Debugging consumer electronics with a high-accuracy oscilloscope

Achieving high-quality consumer electronics performance requires debugging small signals, isolating rare glitches, and analyzing serial buses. New technologies, such as portable consumer devices that rely on high-speed networks, low noise, and low power consumption, challenge engineers to identify subtle issues that could affect performance. Achieving high-vertical-accuracy measurements to distinguish between small signals, enhance error detection, and isolate signal glitches requires an oscilloscope with a high-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a low noise floor, and a fast waveform update rate.

A high-accuracy oscilloscope resolves signals to finer voltage levels and minimizes noise injected into your signal measurement, creating a more precise representation of the signal. A fast waveform update rate is essential to isolate rare signal glitches that might go unnoticed. Additionally, an oscilloscope with a built-in protocol analyzer is an invaluable tool for quickly debugging embedded serial buses. Oscilloscope software for serial protocol analysis of embedded serial buses frequently found in consumer electronics, such as I2C, SPI, and UART, helps streamline the debugging process.

Achieving quality consumer electronics performance requires debugging and resolving small signals and rare glitches with an oscilloscope. The Keysight InfiniiVision HD3 Series oscilloscope has a custom ASIC and 14-bit ADC. It delivers four times the signal resolution and half the noise floor of other general-purpose oscilloscopes. Use the update rate of 1.3 M waveforms per second to quickly isolate signal glitches. Embedded analysis software automatically triggers and decodes serial buses, including I2C, SPI, and UART.
