The LeCroy PP092 is a sampling adapter that extends the acquisition capability of compatible LeCroy oscilloscopes by enabling higher-speed single-channel data capture. The adapter gangs multiple analog-to-digital converters and applies digital interleaving to achieve 2 GS/s sampling on a single channel, while maintaining 500 MHz analog bandwidth across the measurement path.
Technical Specifications
• Sampling Rate: 2 GS/s (single-channel acquisition)
• Analog Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Input Impedance: 50 ohms
• Connectors: BNC input/output
• Internal Architecture: Microstrip delay line, 3-way power splitter, EEPROM for oscilloscope configuration
– Key Features
• Single-channel 2 GS/s data acquisition through multi-ADC aggregation and digital interleaving
• 50-ohm matched input termination for signal integrity
• Integrated EEPROM allows automatic configuration detection by compatible scope firmware
• Precision microstrip delay matching ensures proper interleaved sample alignment
• Power distribution via internal 3-way splitter accommodates multiple ADC paths
– Typical Applications
The PP092 serves applications requiring higher temporal resolution on a single channel while operating within the 500 MHz bandwidth constraint. Common uses include transient capture, high-speed serial protocol analysis, and time-domain characterization where dual-channel operation is not required but sampling density is critical.
– Compatibility & Integration
• Compatible Oscilloscopes: LeCroy 9354 Series, LeCroy LC334A
• The adapter integrates directly with instrument firmware through EEPROM-based configuration
• BNC connectors provide standard RF/analog connectivity
• Adapter model selection depends on specific oscilloscope model; verify compatibility before ordering
