Farnell, a fast and reliable distributor of products and technology for electronic and industrial system design, maintenance and repair has announced an expansion to its test and measurement equipment offering by introducing the Keysight Technologies InfiniiVision HD3 Series oscilloscope.
Designed to meet the needs of engineers who must detect the tiniest and most sporadic signal irregularities to quickly identify and address issues across various applications, the Keysight HD3 Series delivers superior vertical resolution through its state-of-the-art 14-bit ADC and a low noise floor of 50 µVRMS. These advanced features are made possible by a newly crafted custom ASIC and a deep memory architecture.
“Recognising the need of engineers for quick and precise measurements for a variety of applications, we built the InfiniiVision HD3 from the ground up to deliver an exceptionally precise general use oscilloscope,” said Robert Saponas, Vice President and General Manager, Keysight Digital Photonics Center of Excellence. “As an industry-leading design, emulation, and test solutions provider, Keysight is excited to work with our partners to bring the new HD3 Series into the field to speed design debugging to accelerate time to market.”
Christelle Mazella, Senior Manager, Test & Measurement at Farnell, said, “The Keysight InfiniiVision HD3 Series is more than just an oscilloscope; it’s a game-changer for engineers who demand absolute precision in their measurements. By incorporating this cutting-pioneering technology into our portfolio, we’re empowering our customers to achieve faster, more accurate debugging and to push the boundaries of what’s possible in their designs. At Farnell, we’re committed to delivering the tools that enable innovation, and the HD3 Series is a perfect example of that.”
The Keysight HD3 Series oscilloscope covers bandwidths between 200 MHz and 1 GHz and delivers the following benefits:
- Unparalleled precision – Delivers 14-bit ADC resolution and low noise floor in combination with an uncompromised 1.3 M waveforms / second update rate for all measurements, enabling quick, accurate debugging.
- Built on new technology – Features a custom-built ASIC that gives engineers higher sample rates and memory under typical testing conditions, an uncompromised waveform update rate, high vertical resolution, and hardware-based functions such as mask, zone, and serial decode.
- Deep memory – Captures longer time spans at full sample rate for better measurement / analysis results.
- All-new interface – Offers an all-new user interface enabling versatile functionality, , several bandwidth limiting options, HD mode support, and custom measurement thresholds.
- Full test automation – Introduces automatic fault hunter software for general debugging, which analyzes glitches, slow edges, and runts while engineers complete other tasks. Engineers can also automate measurements with a large selection of serial bus protocols and application software.
- Instant software upgrades – Provides immediate bandwidth, memory, and feature upgrades through software licensing, enabling designers to purchase options they need now and upgrade as their designs evolve in the future without having to return the instrument to the factory.
The Keysight HD3 Series oscilloscope is now available through element14 in APAC, Newark in North America, and Farnell in EMEA, providing engineers across the globe with access to this advanced technology.
