The Teledyne LeCroy SDA3000A is a 4-channel serial data analyzer built for signal integrity testing and debugging of high-speed serial links across advanced communication protocols. It delivers 3 GHz bandwidth with maximum single-shot sampling to 20 GS/s, expanding to 200 GS/s via Random Interleaved Sampling for repetitive signals. The instrument captures up to 4 Mpts/channel in 4-channel mode, scaling to 16 Mpts/channel in 2-channel operation, with XXL variants providing 100 Mpts/channel. A 150 ps rise time and 50 Ω input impedance enable precise measurements across serial data standards. SMART Triggers support state and edge qualification, plus serial data pattern triggering up to 1.5 Gbits/sec (2.7 Gbits/sec with upgrades). Maximum trigger rate reaches 150,000 waveforms/second in Sequence Mode. Selectable bandwidth limiters (20 MHz, 200 MHz, 1 GHz, 3 GHz) reduce noise without sacrificing capture speed. The touch-screen SVGA display, paired with Ethernet, USB, and parallel connectivity, simplifies setup and data transfer. ProLink SMA and BNC adapters enable flexible signal coupling. Input voltage rating of ±4 Vpeak and DC/GND coupling support diverse test environments.
