TekMark Australia, local distributor for Tektronix, Inc., has announced the availability of Tektronix's high-performance DPO70000B Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope (DPO) and DSA70000B Digital Serial Analyzer (DSA) Series.
Already offering the highest available bandwidth for real-time oscilloscopes, and with an industry-best jitter noise floor, the new B models now also provide the best vertical noise performance, flattest frequency response, and greatest effective number of bits (ENOB).
Adding to the leading Pinpoint Trigger system, the new models also provide the fastest available hardware-based pattern triggering for advanced serial data bus speeds at rates up to 5 Gb/s.
In addition, new upgrade options via the Tektronix SpeedBooster upgrade program, enable ‘B' series customers to upgrade their bandwidth from 4 GHz to 6, 8, 12.5, 16 and ultimately to 20 GHz.
This enables engineers to purchase what they need today, and easily increase the bandwidth of their instrument as test requirements change in the future - protecting their initial investment.
New generations of consumer, computing and communications technology use faster and wider information buses and interconnects.
High performance oscilloscopes are required to capture the frequency harmonics of high-speed signals to make accurate and repeatable measurements.
The DPO/DSA70000B Series oscilloscopes provide support on all channels simultaneously for high bandwidth, deep memory, fast sample rate, and fast waveform capture rate.
The models can be used to debug signals running up to 12Gb/s on each of four lanes, making them ideal for design engineers developing and testing multi-lane, high-speed serial data applications including PCI-Express 3, SATA 6Gb/s, SuperSpeed USB, HDMI, DisplayPort and Ethernet.
"The enhanced Tektronix DSA70000B series oscilloscope is ideal for bench testing emerging multi-lane 8Gb/s and 10Gb/s serial data signals," Mark Marlett SERDES Architect, Xilinx Corporation, said.
"With its low noise floor, multi-lane capacity, and performance at 20GHz, I'm able to quickly and confidently analyse my multi-lane SERDES for these next generation serial signals."
