Automotive

Today’s cars include many highly sophisticated Electronic Control Unit (ECU) with sensitive electronic components. The Model 685 combines 6.16 GSa/s with a 16-bit vertical resolution, making it an ideal tool for successfully addressing the new testing challenges 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, enabling 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 industry 4.0 applications.

University and Research Institute

Research centers and Universities are key users of the Model 685 Arbitrary Waveform series. Complex waveform and/or sophisticated pulse emulation based on variable edges or multilevel can be perfectly created. The combination of fast edge generation, excellent dynamic range, and an easy-to-use user interface combine perfectly for scientists and engineers working on large experiments such as accelerators, tokamak, or synchrotrons to emulate signals without creating specifics test boards.

  • Emulation of Detectors
  • Emulation of Noise adding Signal Sources
  • Generation or Playback of Real-world Signals
  • Emulation of long PRBS (PseudoRandom Binary Sequence)
  • Modulating and Driving Laser Diodes
Aerospace and Defense

Electronic Warfare signals driven by Radar or Sonar systems match perfectly with these generators. Large BW Riders can be used on digital modulation systems for radio applications or other I/Q signal modulation. Pulses may be easily generated for applications such as Pulse Electron Beams, X-ray sources, Flash X-ray Radiography, Lighting Pulse simulators, and 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

Emulation of complex signals generated with the inclusion of noise or distortions is an excellent way to provide the Compliance Components Test to help semiconductor engineers. The fast edges and pulse generation 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 IC using the Low Impedance feature (5 Ω output impedance)
Serial Pattern Generators

With serial data pattern generator features, the Model 685 is designed to generate a stream of binary information through the front-end BNC & SMA connectors. Serial Data Pattern Generators assist a wide range of applications stemming from Digital Logic and Semiconductors characterization, Aerospace & Defense compliance testing, Mixed Signal Systems testing, and Signal Integrity experiments.
