Description

The Tektronix TDS6154C 15 GHz, 40 GS/s Digital Storage Oscilloscope provides unprecedented performance along with a complete feature set designed to address design validation, debug, and compliance challenges of next-generation computer, datacom, and communications equipment. High bandwidth, high sample rate, and deep memory also provide the ideal solution for data acquisition applications.

The Tektronix TDS6154C provides matched 15 GHz performance across any two channels using advanced, Tektronix-proprietary DSP enhancement, important for high-speed channel-channel measurements. The user-selectable DSP filter on each channel provides magnitude and phase correction, plus extension of the analog bandwidth to 15 GHz for more accurate signal fidelity on high-speed measurements – easily capturing the fifth harmonic of 3.0 GHz embedded clocks used in next-generation 6.0 Gb/s serial data standards, and even the third harmonic of 5 GHz clocks being developed for future systems. The DSP filter on each channel can also be switched off to take advantage of true 12 GHz analog bandwidth for applications needing the highest available raw data capture.

The ability to trigger an oscilloscope on events of interest is paramount in high-speed debug and validation. Whether you’re trying to find a system error, or need to isolate a section of a complex signal for further analysis, Tektronix’ Pinpoint triggering provides the solution. The Pinpoint trigger system uses Silicon Germanium (SiGe) technology to provide trigger sensitivity of up to 9 GHz.
