DSA70404B

Tektronix DSA70404B Digital Serial Analyzer

The Tektronix DSA70404B Digital Serial Analyzer has a maximum 50 GS/s real-time sample rate, up to 250 Megasamples of record length with the MultiView Zoom™ feature for quick navigation, the highest bandwidth up to 20 GHz that enables measurement on the latest high-speed serial standards, superior signal integrity, and excellent signal-to-noise ratio that allows the user to observe the truest representation of the waveform.

The Pinpoint trigger framework incorporated in the DSA70404B uses silicon germanium (SiGe) technology to offer high trigger sensibility for extremely low jitter and the capability to catch very narrow issues. Exact shooting permits the selection of virtually every trigger type in activation events A and B. Different trigger frameworks offer numerous shoot types only in a single event (To event) with delayed trigger (event B) selection restricted to edge type activation. They do not provide a way to restart the firing sequence if event B does not occur.

With features other than simply color-grading, FastAcq’s proprietary DPX® acquisition captures signals at more than 300,000 waveforms for every second on all four channels simultaneously, dramatically expanding the probability of finding rare fault events. The Tektronix DSA70404B also includes protocol and serial pattern triggering to debug serial architectures. The user can apply the serial pattern triggering for NRZ serial data stream built-in clock recovery and correlate events across physical and link layers.
