Keysight's Advanced 14-bit Precision Oscilloscope Now Available at Farnell

Shanghai, China, October 8, 2024 - element14, a global electronic components products and solutions distributor under Anfuri, recently announced the launch of Keysight Technologies' InfiniiVision HD3 series oscilloscopes to expand its test and measurement equipment product portfolio.

Keysight HD3 Series Designed to meet the needs of engineers who need to detect extremely small, sporadic anomalies to quickly identify and solve a variety of application problems, the HD3 Series offers state-of-the-art 14-bit ADCs and excellent vertical resolution with a low noise floor of 50µVRMS. These advanced capabilities are made possible by a new custom ASIC and deep memory architecture.

“Knowing that engineers need to make fast, accurate measurements for a wide range of applications, we built the InfiniiVision HD3 from the ground up to provide a very accurate, general-purpose oscilloscope,” said Robert Saponas, vice president and general manager of Keysight ’s Digital Photonics Center of Excellence. “As an industry-leading provider of design, simulation and test solutions, Keysight is excited to work with our partners to bring the new HD3 series to the field, speeding up design debug and reducing time to market.”

“The Keysight InfiniiVision HD3 Series is more than just an oscilloscope; it’s a game-changing tool for engineers who demand absolute precision in their measurements,” said Christelle Mazella, Senior Manager, Test & Measurement at element14 . “We are delighted to add this groundbreaking technology to our portfolio, helping our customers debug faster and more accurately, pushing the boundaries of their designs. The HD3 Series is a perfect example of our commitment to delivering tools that enable innovation.”

Keysight HD3 Series oscilloscopes cover bandwidths from 200 MHz to 1 GHz and offer the following advantages:

• Unmatched Accuracy - Provides 14-bit ADC resolution and low noise floor, combined with a leading 1.3 M waveforms/sec update rate for all measurements, enabling fast, accurate debug.

• Based on new technology - uses a custom ASIC that provides engineers with higher sampling rates and memory, advanced waveform update rates, high vertical resolution, and hardware-based features such as masks, zones, and serial decode under typical test conditions.

• Deep Memory - Capture longer time spans at full sampling rate for better measurement/analysis results.

• New Interface - Provides a new user interface that supports multiple features, with multiple bandwidth limiting options, HD mode support, and custom measurement thresholds.

• Comprehensive test automation - Introducing automated fault-hunting software for general debugging, which analyzes small glitches, slow edges, and very short frames while engineers complete other tasks. Engineers can also automate measurements using a wide range of serial bus protocols and application software.

• Instant Software Upgrades - Instant bandwidth, memory and feature upgrades available through software licensing, enabling designers to purchase the features they need now and upgrade them in the future as designs evolve without having to return the instrument to the factory.

Engineers worldwide can now access this advanced technology through Keysight's HD3 Series oscilloscopes from element14 in Asia Pacific, Newark in North America and Farnell in EMEA.
