DPO/DSAs from Tektronix Promote High-Speed Design

\[July 31, 2006\] The DPO70000 digital phosphor oscilloscope (DPO) and DSA70000 digital serial analyzer (DSA) extend real-time performance for data acquisition, debug, validation, and compliance testing in high-speed designs. Both instrument series are based on a next-generation hardware platform that eliminates the trade-offs found in comparable oscilloscopes and analyzers, particularly in the realm of sample rate, record length, and waveform-capture rates. The 4-GHz DPO70404, 6-GHz DPO70604, and 8-GHz DPO70804 provide ample bandwidth for digital-design apps, while the 4-GHz DSA70404, 6-GHz DSA70604, and 8-GHz DSA70804 DSAs suit first generation multi-lane and multi-layer serial bus designs. The analyzers provide a sample rate of 25 Gsamples/s on all four channels simultaneously and feature a selectable DSP for channel-to-channel and scope-to-scope matching. The DPO70804 and DSA70804 specify a rise time to 35 ps and provide a jitter-noise floor down to 400 fs_RMS. Each DPO70000 model includes 10M of memory per channel while the DSA70000 includes 20M standard per channel. Both support configurations up to 100M per channel and all models include a 12.1" XGA display. Prices for the 4-GHz DPO70404 begin at $44,000 and DSA70000 models begin at $49,500.
