Uncompromised Performance
Oscilloscope Solution — Probing,
Acquisition, Analysis, Compliance
and Debug

TDS6000B Series digital storage

oscilloscopes provide 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.

Uncompromised Acquisition

Never again will you need to trade-off

bandwidth, record length and sample

rate. The TDS6000B Series DSO

provides a new acquisition architecture

that has maximum sample rate (20 GS/s)

and record length (32 Megasamples) on

each of the four channels simultaneously.

The TDS6804B provides matched 8 GHz

performance across all four channels

using advanced DSP enhancement,

important for high speed channel-to-

channel measurements. The DSP filter

on each channel provides magnitude

and phase compensation of the analog

bandwidth to provide more accurate

signal fidelity for high-speed measurements.

Ideal for analyzing and debugging

multi-lane serial device designs and

interconnect. Four lanes of serial data

traffic can be analyzed simultaneously.

The DSP filter on each channel can also

be disabled to take advantage of the

true 7 GHz analog bandwidth.

Pinpoint™Triggering

The ability to trigger an oscilloscope on

events of interest is paramount in high

speed debug and validation. Whether you

are trying to isolate a system error or

need to isolate a section of interest of a

complex signal for further analysis,

Tektronix’ new Pinpoint trigger system

provides the solution. The Pinpoint trigger

system uses Silicon Germanium (SiGe)

technology to provide trigger sensitivity of

7 GHz (at 2.5 divisions) for all trigger types

on both A and B trigger circuits. Capture

glitches down to 100 ps wide, trigger jitter

less than to 1.5 ps

advanced trigger types were offered on a

single event (A Event). If a delayed trigger

(B Event) were used, it would be limited to

edge triggering and not provide any way

to reset the trigger after the B-event

occurred (or didn’t occur). With Pinpoint

triggering, the system provides the full

suite of advance trigger types on both A

and B triggers. Reset triggering provides

the ability to reset the trigger circuit after a

specified time, state or transition so that

even events in the most complex signals

can be captured. Other oscilloscopes

offer less than 20 trigger combinations;

Pinpoint triggering offers over 1400

combinations, all at full bandwidth.

Jitter measurement efficiency is a performance benchmark
that combines acquisition and analysis performance.
It is defined by the number of TIE (Time Interval Error)
measurements per second made by an oscilloscope’s jitter
measurement software. The signal under test is a 4 Gb/s
serial data bit stream with repeating CJTPAT (Compliance
Jitter Test Pattern) from an AWG710 arbitrary waveform
generator. The acquisition system is set to 20 GS/s and
8 Mb record length.

8 GHz Differential Probing

Most high-speed signals today are differ-

ential. The P7380SMA 8 GHz Differential

Probing System provides true differential

SMA connection (for SMA connected test

fixtures) to the device under test. The

optional P7380SMA Differential Probing

System provides a 50 Ω per side termination

network with a termination voltage. The

termination voltage can be applied externally

®

or through the TekConnect

from the TDS6000B probe menu or not

used at all. A gain switch provides two

different sensitivity settings of the probe

and an Aux Out provides an inverted

version of the signal for driving other

equipment. The P7380SMA probing

system used with the TDS6000B

oscilloscopes provide an ideal solution

for validation and compliance testing

of high speed serial data links.
