Keysight Technologies introduces new Infiniium V-Series Oscilloscopes

03 March 2015 – Keysight Technologies announced the Infiniium V-Series oscilloscopes with models from 8 GHz to 33 GHz. The V-Series’ measurement accuracy leads the industry in three areas: lowest oscilloscope noise floor, lowest real-time oscilloscope jitter floor and highest number of effective bits. The V-Series offers a 12.5-Gbps hardware serial trigger (HWST) with a 160-bit sequence. Currently, this is the only HWST capable of finding 132-bit USB 3.1 (128b/132b) or 130-bit PCIe Gen 3 (128b/130b) symbols.

The V-Series also offers the industry’s fastest mixed signal oscilloscope with 20-GS/s digital channels, which is ideal for triggering, analyzing and debugging DDR4 and LPDDR4 buses.

"The V-Series ensures timely validation and debug, whether a designer is looking for answers across multiple serial lanes or a massively parallel bus," said Dave Cipriani, vice president and general manager of Keysight’s Oscilloscope and Protocol Division. "When they choose the V-Series, R&D labs in today’s most competitive industries will be equipped to achieve greater clarity faster."

To enable high-performance measurements at the probe tip, Keysight is also announcing the new N7000A Series InfiniiMax III+ high-speed probing solutions from 8 to 20 GHz. These probing solutions come with the InfiniiMode feature, enabling convenient measurements of differential, single-ended and common-mode signals using a single probe tip and connection. This capability complements the existing N2800A Series InfiniiMax III 30-GHz high-bandwidth differential probing solutions. In addition, the new N7010A active termination adapter, which is targeted for HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort and MIPI M-PHY gear 3/4 applications, provides ultra-low-noise voltage termination (with adjustable voltage range from -4V to +4V) to a signal.

The expertise embedded in Keysight oscilloscope software applications saves time and effort. Compliance applications are certified to test the exact specifications of standards such as USB 3.1, PCIe Gen 3, LPDDR4, HDMI 2.0, 100G Ethernet and MIPI applications.
