See More Signal Detail with 12-bit Vertical Resolution
March 27, 2020
New technologies rely on high-speed networks, low interference, and low power consumption, creating new challenges of validating very small amplitude signals with greater accuracy.
Oscilloscopes have traditionally used 8-bit ADCs because oscilloscope ADC technology has prioritized sample rate. 8-bit ADCs can provide high sample rates and therefore excellent time resolution. The 8-bit ADC in an oscilloscope sufficiently balances acquisition speed and amplitude accuracy for signals with frequencies in the hundreds. Tektronix’ new 4 Series, 5 Series, and 6 Series MSO oscilloscopes support 12-bit vertical resolution and up to 16 bits of resolution with oversampling thanks to the integrated circuitry of a custom ASIC.
Learn how integrated voltage sensing solutions support a more efficient and affordable way of measuring battery life to increase driving range and charge time.
The high-voltage CCE4511 interface IC has overvoltage detection, as well as high temperature and overcurrent protection, based on 0.18m HV-CMOS technology. Typical applications...
