Automotive

Today’s cars include highly sophisticated Electronic Control Units (ECU) with sensitive electronic components. The Model 670C combines 600MSa/s with a 14-bit vertical resolution, making it the ideal tool for successfully addressing emergent shifts in the automotive industry.

  • CAN bus, CAN-FD, LIN, Flexray,  SAE J2716 SENT Protocol Emulation
  • EMI debugging, troubleshooting and testing
  • Electrical standards emulation up to 12V
  • Power MOSFET circuitry in automotive electronics optimization

IoT and Industry 4.0

Arbitrary waveform and function generators will help define new industrial practices for testing the compliance of smart devices. These machines can modulate RF I/Q to enable simulated testing environments and are capable of generating noise to test against wireless devices, allowing for emulations close to or matching compliance test standards required for industrial applications.

University and Research Institute

Research Centers and Universities are important users of the Model 670C Arbitrary Waveform Generator. A combination of fast edge generation, excellent dynamic range, and an accessible user interface enable scientists and engineers the ability to create strictly-defined, sophisticated pulse emulations. A perfect emulation based on variable edges, or multi-levels, fulfills an essential need in scholastic experiments such as accelerators, Tokamak, or synchrotrons--without the need for expensive custom test boards.

  • Emulation of Detectors
  • Emulation of Noise adding Signal Sources
  • Generation or Playback of Real-World Signals
  • Emulation of Long PRBS (Pseudo-Random Binary Sequence)
  • Modulating and Driving Laser Diodes

Aerospace and Defense

EW signals, driven by radar or sonar systems, match perfectly with the Model 670C Performance Arbitrary Waveform Generator. Large BW Riders can be used on digital modulation systems for Radio Applications or other I/Q signal modulations. Additionally, pulses may be generated for applications such as pulse electronic beams, X-ray sources, flash X-ray radiography, lightning pulse simulators, or high power microwave modulators.​

  • Frequency Response, Intermodulation Distortion, and Noise-Figure measurements
  • Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) pull-in and Hold Range characterization
  • Radar Base-band Signals Emulation

Semiconductor Tests

The emulation of complex signals generated with added noise or distortions has grown to become a typical methodology for conducting component compliance tests for semiconductors. The fast edges and pulse generation in the Model 670C can be used to provide characterization in fast power devices.

  • Clock and Sensor Signals Generation
  • MOSFET gate drive Amplitude Signal Emulation
  • Power up sequences of ICs using the Low Impedance feature (5 Ω output impedance)
