VRPW-10-50 Building the World's Fastest Real Time Oscilloscope

A Front Range Signal Integrity Lecture, presented by Dave Graef, VP of Engineering and CTO of Teledyne LeCroy 

Recorded Live, Dec 5, 2013, Longmont, CO

Dave’s team at Teledyne LeCroy developed the world’s fastest data acquisition rate real time scope, just recently announced in July 2013. It can sample at 240 Giga samples per second at 8 bit resolution, with a channel path to the ADC of 100 GHz bandwidth.

Dave talks about some of the engineering challenges that had to be overcome to design the channel path which includes a coaxial connector right on the ceramic package that connects directly to the die. 

Getting the sample rate so high required leveraging all the technologies currently used in the highest end Teledyne LeCroy scopes, and inventing a few new ones.

He shows a recording of the demonstration of the world's fastest scope, made at the Teledyne Science Center in Thousand Oaks, CA and the Teledyne LeCroy team which implemented this design. In addition to building the first scope, the team also had to figure out how to test the world’s fastest real time scope.
