The introduction by Teledyne LeCroy of the HDA125 high speed digital analyser is said to expand the capabilities of its oscilloscopes. By adding the HDA125 digital acquisition system, which captures 18 channels of data at 12.5Gsample/s, users can create what the company claims is ‘the most flexible, highest performance mixed signal solution available’.
The HDA125 samples 18 input signals at 80ps intervals for accurate characterisation of data. The system is also said to overcome challenging signal amplitude issues with a 3GHz digital leadset. This is said to ensure precise digital signal interpretation, with the ability to adjust hysteresis. LeCroy also claims three times better threshold accuracy than competing mixed signal instruments.
Also announced by the company is the QuickLink Probing System, designed to be compatible with the HDA125 and with Teledyne LeCroy’s WaveLink series of differential analogue probes.
This cross connection capability, the company notes, allows a device under test to be equipped with QuickLink Solder-In tips at all desired test points, enabling swapping of connections between digital and analogue acquisition systems as needed.
