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.
