HD4096 TECHNOLOGY – 16X CLOSER TO PERFECT
Teledyne LeCroy HDO high denition oscilloscopes
use unique HD4096 technology to provide superior
and uncompromised measurement performance:
– 12-bit ADCs with high sample rates
– High signal-to-noise ampliers (55 dB)
– Low noise system architecture (to 1 GHz)
Oscilloscopes with HD4096 technology have higher resolution
than conventional 8-bit oscilloscopes (4096 vs. 256 vertical
levels) and low noise for uncompromised measurement
performance. The 12-bit ADCs support capture of fast signals
and oscilloscope bandwidth ratings up to 1 GHz, and Enhanced
Sample Rate to 10 GS/s ensures the highest measurement
accuracy and precision. The high performance input ampliers
deliver pristine signal delity with a 55 dB signal-to-noise ratio.
The low-noise system architecture provides an ideal signal
path to ensure that signal details are delivered accurately to the
oscilloscope display – 16x closer to perfect.
16x More Resolution
HD4096 technology provides 12-bits of vertical resolution with 16x more resolution compared to
conventional 8-bit oscilloscopes. The 4096 discrete vertical levels reduce the quantization error compared
to 256 vertical levels. This improves the accuracy and precision of the signal capture and increases
measurement condence.
