Teledyne LeCroy GmbH

Teledyne LeCroy presents the HDO4000A, HDO6000A, HDO8000A, and MDA800A analog and mixed-signal oscilloscopes. These four high-definition oscilloscope product lines range from 200 MHz – 1 GHz bandwidth and utilize 12-bit HD4096 technology. This technology arrived in 2012 and remains unique in the market place. Today’s announcement takes these ground-breaking products to new levels of measurement capability. HDO-A oscilloscopes feature Enhanced Sample Rate technology that automatically ensures optimal display of acquired waveforms to the instruments’ full rated bandwidth. Additionally, the next-generation MAUI^® with OneTouch user interface makes measurement setup insanely easy and provides users dramatically faster time to insight when debugging complex signal abnormalities.  Lastly, the updated PC systems with faster processors, more CPU memory, and solid-state drives add even more value. With the HDO-A introduction, the world’s highest definition oscilloscopes become even more powerful and productive with 10x oversampling, the most efficient and intuitive user interface, and a supercharged PC system.

HDO4000A, HDO6000A, HDO8000A, and MDA800A Provide Application Excellence
All HDOs are ideal for debugging and troubleshooting power electronics, automotive electronics, and embedded/mechatronic designs with high-resolution sensor signals. They are the favored oscilloscopes in automotive, digital power management, power integrity, physics, and military/aero applications.  The eight channels provided by the HDO8000A series are ideal for high power and/or three-phase power conversion testing and digital power management validation.  MDA800A Motor Drive Analyzers, which are built on the HDO8000A platform, also perform three-phase electrical and mechanical power calculations with unique static and dynamic power views as well as complete control system validation.

HDOs owe their high performance to bandwidths up to 1 GHz, acquisition memory of up to 250 Mpt/ch, and 12-bit vertical resolution. There are also mixed-signal oscilloscope (MSO) options/models. All HDOs offer an extensive array of serial trigger, decode, measure/graph, and eye diagram (TDME) options. All of the above, coupled with many other general-purpose and application-specific probes and software options, have made the HDOs an industry favorite. 

HD4096 High Definition Technology
HD4096 High Definition Technology finds its roots in high-sample-rate 12-bit ADCs, high signal-to-noise ratio amplifiers, and low-noise system architecture. This technology enables HDO-A oscilloscopes to capture and display signals of up to 1 GHz at 16 times more resolution than other oscilloscopes. In the HDO-A oscilloscopes, HD4096 technology is augmented by Enhanced Sample Rate technology, which automatically ensures optimal display of acquired waveforms to the instruments’ full rated bandwidth.
 

Teledyne LeCroy presents the WavePro HD high-definition oscilloscopes, which combine for the first time HD4096 12-bit technology and 8 GHz bandwidth for low noise and pristine signal fidelity. With a maximum of 5 Gpoints of fast, responsive, and easily navigable acquisition memory, also an industry first, WavePro HD oscilloscopes also acquire extremely fine waveform details over long periods of time. A deep, powerful toolset quickly exposes underlying system behaviors. 
WavePro HD 12-bit oscilloscopes uniquely support engineers in developing smaller, faster, and lower-power mobile and handheld devices; high-speed, deeply-embedded computing systems; and datacenter technologies. All of these are characterized by analog sensor inputs, sensitive power-distribution networks (PDNs) with very low-voltage power rails, and high-speed CPUs and serial-data interfaces. This requires an oscilloscope with a unique combination of high resolution, low noise, high bandwidth, and very long capture times at high sample rates to facilitate comprehensive system debugging.
All WavePro HD oscilloscopes feature a large 15.6”, 1900 x 1080-pixel capacitive touch screen and Teledyne LeCroy’s powerful MAUI with OneTouch user interface for intuitive, efficient operation. The instruments come in four models with bandwidths from 2.5 GHz to 8 GHz, all featuring sample rates up to 20 GS/s.20 GS/s.
 

HD4096 Technology Meets 8-GHz Bandwidth
At the heart of WavePro HD is a new 8-GHz chipset comprising a low-noise front-end amplifier and a 12-bit ADC.. That chipset, tightly integrated with a new low-noise, high-bandwidth system architecture, unlocks the full potential of HD4096 High Definition Technology in an industry-first 8-GHz, 12-bit oscilloscope. Competitive instruments either simply place a 10- or 12-bit ADC into a conventional 8-bit signal path, or use software techniques to sacrifice bandwidth for higher resolution. WavePro HD’s HD4096 technology provides the highest resolution and lowest noise at full bandwidth without compromise.
 

Next-Generation Long-Memory Architecture

With WavePro HD’s next-generation signal-acquisition and memory-management architecture, 5-Gpoint acquisitions are fast and responsive. Meanwhile, WavePro HD's MAUI advanced user interface makes it easy to find, navigate to, and thoroughly analyze waveform features of interest. The instruments can acquire 250 ms at the full 20-GS/s sample rate, and always with 12-bit resolution.

Design and test engineers have come to demand the signal detail and measurement accuracy that comes with a 12-bit HDO when debugging deeply-embedded systems in IoT, automotive, switch-mode power supply and other control system designs. Other oscilloscope manufacturers make claims of 10-bit or 12-bit resolution, but their oscilloscopes lack low-noise and low-jitter components throughout their acquisition system and require tradeoffs of channel count, bandwidth or sample rate to achieve high resolution and lower noise.

The WaveSurfer 4000HD answers the call as a highly affordable instrument that leverages Teledyne LeCroy’s HD4096 High Definition technology to deliver 12-bit resolution all the time. HD4096 technology utilizes a system design of high signal-to-noise input amplifiers, high sample rate 12-bit ADCs, and a low-noise system architecture to enable capture and display of waveforms with 16x more resolution than 8-bit oscilloscopes. WaveSurfer 4000HD delivers the best performance in its class, demonstrating the lowest baseline noise — 2.5 times better than competitive oscilloscopes with 12-bit ADCs and 8 times better than competitive oscilloscopes with 10-bit ADCs — and highest accuracy — 0.5% versus competitors’ 2.5% at 1 mV/div gain setting. Displayed waveforms are crisper, cleaner and provide visibility into signal details that are often lost in the noise on other oscilloscopes, including those with advertised 10-bit and 12-bit ADCs.

WaveSurfer 4000HD further increases its value by integrating multiple instruments into one and reducing clutter on the test bench: it offers an optional 16-channel Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope (MSO), Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG), Frequency Counter and Spectrum Analyzer (available early 2020).

Today’s highly complex power-conversion systems, automotive ECUs, and embedded control systems are becoming smaller, denser, and faster.. With more signals, sensor inputs, and lower-voltage power rails than ever, engineers need instruments with lower noise and more channels, resolution, bandwidth, and acquisition memory to understand and debug the tangle of tightly coupled signal interactions.

WaveRunner 8000HD delivers 2 GHz of bandwidth with 12-bit resolution for the most demanding embedded control system and power integrity debug requirements. Additionally, 8 channels enable viewing of more signals concurrently for more efficient debug, and more acquisition memory for long-duration and high sample-rate captures. Furthermore, two WaveRunner 8000HD oscilloscopes can be connected together to function as a single 16-channel acquisition system—especially useful in power conversion applications. Only WaveRunner 8000HD delivers this combination of channels, bandwidth, and acquisition memory at very low noise to unravel and solve these power conversion, embedded control system, and power integrity issues.

WaveRunner 8000HD’s HD4096 technology takes a systematic approach to 12-bit measurement resolution. HD4096 technology provides the highest resolution and lowest noise at full bandwidth—12 bits all the time with no compromises. Competitive instruments either simply drop a 10- or 12-bit ADC into a conventional 8-bit signal path or use software techniques that sacrifice bandwidth for higher resolution—making it impossible for them to provide 12-bit resolution all the time at high bandwidths.

Teledyne LeCroy’s new OscilloSYNC^TM technology smashes channel-count barriers by teaming two WaveRunner 8000HD instruments to view and control 16 synchronized analog channels from a single display and front panel—just like having a single 16-channel acquisition system.
Like all its WaveRunner predecessors, WaveRunner 8000HD contains a powerful, deep toolbox providing industry-leading capabilities. When coupled with HD4096 High Definition technology, the WaveRunner 8000HD High Definition Oscilloscopes provide the most comprehensive and efficient debug and validation.
