Applications
Whether you are working on
next generation microprocessor designs, high-speed data
communications equipment,
or in high-energy physics
research, the TDS 694C captures your fastest signals with
the best fidelity and resolution available. Its 3 GHz
bandwidth preserves your
waveform’s fast rising edges
and accurately shows signal
details. With 10 GS/s digitizing rate simultaneously on all
four channels and a high-stability timebase, the TDS 694C
makes your critical timing
measurements with the highest resolution and accuracy
– even channel-to-channel
measurements made in a single acquisition.
The TDS 600C oscilloscopes
incorporate all the advanced
trigger features you expect in
a high performance oscilloscope. The TDS 694C can be
configured for cross triggering with a Tektronix TLA 700
Logic Analyzer.
The TDS 600C oscilloscopes
give you the total solution to
your digital design characterization and debugging needs.
Now you have the tool you
need to verify design margins, characterize setup and
hold times, and measure
clock-to-data skew on the
fastest digital designs.
The TDS 600C offers 29 automatic measurements, with
measurement statistics, to
make your design verification
and characterization job
much faster and easier.
Available Java-based application packages for Jitter Analysis, Disk Drive measurements
and Processor Specification
measurements provide customized measurements and
analysis capability. The
TDS 600C gives you the performance and features you
need to get your job done
faster and more thoroughly.

to capture a single triggered acquisition at a
time, which may be automatically saved to
NVRAM with AutoSave.
TRIGGERING SYSTEM
TRIGGER TYPES
EDGE (Main and Delayed) –
Conventional level-driven trigger. Positive or
negative slope on any channel or rear panel
auxiliary input. Coupling selections: DC, AC,
noise reject, HF reject, LF reject.
LOGIC (Main) –
PATTERN: Specifies a logical combination
(AND, OR, NAND, NOR) of the four input
channels (high, low, don’t care). Trigger
when pattern stays true or false for a specified time.
STATE: Any logical pattern of channels 1, 2,
and 3 (AUX1 on TDS680C) plus a clock
edge on channel 4 (AUX2 on TDS680C).
Triggerable on rising or falling clock edge.
SETUP/HOLD: Trigger on violations of both
setup time and hold time between clock and
data which are on two input channels.
PULSE (Main) –
GLITCH: Trigger on or reject glitches of
positive, negative, or either polarity. Minimum glitch width is 1.0ns with 200ps
resolution.
RUNT: Trigger on a pulse that crosses one
threshold but fails to cross a second threshold before crossing the first again.
WIDTH: Trigger on width of positive or negative pulse either within or out of selectable
time limits (1ns to 1 s).
SLEW RATE: Trigger on pulse edge rates
that are either faster or slower than a set
rate. Edges can be rising, falling, or either.
