Offering bandwidths from 18 GHz to 4 GHz, the SDA Series of oscilloscopes enables superior eye diagram fidelity for data rates up to 10 Gb/s.

These SDA instruments offer accurate and repeatable jitter analysis, precise eye patterns with violation locator, precision numerical clock recovery, and support for next generation standards PCI-E 2, FC 8.5, and FB-DIMM.

Used by semiconductor, device, system, and software developers, LeCroy protocol analysis solutions feature impressive capabilities including:

• Monitoring bus activity, diagnosing operational and design problems, and confirming interoperability
• Variety of configurations for a large range of applications
• Functionality to assist design and test engineers and technicians through each phase of their products’ life-cycle
• Powerful software that may be used directly with the equipment, or independently as a viewer and analysis tool
• Flexible platforms that offer future functionality via field upgrades

This series offers the first instruments that combine the high bandwidth and accuracy of a sampling oscilloscope with the speed and flexibility of a real-time instrument. This series of Near Real Time Oscilloscopes (NRO), eliminates most of the constraints of traditional sampling oscilloscopes. Enabled by a new LeCroy technology—Advanced Throughput Architecture (ATA)—they offer up to 100 GHz bandwidth, signal acquisition speeds 100 times faster, and memory depths 125,000 times deeper than conventional sampling scopes.

Virtual Probing™ and equalizer emulation enhance the capability of the SDA to allow the measurement of serial data signals in equalized systems.

• Full signal integrity analysis of equalized receiver signal
• Real time co-simulation of measured signals and measured or modeled network characteristics
• Evaluate performance margins in equalized systems
• De-embedding of fixture and probe responses
• High accuracy far-end channel measurements
• Emulates any combination of DFE and FFE equalizers
• Automatic equalizer coefficient optimization
• Direct entry of FFE and DFE coefficients

Locate Problems Triggers Won’t Find. WaveScan is a powerful tool that provides the ability to locate unusual events in a single capture, or scan for an event in many acquisitions over a long period of time using more than 20 different search/scan modes. WaveScan uses measurement-based scanning modes, like frequency, to show statistical distribution of events. It overlays events for a quick and simple visual comparison.
