If you work with both analog and

digital components, Agilent

Technologies 54620-Series

oscilloscopes can help you easily

see more of what's going on in your

designs. The unique 2+16-channel

mixed signal oscilloscope (MSO)

models and the traditional 2- and

4-channel models are optimized with

just the capabilities you need for veri-

fying and debugging designs that

include A/Ds, D/As, DSPs and

embedded 8- or 16-bit microcon-

trollers. These scopes give you the

tools you need to solve your mixed

analog and digital engineering

challenges more easily.

What makes these scopes so ideal

for mixed analog and digital analy-

sis? The 54620-series scopes com-

bine three critical features:

• 2 MB of MegaZoom deep memory

on each channel so you can capture

long, non-repeating signals,

maintain high sample rate and

quickly zoom in on areas of interest

• a revolutionary ultra-responsive,

high-definition display that's a

clearer "window into your

world" – it lets you see more signal

detail than ever before

• flexible triggering that lets you

easily isolate and analyze the

complex signals and fault

conditions common in mixed analog

and digital designs.

This combination of capabilities is

tailored to give you the measurement

power you need to get your mixed

analog and digital job done faster.

At Agilent Technologies, we focus

on developing products that help

you do your job better. That's why

54620-Series scopes are optimized for

your needs and why they come in a

variety of configurations. Choose the

one that's right for your application

and your budget.

2 + 16-Channel Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO)

The Mixed Signal scopes

(models 54621D and 54622D):

The 60- and 100-MHz mixed signal

oscilloscopes (MSO), with 2 analog

channels and 16 digital channels,

uniquely combine the detailed signal

analysis of a scope with the multi-

channel timing measurements of a

logic analyzer. They let you see the

complex interactions among your

signals on up to 18 channels at the

same time. No more guesswork and no

more poking around to see a few

channels at a time. These scopes can

easily conquer mixed analog and

digital debugging problems that a

traditional scope can't begin to

address, because they let you simulta-

neously test and monitor the

high-speed digital control signals and

the slower analog signals in your

design. The combination of analog

channels, digital timing channels and

MegaZoom deep memory with

triggering across all 18 channels

provides totally new ways to debug

mixed analog and digital 8- or 16-bit

microcontroller-based designs. Plus,

the MSOs are built on the same scope

foundation as the other 54620 models,

so they look and feel like a familiar

scope.

4-channel scope (model 54624A):

If your designs include heavy analog

content, the 100-MHz 54624A will give

you the channel count and measure-

ment power you need, including

MegaZoom deep memory, high-

definition display and flexible trigger-

ing. Whether you're testing designs

with four inputs, such as anti-lock

brakes, or monitoring multiple

outputs of a power supply, the

4-channel model helps you get your

debug and verification done with ease.

2-channel scopes

(models 54621A and 54622A):

The two-channel models bring all the

benefits of MegaZoom deep memory,

high-definition display, and flexible

triggering to those value-minded

designers with lower channel

requirements. Available in both 60-

and 100-MHz models, they give you an

affordable way to see long time peri-

ods while maintaining high sample

rate so you can see details in your

designs.

MegaZoom Deep Memory

With 2 MB of MegaZoom deep memory

behind every channel, 54620-Series

scopes give you deep-memory capture

without the sluggish response and

complex operation you’ve had to

tolerate with other deep-memory

scopes. And unlike the alternatives,

MegaZoom deep memory is not a

special mode; it operates with the

same familiar controls you use for

regular scope measurements. That

means it's always available to help you

do a better job finding details buried

in complex signals, discovering

anomalies in the absence of good trig-

ger events, correlating high-speed

digital control signals with slower

analog signals and capturing infre-

quent events.

The dilemma of having to trigger twice

to get a long time capture or to see

detailed resolution is solved with

MegaZoom deep memory as you can

have both with a single measurement.

Deep memory means that the sample

rate can be kept high even when

capturing long time periods. You’ll

have a hard time finding another

scope that easily lets you collect 10

milliseconds of data with the ability to

see 5 nanosecond details like you can

with MegaZoom deep memory.

Thanks to multiple processors

optimized for the task of signal

acquisition, storage and display, the

new 54620-Series scopes are the only

deep-memory scopes that respond

instantly to your control inputs, and

have fast, responsive displays and

easy-to-use pan and zoom. Compare

them to other scopes in this price

range – only the 54620-Series gives

you long time capture and detailed

resolution with fast, easy MegaZoom

pan and zoom.

Revolutionary high-definition

display

When you combine MegaZoom deep

memory with a patented high-

definition display system, you get an

accurate and responsive "window into

your world". The MegaZoom deep

memory is mapped into 32 levels of

intensity on a display which has

superior horizontal resolution. And

because the screen update rate is

more than 25 times faster than typical

digital scopes, you get a responsive

display that reflects changes in your

waveform instantaneously – so you

see a more realistic representation of

your signals.

This revolutionary design gives you

more insight into your designs than

ever before. With deep memory and a

high-definition display system, there

is less chance to miss a narrow

occasional transient, less chance to

miss a glitch or distorted edge that

impacts circuit operation, and less

chance to miss all those subtle details

that can take weeks to find with a tra-

ditional scope.

The bright dot on the

high definition display

is a distortion in 1 of

the 1,500 pulses cap-

tured in this single

shot measurement.

Simply dial in for a

closer look using

MegaZoom pan and

zoom, and you’ll see

the details that would

have escaped other

scopes, such as the

distortion in this

square wave.

This deep memory

and display system is

not a complex special

mode, either. It is

available on every

measurement pass

at full speed.

Flexible triggering

With mixed analog and digital designs,

sometimes it is hard to trace an

anomaly back to its root cause unless

you can trigger on it and correlate it

with another signal. With the 54620-

Series scopes, triggering is no longer a

hassle. They come with flexible

triggering capabilities (edge, pulse

width, pattern, TV, sequence, I2C and

duration) across all channels so you

can easily isolate and analyze complex

signals and interactions common in

your mixed analog and digital designs.

If you are working with micro-con-

trollers that use I2C serial communica-

tions, you'll be glad to discover that

54620-Series scopes help you fine-tune

your debugging. Use I2C trigger mode

to first help verify your inter-IC

communication handshaking. Then

you can use the I2C trigger to ensure

that the correct data is being

transmitted to the desired device.
