Real-time digital oscilloscopes support compliance analysis and high-speed design challenges

Saelig Company, Inc. has released the Rigol DS80000 series high-bandwidth real-time digital oscilloscopes, the eighth generation of Rigol oscilloscopes. All the 6/8/10/13GHz analogue bandwidth models provide powerful high-speed signal analysis, with up to 40GSa/s real-time sampling on each channel, maintaining uncompromised performance even with all four channels active, ensuring the precise capture of high-speed signals such as MIPI, USB3.0, and more. Up to 4Gpts memory depth allows fine signal details to be discovered and displayed clearly. The tiltable 15.6" high-definition touch screen can be electronically adjusted with one button, supporting gesture-enabled operation and multi-pane windowing. A high-definition, smart, and quick-responsive shortcut menu display can be viewed as a secondary display for an individual, user-defined quick operation menu. Remote or computer control with SCPI commands via USB/LAN/HDMI interfaces can fulfil diversified test application scenarios.

Analysis challenges, compliance tests of various protocols, and jitter analysis are typical applications that can include:

• High-speed signal protocol compliance analysis: With the 13GHz bandwidth and 40GSa/s real-time sample rate, the DS80000 series digital oscilloscope can cover more high-speed signal protocol compliance analysis application scenarios, for compliance analysis tests such as PCIe and USB2.0.
• High-Speed Components and System Performance Validation: The DS80000 series provides advanced jitter and eye diagram analysis functions, which can be widely applied to scenarios such as embedded system debugging, high-speed serial and parallel bus performance testing, clock jitter, signal integrity, PLL performance validation, etc.
• High-speed protocol compliance analysis: Supports physical layer testing for MIPI D-PHY, USB2.0/3.0, 100/1000Base-T, automotive Ethernet, etc., with built-in eye diagram templates, jitter analysis, and compliance verification tools.
• High-speed device and system performance validation: Ideal for signal integrity testing in high-speed digital circuits, RF front-end modules, optical communication components, and performance evaluation of high-speed SerDes, FPGAs, ASICs, etc. Fast sampling ensures accurate capture of transient signals for system stability analysis.
• Laser pulse signal testing: Delivers rapid rise and fall time response with high sampling precision, enabling detailed, accurate measurements of laser pulse characteristics.

DS80000 Oscilloscopes feature the Smart Probe 2.0 Intelligent Probe System, a newly designed 3.5mm interface, compatible with next-generation and legacy active differential and passive probes via adapters. This design automatically detects and simplifies probe switching for varying test scenarios, thereby enhancing overall testing efficiency.

This latest addition to Rigol's portfolio provides powerful high-speed signal capture and analysis capabilities, supplying engineers worldwide with a reliable tool for fault isolation and validation in high-speed designs. Built on Rigol's custom-developed StationMax II modular hardware platform and UltraVision III technology framework, the DS80000 Series attains new levels of measurement across the wide technology world. Suitable for rack-mounting (17.6" x 12.2" x 20.6"), these oscilloscopes are available now.
