Keysight Empower Engineers With Quick and Precise Measurements

With four times the signal resolution and half the noise floor of other comparable general-purpose oscilloscopes, Keysight Technologies presents the InfiniiVision HD3 Series, a 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) oscilloscope. With a custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and deep memory architecture, the new HD3 Series general-purpose oscilloscopes are designed to give engineers the ability to swiftly detect and resolve signal issues in a variety of applications.

Smaller signals are being used in increasingly complex device and component designs. Engineers must troubleshoot designs by tracing numerous signals simultaneously in order to find the smallest signal faults that indicate hardware defects and design flaws.

This will ensure product quality and maximize yields. To address product issues, engineers want an oscilloscope that can measure the smallest and most uncommon signal abnormalities beyond the noise.

In order to face this challenge, the new Keysight HD3 Series oscilloscope offers digital designers and engineers the best vertical resolution possible thanks to a low noise floor of 50 µVRMS and a 14-bit ADC that can detect even the smallest signal anomalies.

The HD3 Series, which spans 200 MHz to 1 GHz, shortens time to market and improves digital debugging with:

• Unparalleled precision – Delivers 14-bit ADC resolution and low noise floor in combination with an uncompromised 1.3 M waveforms / second update rate for all measurements, enabling quick and accurate debugging.
• Built on new technology – 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.
• Deep memory – Captures longer time spans at full sample rate for better measurement / analysis results.
• All-new interface – 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.
• Full test automation – Introduces automatic fault hunter software for general debugging, which analyzes 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.
• Instant software upgrades – Provides immediate bandwidth, memory, and feature upgrades through software licensing, enabling designers to purchase options they need now and upgrade as their designs evolve in the future without having to return the instrument to the factory.

Key Comments

Robert Saponas, Vice President and General Manager, Keysight Digital Photonics Center of Excellence, said: “Recognizing the need of engineers for quick and precise measurements for a variety of applications, we built the InfiniiVision HD3 from the ground up to deliver an exceptionally precise general-purpose oscilloscopes. With a custom ASIC, 14-bit ADC, and half the noise floor, the HD3 Series oscilloscope delivers the precision and accuracy needed to identify the smallest and most infrequent signal glitches during design debugging to accelerate time to market.”
