Teledyne LeCroy's WavePro HD Oscilloscopes Capture Every Detail
Teledyne LeCroy, Inc., a leading manufacturer of advanced oscilloscopes
and a business unit of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY),
announced today the release of the WavePro HD high-definition
oscilloscopes, which leverage HD4096 12-bit technology for low noise and
pristine signal fidelity at far higher bandwidths than previously
available. With up to 8 GHz of bandwidth and a maximum of 5 Gpoints of
fast, responsive, and easily navigable acquisition memory, WavePro HD
12-bit oscilloscopes acquire extremely fine waveform details. A deep,
powerful toolset quickly exposes underlying system behaviors.
WavePro HD 12-bit oscilloscopes uniquely support engineers in developing
smaller, faster, and lower-power mobile and handheld devices;
high-speed, deeply-embedded computing systems; and datacenter
technologies. All of these are characterized by analog sensor inputs,
sensitive power-distribution networks (PDNs) with very low-voltage power
rails, and high-speed CPUs and serial-data interfaces. This requires an
oscilloscope with a unique combination of high resolution, low noise,
high bandwidth, and very long capture times at high sample rates to
facilitate comprehensive system debugging.
All WavePro HD oscilloscopes feature a large 15.6", 1900 x 1080-pixel
capacitive touch screen and Teledyne LeCroy's powerful MAUI with
OneTouch user interface for intuitive, efficient operation. The
instruments come in four models with bandwidths from 2.5 GHz to 8 GHz,
all featuring sample rates up to 20 GS/s.
HD4096 Technology Meets 8-GHz Bandwidth (News - Alert) At the heart of
WavePro HD is a new 8-GHz chipset comprising a low-noise front-end
amplifier and a 12-bit ADC. That chipset, tightly integrated with a new
low-noise, high-bandwidth system architecture, unlocks the full
potential of HD4096 High Definition Technology in an industry-first
8-GHz, 12-bit oscilloscope. Competitive instruments either simply place
a 10- or 12-bit ADC (News - Alert) into a conventional 8-bit signal path, or use
software techniques to sacrifice bandwidth for higher resolution.
WavePro HD's HD4096 technology provides the highest resolution and
lowest noise at full bandwidth without compromise.
Next-Generation Long-Memory Architecture With WavePro HD's
next-generation signal-acquisition and memory-management architecture,
5-Gpoint acquisitions are fast and responsive. Meanwhile, WavePro HD's
MAUI advanced user interface makes it easy to find, navigate to, and
thoroughly analyze waveform features of interest. The instruments can
acquire 250 ms at the full 20-GS/s sample rate, and always with 12-bit
resolution.
Dig into Deeply Embedded Computing Systems In WavePro HD,
high-resoluton analog inputs may be combined with optional mixed-signal
oscilloscope (MSO) inputs for capture of a wide range of analog-sensor,
digital logic, power-rail, serial-data, and other signals. A full
complement of standard analysis tools is augmented by serial-data
Trigger, Decode, Measure/Graph, and Eye-Diagram (TDME) options. Thus,
WavePro HD performs the industry's best long-capture causal analysis
between any high- and low-speed signals, including power-distribution
network (PDN) signals, analog sensor inputs, digital activities, and
serial data messages. When combined with Teledyne LeCroy's powerful,
deep toolbox and toolsets for high-speed serial-data jitter analysis and
protocol compliance, users have at their fingertips a dream debug and
analysis solution for deeply embedded computing systems.
Investigate Power Integrity WavePro HD's high bandwidth and
high vertical resolution are ideally suited for measurement and analysis
of on-die and system PDN behavior. High bandwidth means accurate
characterization of high-speed, on-die effects such as ground bounce,
while WavePro HD's high dynamic range and 0.5% gain accuracy ensure
complete confidence in sensitive measurements such as rail-collapse
characterization. The exceptionally low noise floor, combined with
spectrum analyzer software tools, helps extract and identify the most
subtle PDN aggressors. The RP4030 4-GHz power-rail probe completes the
WavePro HD's unmatched power-integrity capabilities by combining
flexible connectivity options with a pristine signal path.
Characterize Pulses; Pin Down Emissions In the EMC (News - Alert) lab,
WavePro HD deftly melds 2.5 or 4 GHz of bandwidth with very high sample
rates and resolution for extremely accurate pulse characterization.
Meanwhile, on the test bench, system designers must discern EMI sources
from within a dense electromagnetic landscape. WavePro HD's
exceptionally low noise and intuitive spectral-analysis capability
combine to yield a powerful interference-hunting tool.
Analyze Serial-Data Jitter and Noise For serial-data
analysis, 12-bit resolution, a low noise floor, and exceptionally low
timebase jitter (60 fs) give the WavePro HD huge advantages in jitter
and noise measurements. The optional SDAIII CompleteLinQ package
comprises the industry's most complete set of serial-data jitter and
vertical noise analysis tools, while optional QualiPHY serial-data
compliance packages make easy work of physical layer validation.
ProBus2 Interface Supports 8 GHz WavePro HD has a new 8 GHz,
BNC-compatible ProBus2 probe interface. New 8- and 6-GHz ProBus2 probes
connect directly to the WavePro HD, as well as to the 4 GHz ProBus
interface on other Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes. Additionally,
ProBus-compatible probes also work with the new ProBus2 interface
without adapters, ensuring compatibility with Teledyne LeCroy's
extensive range of existing probes.
Pricing and Availability The WavePro HD is available now
with pricing of $31,000 for the 2.5-GHz 254HD, $39,500 for the 4-GHz
404HD, $57,000 for the 6-GHz 604HD, and $71,000 for the 8-GHz 804HD. All
are available in mixed-signal versions.
