SDA 8 Zi-A Serial Data Analyzers - SDA 8 Zi-A

SDA 8 Zi-A Serial Data Analyzers combine the highest bandwidth (45 GHz) and sample rate (120 GS/s) with superior performance at 20 GHz on all four input channels. Models are available from 4 to 45 GHz with complete bandwidth upgradability throughout the range. SDA 8 Zi-A models combine all the attributes of WaveMaster 8 Zi-A with additional capabilities specifically suited for serial data testing.

45 GHz Real-Time Bandwidth

LeCroy has again broken bandwidth barriers by utilizing widely adopted and proven SiGe processes, custom 2nd generation ASIC designs, and 6th generation Digital Bandwidth Interleave (DBI) technology to achieve unprecedented real-time oscilloscope performance:

• 45 GHz
• 120 GS/s
• 768 Mpts/Ch Analysis Memory

20 GHz/4ch Model

Four channel performance at 20 GHz is pristine with exceptional rise time, overshoot, total and random jitter noise floor, and electrical noise performance. SDAII Serial Data Analysis Software LeCroy's SDAII software is optimized for fast eye diagram creation on long records, and deep insight of jitter pathologies with more parameters and analysis views to help you understand the root cause of high jitter.

Additional Capability Standard

SDA 8 Zi-A models provide additional capability standard that costs extra in WaveMaster 8 Zi-A models, such as:

• 32 Mpts/ch memory
• SDAII software
• JTA2 software
• SDM and ET-PMT software
• 8b10b decode
• High speed serial trigger

LeCroy—The Analysis Memory Leader

LeCroy has found a way to make long acquisition memory seamless and pain free to use. The SDA 8 Zi-A Series' proprietary X-Stream II architecture supports capturing, zooming, measuring and analyzing multiple waveforms at up to 768 Mpts deep. SDA 8 Zi-A's proprietary architecture design is augmented with an Intel® Core™ 2 Quad processor (12 GHz effective clock rate), high-speed serial data buses, Windows 7 64-bit OS and 8 GB of RAM. What you experience is processing speed 10–100x faster compared to other oscilloscopes in this class.

Highest Stability Timebase and Lowest Jitter Noise Floor

An exceptionally accurate and stable time base is incorporated for the best possible jitter measurement accuracy—jitter noise floor is as low as 125 fsrms. LeCroy provides highly stable measurements at full (768 Mpts) record lengths, simplifying debug of low frequency events.

Freedom from Probing Limitations

High bandwidth differential probes (up to 25 GHz), single-ended active probes, current probes, high-voltage, and mixed signals all connect to the SDA 8 Zi-A serial data analyzers and give you a total system view. All SDA 8 Zi-A serial data analyzers contain selectable 50 Ohm and 1 MOhm input capability and can be used with any LeCroy probe—passive or active—without requiring external adapters or power supplies.
