Keysight Technologies InfiniiVision HD3 Series oscilloscope

Keysight Technologies, Inc. has launched the InfiniiVision HD3 Series, a 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) oscilloscope, designed to provide four times the signal resolution and half the noise floor of other general-purpose oscilloscopes. Newly designed with a custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and deep memory architecture, the HD3 Series enables engineers to detect and fix signal issues in a variety of applications.

The oscilloscope gives digital designers and engineers a high vertical resolution through a 14-bit ADC and a 50 µVRMS low noise floor that can detect small signal anomalies. Covering bandwidths between 200 MHz and 1 GHz, the HD3 Series also accelerates digital debugging and time to market.

The oscilloscope is designed to deliver 14-bit ADC resolution and low noise floor in combination with a 1.3 M waveforms/second update rate for all measurements, enabling quick debugging. The oscilloscope also features a custom-built ASIC that gives engineers higher sample rates and memory under typical testing conditions, an uncompromised waveform update rate, high vertical resolution and hardware-based functions such as mask, zone and serial decode.

The oscilloscope captures longer time spans at full sample rate for better measurement/analysis results. It also offers an all-new user interface enabling versatile functionality, including full ADC and vertical resolution on every channel, several bandwidth limiting options, HD mode support and custom measurement thresholds.

The oscilloscope also introduces automatic fault hunter software for general debugging, which analyses glitches, slow edges and runts while engineers complete other tasks. Engineers can also automate measurements with a large selection of serial bus protocols and application software.
