. These three instrument functions are based […]
Basics of digital oscilloscope architecture
A digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) is characterized by the presence of a microprocessor, which is physically and functionally at the heart of the processing section. Other stages in the processor are the acquisition memory, at its input and the display memory at its output. The DSO’s signal paths (one for each channel) begin at the […]
Debug tookit for DDR5 and LPDDR5 handles 6,400 Mb/sec data rates
A DDR5 Debug Toolkit runs on SDA 8 Zi-B and LabMaster 10Zi-A oscilloscopes. The DDR Debug Toolkit now supports DDR5/LPDDR5 for test, analysis and debug of the entire DDR design cycle. Features include automatic Read/Write burst separation, bursted data jitter analysis, eye diagram mask tests, DDR-specific measurement parameters, and seamless integration with the HDA-125 High-Speed […]
Common-mode differential probes excel at 48-V GaN power conversion work
New DL-HCM probes from Teledyne LeCroy target 48-V GaN Power Conversion. They are available in 500 MHz and 1 GHz bandwidth and feature 60 V of common-mode and 80 V differential input range. The 60 V of common mode is well suited for handling any float of the battery and bulk/absorption voltage during charging, while […]
Advanced 500-MHz scopes provide 1mV/div min input range, digital trigger system
The Teledyne Test Tools T3DSO2000A Oscilloscopes are available in two-channel and four-channel versions with analog bandwidths from 100bMHz to 500 MHz. Each model offers a maximum sample rate of 2 GSa/sec and a maximum memory depth of 200 Mpts in half-channel mode. The T3DSO2000A series employs a new generation of high-speed display technology that provides […]
Are you sure you know what bandwidth means?
Bandwidth is a principal specification when choosing an oscilloscope or related instrument. What it means in this context is a displayed signal’s maximum frequency above which the scope attenuates the amplitude of the signal it sees. Problem is, this isn’t the only definition of bandwidth. The concept has slightly different meanings (and consequences) depending on […]
