DDA 5005A/DDA 5005A XXL/
DDA 3000 DISK DRIVE ANALYZERS
Maximum Performance
Since their inception, Disk Drive
Analysis (DDA) Series oscilloscopes
have helped data storage design
engineers improve the time to market
of new products and accelerated
understanding and failure analysis on
existing drives. LeCroy continues
that tradition with its powerful Disk
Drive Analysis toolset, enabling you
to capture, view, and analyze the
wave shape of high-speed, complex
drive signals with speed and integrity.
LeCroy’s X-Stream architecture
integrates SiGe “digitizer on a chip“
technology and a specialized high-speed
streaming bus design to transfer
data from the ADC to a proprietary
acquisition memory. The X-Stream
architecture enables disk drive
engineers to quickly, easily, and
accurately measure and analyze
disk drive signals.
The DDA 5005A is designed for signal
fidelity, whole track acqui sition and
analysis for read channel, media noise
analysis, and head para metrics with the
longest acquisition memory standard.
The DDA 3000 provides the same
measurement capability at a lower
bandwidth. This unique product has
the convenience of selectable 50 Ω or
1 MΩ inputs.
Excellence in Head, Disk, Track,
and Noise Analysis
The DDA Series analyzers incorporate
the tools to make you the most
efficient. The standard 100 Mpts of
capture memory in the DDA 3000
(2 channel mode) and DDA 5005A XXL
provides 5 milliseconds of single-shot
20 GS/s capture on two channels,
allowing multiple drive sectors to be
acquired at once.
Long Memory and Flexibility
in Finding Problems
Acquire a head signal up to 5 GHz, and
then QuickZoom it from the front panel.
The DDA copies and expands the drive
signal automatically. Simply scroll
horizontally and vertically to examine
any sector. Multiple zooms let you view
up to eight separate areas of the head

DDA 5005A/DDA 5005A XXL/DDA 3000
High Fidelity Connection
to the Drive
With the WaveLink®high fre quency
differential probes, design engineers
can measure read channel signals
up to 3 or 5 GHz. The unique
design ensures high impedance
loading across the full bandwidth,
so that you can match the probe
bandwidth to your requirement.
signal; each zoom comes in a distinct
color. You can measure the time
between two events accurately with
horizontal and vertical cursors. Disk
drive parameters let you characterize the
pulse width variation or signal-to-noise
ratio across a selectable region. Failure
Analysis engineers can store and recall
golden waveforms and panel setups to
compare problem drives with the
known good drives. Analog-to-digital
converters running at speeds up to
20 GS/s ensure the right sensitivity
to measure today’s high-speed read
channels. In every DDA, you can run
your customer-developed scripts to
view the captured signal with the filters
matched to your channel and media.
Custom user scripts can be created in
MATLAB, Mathcad, Visual Basic, or
even Excel.
Exceptional Trigger Performance
Disk Triggers allow you to set up a
series of events in the signal that then
cause a trigger. For example, qualify
the signal on the index signal and then
capture all the sectors of information
on the track. As memory is increased
in the DDA, more sectors can be
captured, with up to 50 picosecond/
sample time resolution. Up to 25,000
sectors of data can be gathered with
the DDA 3000 or DDA 5005A XXL.
Natural Graphical Interface
One press of the DDA button takes
you directly to the Disk Drive Analyzer
features. The familiar controls on
the front panel, coupled with a
natural, context-sensitive graphical
user-interface, react quickly to
your commands. Function ality
is exactly where you expect it
to be. If you have questions,
context-sensitive on-line help
gives immediate assistance.
Cursors
Cursors let you measure time and
amplitude points on the disk wave -
forms. You can measure the time
between gate and signal across two
different channels. Different cursor
modes are easily recalled and set.
They are easily accessed from the
front panel or the graphical user
interface. Set up basic time or
amplitude cursors on a single wave -
form, or choose to use independent
cursors on different waveforms.
ProLink
Signal Inputs
(DDA 5005A Analyzer)
ProLink inputs provide a high integrity,
high bandwidth interchangeable
inter face to SMA or BNC cables,
probes, and accessories. ProLink
supports ProBus for direct, automatic
control of LeCroy probes and
acces sories. The optional AP-1M
adapter provides Hi-Z input.
Flexible Connectivity
The DDA Series comes complete
with a 100Base-T/10Base-T Ethernet
connection and a built-in hard drive
for waveform storage. At the press
of a button, you can even e-mail the
measurement result and waveform
display to other engineers or to your
notebook. Attach any USB device for
extended connectivity for network
printing, or for attaching additional
storage or pointing devices.

WaveScan Advanced Search
Locate Problems Triggers Won’t Find WaveScan is a powerful tool that provides
the ability to locate unusual events in a single capture, or scan for an event in many
acquisitions over a long period of time using more than 20 different search/scan modes.
WaveScan uses measurement-based scanning modes, like frequency, to show statistical
distribution of events. It overlays events for a quick and simple visual comparison.
