Behind the performance

The Tektronix-designed TEK049 ASIC contains 12-bit analog-to-digital

converters (ADCs) that provide 16 times more resolution than traditional 8-

bit ADCs. The TEK049 is paired with the new Tektronix TEK061 front-end

amplifier with industry leading low noise that enables the best signal fidelity

possible to capture small signals with high resolution.

Lowest in class noise enabled by new front-end amplifier

A key attribute to being able to view fine signal details on small, high-speed

signals is noise. The higher a measurement systems' intrinsic noise, the

less actual signal detail will be visible. This becomes more critical on a

digitizer when the vertical settings are set to high sensitivity (like ≤ 10 mV/

div) to view small signals that are prevalent in high-speed bus topologies.

The 6 Series Low Profile has a new front-end ASIC, the TEK061, that

enables breakthrough noise performance at the highest sensitivity settings.

In addition, a new High Res mode applies a hardware-based unique Finite

Impulse Response (FIR) filter based on the selected sample rate. The FIR

filter maintains the maximum bandwidth possible for that sample rate while

preventing aliasing and removing noise from the digitizer amplifiers and

ADC above the usable bandwidth for the selected sample rate. High Res

mode always provides at least 12 bits of vertical resolution and extends all

the way to 16 bits of vertical resolution at ≤ 625 MS/s sample rates and

200 MHz of bandwidth.

Remote control made easy

Programming the 6 Series Low Profile Digitizer in a test rack for easy remote control has

never been easier.

Automated test equipment and multichannel systems require robust

programming capability and are often subject to rack-space constraints

and/or speed restraints. The 6 Series Low Profile Digitizer packs 4 high

performance 25 GS/s channels into just 2 rack units and comes ready to

mount in a rack. Each input can work as a precision analog channel and/or

Spectrum channel with multiple remote interfaces that can be transferred

over 1000Base-T Ethernet or Super Speed USB 3.0 ports to your local PC

for further analysis. With the wide range of programming language support

and GitHub repository, there are many ways to easily integrate your new

digitizer into a test rack.

Key remote access features include:

2 rack units high (3.5 inches) with rackmount attached

Easy web browser remote access and control

LXI 1.5 certified (VXI-11)

Ethernet and USB 3.0 (USBTMC) device port with up to 800 Mbps

transfer rate
