iC227

DUAL 11 GHz SAMPLING OSCILLOSCOPE

Rev B1, Page 2/22

DESCRIPTION

The iC227 is an 11 GHz bandwidth Sequential Sam-

pling Oscilloscope.

The 4 SMA inputs and 2 SMA outputs all have 50 Ω

impedance and are DC coupled.

The small, portable hardware package connects to a

PC via an optically isolated full speed USB interface

for PC protection and eliminates effects of noise from

the USB bus and PC ground.

All device control and monitoring is managed via an

intuitive graphical PC software interface. The use of

small package high speed ECL components allows

extremely wide bandwidth and highly accurate self

calibrated time base with 1 ps resolution.

This low cost, easy to use device is a perfect solu-

tion for engineers and technicians alike who need to

measure amplitude, rise time, fall time, propagation

delay and much more in high speed analog and digi-

tal circuit.

iC227 will work with repetitive signals only, since

it requires multiple signal repetitions to complete

the conversion.

When 2 channels are used, there must be some

fixed timing correlation between these channels

in order for sampling to be an accurate represen-

tation of the real event.

If the frequency on 2 channels is different but

there is a clear timing correlation or synchroniza-

tion, then the channel with the lower frequency

should be used as trigger source.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

After calibration. Designed and tested for laboratory environment with temperature 20 to 25 °C. Aluminum enclosure is used as heat sink

and will warm to about 10 °C above ambient temperature.
