HIGH-SPEED DIGITAL CAPTURE AND DISPLAY
High-speed Sampling with Superior Sensitivity
The HDA125 samples 18 input signals at 12.5 GS/s,
for accurate characterization of the fastest signals. But
sample rate is only half the story - high-speed embedded
systems testing often poses very challenging signal
amplitude conditions. The High-speed Digital Analyzer
meets these challenges with ultra-low probe loading and
industry-leading sensitivity (150 mV minimum signal swing).
The most precise threshold settings are ensured with a
unique hysteresis adjustment capability, and three times
better threshold accuracy than competing mixed-signal
instruments.
Acquisition Synchronization and Cross-triggering
The HDA125 connects to Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes
using an LBUS or ChannelSync interface, enabling the digital
channels to be acquired with the same timebase accuracy
and triggering synchronization as a built-in mixed-signal
solution. A USB 3.1 interface provides high-speed transfer of
the acquired digital data to the oscilloscope. And the modular
design allows you to better leverage your investment by
sharing digital capability between existing instruments.
Enhance Existing Oscilloscope Capabilities
The HDA125 allows you to add high-speed digital
acquisition and analysis capabilities to your existing
laboratory oscilloscopes - no need to update the entire
instrument just to add new functionality. WaveMaster 8 Zi,
WavePro 7 Zi, WaveRunner 6 Zi, and HDO9000 family
instruments are supported using Teledyne LeCroy's
LBUS interface. Or connect the HDA125 to the LabMaster
family of modular oscilloscopes using the ChannelSync
interface to create the highest-bandwidth mixed signal
solutions available.

THE MOST ADVANCED DDR ANALYSIS
Command Bus Capture for
Full Interface Visibility
Basic debugging and validation of embedded DDR
interfaces typically involves analysis of the analog
properties of the clock, data (DQ) and strobe (DQS) signals
- and Teledyne LeCroy’s DDR analysis tools are established
industry leaders in this application. But when validation
tasks become more complex and problems require deeper
insight, the ability to trigger on, acquire and visualize the
state of the DDR command bus is invaluable. The HDA125
brings command bus acquisition to Teledyne LeCroy’s
already comprehensive toolset, providing the ultimate in
memory bus analysis capability.
Analyze Bus Activity
The HDA125 enables the unique “bus view” feature of
the DDR Debug Toolkit, which brings Teledyne LeCroy’s
advanced bus analysis feature set to bear on DDR analysis.
View bus activity in tabular form, and move time-correlated
views to a desired event with the touch of a button. Search
for specific events and bus states within the acquired
record. Intuitive color overlays and annotations make it
easy to identify areas of interest in the acquired analog
waveforms.
Trigger on DDR Commands
The ability to trigger on specific states of the command
bus becomes an invaluable tool for quick understanding of
DDR signal quality. The HDA125’s logic triggering combines
with the DDR Debug Toolkit's intuitive setup and intelligent
software cross-triggering to provide the ultimate DDR
triggering system. Persistence maps of read and write
bursts provide an easy and fast means of identifying subtle
signal-quality problems for further investigation.
