With the continuous advancement of technologies such as 5G, IoT, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, the ICT industry is ushering in unprecedented development opportunities. In this context, the importance of digital oscilloscopes is increasingly prominent. As a key testing instrument for observing, analyzing, or recording the behavior of electrical signals, it plays an important role in research and development, verification, quality assurance, troubleshooting, and debugging processes. As designs become increasingly complex and signals become smaller, testing becomes more difficult, thus placing higher demands on the new generation of digital oscilloscopes.
Recently, Shide Technology launched the 14 bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) oscilloscope InfiniiVision HD3 series, which has a signal resolution more than four times that of other general-purpose oscilloscopes and a background noise of less than half of the latter. The InfiniiVision HD3 series has been redesigned with custom application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and deep memory architecture, enabling engineers to quickly detect and debug signal issues in various applications.
Universal oscilloscopes introduce high-end technology, allowing precision portability
Mr. Zhu Huapeng, Business Development Manager for Digital and Optical Products in the Asia Pacific region of Shide Technology, introduced that the design of equipment and components is becoming increasingly complex, and the signals used are also becoming smaller and smaller. In order to ensure product quality and maximize production, engineers must troubleshoot designs by simultaneously tracking multiple signals, thereby identifying the minimum signal errors that characterize design and hardware defects. Therefore, engineers need an oscilloscope that can eliminate the influence of noise and measure small and rare signal faults to correct product issues.

The new InfiniiVision HD3 series oscilloscope from DeTech provides digital designers and engineers with high vertical resolution through advanced 14 bit ADC and extremely low background noise (detecting small signal anomalies) of 50 µ VRMS, thus meeting this challenge.
The 14 bit ADC is a major highlight of the InfiniiVision HD3 series, with a 4-fold increase in vertical accuracy compared to the mainstream 12 bit ADCs on the market today. At the same time, the background noise is below 50 µ V (previous oscilloscopes were mostly in the hundreds of microvolts), with a maximum storage depth of 100 Mpts (25 times the storage capacity of the previous 3000G series), and a waveform update rate of up to 1.3 million times per second. It is precisely the above core features that enable all measurements to be quickly and accurately debugged.
Zhu Huapeng stated that the core of portable precision equipment is high precision, vertical resolution, and control of background noise. Compared to general-purpose chips, customized ASIC chips are more suitable for the operation and data processing speed required by oscilloscopes. The InfiniiVision HD3 series meets the needs of high-speed electronic testing by using customized ASIC chips to process and display waveforms faster.
It is understood that the new ASIC chip not only integrates memory and data processing, but also ADC and triggering technology, improving integration and providing engineers with high sampling rate and memory, lossless waveform update rate, high vertical resolution, and hardware based functions (such as mask, region, and serial decoding) under typical testing conditions, thereby achieving higher speed and waveform capture rate.
