The new series delivers a maximum output frequency of 60 MHz, 16-bit vertical resolution, a sampling rate of 1 GSa/s, and an adjustable waveform length of 8 Mpts, positioning it as an essential tool for development laboratories across various industries.
The SDG1000X Plus is equipped with advanced features aimed at improving signal simulation and analysis accuracy. Its high-performance sampling system, including 16-bit vertical resolution and a 1 GSa/s sampling rate, ensures precise reproduction of signal details and exceptional signal fidelity. This makes it ideal for applications that require high-precision signal creation, such as in the design and testing of communication devices.
The instrument boasts an 8 Mpts waveform memory, allowing for the generation of long, complex modulated signals, which is crucial for detailed testing scenarios. It is particularly well-suited for simulating modulated signals and pulse sequences used in modern communication systems, ensuring optimal performance and system reliability. Furthermore, the SDG1000X Plus is highly effective in high-speed chip testing within the semiconductor industry, where precise timing and amplitude control are vital for ensuring test accuracy. In the biomedical field, it can be used to replicate complex bioelectric signals, aiding research into electrical signal transmission in living organisms and the development of medical devices.
A standout feature of the SDG1000X Plus is its ability to generate PRBS (Pseudo-Random Binary Sequences) from PRBS3 to PRBS32. It supports bit rates ranging from 1 μbps to 40 Mbps, making it ideal for testing high-speed serial communication systems. By accurately emulating real-world communication scenarios, such as those encountered in Ethernet, USB, and HDMI protocols, the SDG1000X Plus helps developers identify potential issues and fine-tune their designs. Additionally, the device is compatible with logic standards such as TTL and LVCMOS, facilitating the generation of differential signals, which is essential for applications requiring high common-mode rejection ratios.
The SDG1000X Plus also includes multi-pulse output capabilities with rise and fall times as fast as 10 ns. Each pulse can be independently configured, allowing engineers to generate precise gate drive signals and assess the switching characteristics and dynamic behavior of power devices. This feature significantly enhances the testing efficiency and accuracy of power components like IGBTs and MOSFETs.
What sets the SDG1000X Plus apart from other signal generators in its class is its combination of high-end features—typically found in more expensive models—at a more affordable price point. By offering exceptional performance at a reduced cost, the SDG1000X Plus provides engineers with a flexible, cost-effective solution for a variety of testing applications. The series is poised to improve test efficiency, reduce R&D costs, and streamline the debugging process, making it an invaluable tool for engineers across multiple industries.
