Agilent intros 2.8-Gb/sec entry-level option for industry’s fastest logic analyzer

SANTA CLARA, USA: Agilent Technologies Inc. has introduced a new lower-priced entry-level 1.4-Gb/sec state mode option for the industry’s fastest logic analyzer, the Agilent U4154A.

The new option combines a state capture speed of 2.8 Gb/sec on 68 channels and 1.4 Gb/sec on 136 channels with scanning at 20 ps and 20 mV resolution, providing reliable capture data on eye openings as small as 160 ps by 160 mV.

When engineers require higher state mode data rates, they can upgrade to achieve state captures of 4 Gb/sec on 68 channels and 2.5 Gb/sec on 136 channels. These capabilities enable engineers to measure the increasingly fast digital signals used in emerging technologies.

The Agilent U4154A AXIe-based logic analyzer module and associated probes and powerful analysis software provide essential capabilities for engineers working with DDR (double data rate) and low-power DDR memory systems, high-speed application-specific integrated chips, analog-to-digital converters and field-programmable gate arrays operating at speeds up to 4 Gb/sec.

The industry’s highest trigger sequencer speeds – 1.4 GHz with Option 01G and 2.5 GHz with Option 02G – give engineers the ability to trigger reliably on sequential events without having to give up triggering flexibility.
