6
True-analog bandwidth- 33 GHz
The engineering of a high-performance real-time oscilloscope
front end requires designing pre-amplifiers, triggering
capability, and sampling technology, then seamlessly tying
them together. Using fine line microcircuit processes and
relying extensively on years of experience with RF design,
Agilent developed the front end multi-chip modules shown
here for the Infiniium 90000 X-Series oscilloscopes. Packaging
technology provides excellent high-frequency electrical
properties along with superior heat dissipation. It is a key
enabling technology block in Agilent’s 90000 X-Series’ high
measurement accuracy.
Engineered for 33 GHz true analog bandwidth that delivers:
The Oscilloscope: highest real-time scope measurement accuracy
Whether you’re deploying emerging high speed bus
technology, identifying spectral content of wide-bandwidth
RF signals, or analyzing transient physical phenomena, you
need the truest representation of your signals under test.
Agilent invested in leading edge technology to bring you
the highest real-time oscilloscope measurement accuracy
available today.
Custom integrated circuits using a proprietary Indium
Phosphide (InP) process and breakthrough packaging
technology enable industry-leading performance, including
the:
• Up to 33 GHz of true analog bandwidth
• Lowest oscilloscope noise floor
• Lowest oscilloscope jitter measurement floor
Low noise floor
One of the keys to measurement accuracy at high
bandwidths is minimizing the noise generated
by the oscilloscope itself. Agilent utilizes a
proprietary Indium Phosphide (InP) integrated
circuit process in the design of the Infiniium 90000
X-Series oscilloscopes because other oscilloscope
techniques just can’t deliver the necessary
combination of high-bandwidth and low noise. Not
only does that mean you’re purchasing the best
tool today, but it also means you can count on
technology leadership from Agilent in the future.

Better calibration improves spectral purity
Agilent oscilloscopes are constantly improving
their measurement accuracy. The latest
innovation is a new, improved calibration routine
that better aligns the sample points of the
analog to digital converter.
The improved calibration results in higher
spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) and
effective number of bits (ENOB). For instance,
the SFDR is improved by as much as 15 dBC
depending on the carrier frequency. The
higher SFDR is ideal for making RF and optical
measurements where spectral purity is of the
utmost importance. Improved SFDR and ENOB
also means better jitter performance.
Ultimately this means the 90000 X-Series now
features the highest SFDR and ENOB of any
oscilloscope on the market.
Low real-time oscilloscope jitter measurement floor,
just got lower (now 100 fs)
Oscilloscope bandwidth allows signal rise times to be
more accurately depicted. The oscilloscope noise floor
directly impacts the y-axis voltage placement of each signal
data point. The Infiniium 90000 X-Series scopes combine
superiority in these characteristics with extremely low
sample clock jitter (< 100 femptoseconds). This ensures the
lowest possible contribution to jitter measurements from
the scope itself so you’re using your jitter budget on your
design.
In addition to its low jitter measurement floor, the 90000
X-Series has the industry’s deepest memory with up
to 2 Gpts, allowing you to resolve low frequency jitter
components in a single measurement.
The 90000 X-Series now features an even more advanced
calibration system known as sine wave cal. This sine wave
calibration further lowers spurs caused by ADC interleaving
errors and enables lower jitter and higher spurious free
dynamic range. Sine wave calibration simply builds on its
industry leading accuracy.
Jitter measurement floor of less than 100 fs
Improved calibration improves the spurious free dynamic rang by up to
15 dBc

Engineered for 33 GHz true analog bandwidth that delivers:
A mixed signal oscilloscope integrates traditional
analog channels with 16 digital channels
In 1996, Agilent pioneered the mixed signal oscilloscope
Innovative IC technology we called ‘MegaZoom,’ which
delivered highly responsive deep memory so designers can
see both cause and effect in digitally controlled analog
phenomena. The first MSO was named Test & Measurement
World Test Product of the Year in 1997.
Agilent MSOs seamlessly integrate the familiar controls of
an oscilloscope with the additional digital data collection
and pattern recognition of a logic analyzer. You can trigger
across any combination of analog and digital channels;
integrate serial bus triggering and decode and even see
inside your FPGA designs.
Agilent continues to lead the way with MSOs
The MSO 90000 X-Series is specifically targeted at the
DDR2/3/4 technologies, simplifying the complicated task
of debugging memory technologies. The 20 GSa/s on 8
channels means you can easily separate reads and writes
on all DDR4 speeds. The MSO 90000 X-Series is fully
compatible with Agilent 90-pin logic analysis connectors,
making it easy to connect to your devices.
Combining analog and digital performance
Today’s designs require access to complex triggers and
multiple instruments. The 90000 X-Series mixed signal
oscilloscopes provide up to 20 channels you can use at
once. Each channel can be combined in a unique pattern
trigger. The 90000 X-Series has the ability to label each
individual channel as part of a bus for decoding, saving
hours of manual work.
The 90000 X-Series also features application-specific decode
applications that are designed for up to 20 channels. These
applications include many low-speed serial and parallel
busses. For instance, the JTAG protocol decode is available
only on Agilent oscilloscopes.

Industry’s only bandwidth
upgradable probes
Purchase the probing performance
you need today with confidence that
you have headroom for the future with
Agilent’s InfiniiMax III bandwidth-
upgradable probes. Upgrade to higher
performance at a fraction of the cost of
probe bandwidth upgrades.
The InfiniiMax III probing system uses the same InP technology that enables high
bandwidth and low noise oscilloscope measurements.
Fully-integrated probe amplifier s-parameter correction
Each InfiniiMax III probe amplifier comes pre-packaged with
its own customized characteristics via s-parameter files.
The InfiniiMax III probing system and the 90000 X-Series
communicate via an I²C bus. This communication allows the
90000 X-Series to download the customized s-parameter files
from the InfiniiMax III probing amplifier to the scope for greater
accuracy.
To take advantage of your investment in a high-bandwidth
oscilloscope, you must have a probing system that can
deliver bandwidth to the probe tip. Agilent rises to the
challenge of high-speed signal reproduction with these
probing innovations:
• The industry’s first bandwidth upgradable probe
amplifier
• Fully-integrated probe amplifier s-parameter correction
The InfiniiMax III 30 GHz probing system includes accessories to enable probing with a ZIF tip, browsing, or connecting to 3.5 mm inputs.

Analysis tools: PrecisionProbe (option 001)
Turn your 90000 X-Series oscilloscope into a time-domain transmissometry (TDT) and
quickly characterize and compensate any input into your scope.
PrecisionProbe technology turns
your oscilloscope into the ultimate
characterization tool. Not only can you
do the normal de-embedding through
InfiniiSim, PrecisionProbe allows quick
characterization of your entire probe
system (including cables and switches)
without the need for extra equipment.
PrecisionProbe takes advantage of the
fast “cal output” signal on the 90000
X-Series to characterize and compen-
sate for loss on the measurement
system.
PrecisionProbe technology:
• Properly creates custom probe
transfer function =VOut / VIn
• Properly characterizes probed
system transfer function such that
VOut / VInc = VOut / VSrc
• Removes unwanted S21 cable
insertion loss

8 GT/s_16 GHz_P7 96.92 106.01 9.4%
8 GT/s_16 GHz_P8 100.24 108.24 8.0%
By characterizing and compensating for cable loss on the cable connected to the PCI
Express test fixture, the designer was able to gain between 6.5% and 13.6% margin
that would have been lost otherwise.
Now every probe and cable in the system
can have the exact same frequency
response – probe to probe or cable to
cable – without measurement variation
caused by probe variation. Now you can
properly characterize custom probes.
In addition to characterizing the cables,
PrecisionProbe allows for immediate use
on the same instrument. PrecisionProbe
saves you time and money while increas-
ing your measurement accuracy.
When you combine InfiniiMax probes
with switches between the amplifier and
the probe head, PrecisionProbe allows
for full correction and automation of
each probe’s path. Full automation is
then available to allow for quick swap-
ping of the inputs via Infiniium’s compli-
ance framework. For increased accuracy,
purchase PrecisionProbe Advanced for
faster edge speeds and true differential
measurements.
Agilent’s uses Indium Phosphide to
procuce a sub 12 ps edge perfect for
characterizing cable and probe frequency
response

Analysis tools: EZJIT, EZJIT + and SDA (standard on DSA models)
Gain insight into the causes of signal jitter to ensure high reliability of your design
With faster edge speeds and shrinking
data-valid windows in today’s high-
speed digital designs, insight into the
causes of jitter has become critical for
success. Using EZJIT and EZJIT + jitter
analysis software the 90000 X-Series
oscilloscopes help you identify and
Measurement trends and jitter spectrum
EZJIT’s simple tools help you quickly analyze the causes of
jitter. Measurement trends allow you to see deeper views
of factors affecting measurements. Jitter spectrum is a fast
method to find the causes of jitter.
Two ways to separate jitter
EZJIT + comes with two ways to separate jitter: the industry
standard spectral method and the emerging tail-fit method.
Both methods allow for simple separation of RJ and DJ, but
the tail-fit method provides jitter separation in the unique case
of non-symmetrical histograms and aperiodic bounded uncor-
related jitter.
Unique RJ/DJ threshold view
EZJIT + also provides a unique spectral view of the jitter
spectrum with the threshold drawn on the chart. The spectral
view provides insight into the decision point of the separation
and allows for narrow or wide, tail-fit or Dual-Dirac.
Real-time eye and clock recovery
Serial data analysis (SDA) software provides flexible clock
recovery including 1st and 2nd-order PLL and constant
algorithms. With a stable clock, you can look at real-time eyes
of transition and non-transition bits. 90000 X-Series scopes
with SDA software also provide a new unique view of bits
preceding an eye.
Tools to determine the correct settings
SDA, EZJIT, and EZJIT+ come with an array of visual tools to
make analyzing the data simple and ensure that the correct
settings are chosen for difficult design decisions. For example,
the improved bathtub curve (see image to the left)
allows an easy visual tool to determine which jitter separation
method best fits the data.
quantify jitter components that affect the
reliability of your design. Time correlation
of jitter to the real-time signal makes it
easy to trace jitter components to their
sources. Additional compliance views
and a measurement setup wizard simplify
and automate RJ/DJ separation for test-
ing against industry standards.
EZJIT Plus automatically detects
embedded clock frequencies and
repetitive data patterns on the oscil-
loscope inputs and calculates the level
of data-dependent jitter (DDJ) that is
contributed to the total jitter (TJ) PDF
by each transition in the pattern, a
feature not available on any other real-
time oscilloscope today.

Analysis tools: EZJIT Complete (standard on DSA models)
Discover signal anomalies to the noise of the waveform
More than your standard jitter
package
In order to efficiently determine
root cause for any type of signal
degradation in the amplitude domain,
you must first determine whether
the problem is caused by random
or deterministic sources. In order to
help you accomplish this task, EZJIT
Complete takes analysis techniques
used in the time domain (jitter
analysis) and extends them into the
amplitude domain.
More than just an eye contour
EZJIT Complete is an in-depth view into
impairments related to signal levels –
either logic ones or logic zeroes – deviat-
ing from their ideal positions. Some tools
simply provide a view of an eye contour,
but provide no real measurement data
other than nice graphics.
EZJIT Complete uses separation
techniques to allow each bit to be
examined to determine correlated effects
and to make multiple measurements
on individual bits to determine uncor-
related effects. Use FFTs to analyze the
frequency domain and extract random
components. Dual-Dirac modeling
techniques are also carried from
the jitter domain and used in the
interference domain.
Key measurements
With EZJIT Complete, 90000
X-Series scopes offer the following
unique measurements:
• Total interference (TI)
• Deterministic interference (DI)
• Random noise (RN)
• Periodic interference (PI)
• Inter-symbol interference (ISI)
• RIN (dBm or dB/Hz)
• Q-factor

pensate for loading of probes and other circuit elements, and do so simply and quickly on your tool of choice, the 90000 X-Series
at up to 33 GHz of bandwidth.
Circuit models to define your
setup
The InfiniiSim waveform transforma-
tion toolset provides a graphical
user interface for you to define your
system as you understand it and even
make it arbitrarily complex. You do
this by selecting topologies and defin-
ing circuit blocks.

formation toolset, you can transform
signals with confidence, whether you
are inserting or removing channel ele-
ments or relocating the measurement
plane. InfiniiSim’s advanced toolset
lets you model up to 27 different ele-
ments at once and model the interac-
tion between elements. Only toolsets
with the ability to model more than
one element will properly reflect a
model including the oscilloscope’s
input. The 90000 X-Series scopes
provide their own s11 parameter to
allow modeling of their own input.
Model your system with as
much detail as you need
InfiniiSim features the model setup
that best matches your design.
Whether it is a simple single-element
model or an advanced general-purpose
model with up to 27 elements in the
link, you can perfectly model your
design and simulate the exact probing
point you want.

equalization (FFE), and continuous-
time linear equalization (CTLE) model-
ing in real time. Serial data equaliza-
tion software allows you to input
your own self-designated tap values
to verify your design. If you prefer,
the software will find the optimal tap
values for you. CTLE allows DC gain
and two-pole modeling.
InfiniiScan software allows you to use an
oscilloscope to identify signal integrity
issues that hardware triggering is unable
to find in your electronic designs. This
innovative software scans through thou-
sands of acquired waveforms per second
to help you isolate signal anomalies,

ance applications save you time and money with measure-
ment automation built into the compliance application. No
longer do valuable resources need to be exclusively tied to
writing automation software – instead they can be deployed
to designing the next big project.
Compliance applications that run on 90000 X-Series oscillo-
scopes are certified to test to the exact specifications of each
technology standard. If a test passes on the 90000 X-Series
scope in your lab, you can be assured that it will pass in
test labs and at plug fests worldwide. Agilent experts on
technology boards and industry standards committees help
define compliance requirements. As a result, you can be
sure that 90000 X-Series oscilloscope tools deliver to critical
specifications. Setup wizards combined with intelligent test
filtering give you confidence you’re running the right tests.
Comprehensive HTML reports with visual documentation
and pass/fail results guarantee that critical information is
retained on each test.
Quick and easy automated switching
Only Agilent’s 90000 X-Series oscilloscopes feature compli-
ance applications with both the user-defined application’s
add-in capability and integrated PrecisionProbe compensa-
tion. Switch paths can vary in their characteristics and have
unwanted loss. By enabling PrecisionProbe in its compliance
applications, 90000 X-Series scopes allow you to characterize
and compensate for every path in the switch, making every
path’s frequency response identical in both magnitude and
phase. These tools makes switch automation quick and
painless. The 90000 X-Series and its compliance applications
make automation more automated than ever. Your technicians
no longer need to spend valuable time physically changing
connections.

Compliance and automation testing: Switch matrix support
Comprehensive testing, eastily achieved
Eliminate reconnections (reducing errors)
Compliance applications on Agilent’s 90000 X-Series now
support a switch matrix, making testing simple by automating
test for each lane of a multi-lane bus. Typical testing requires
reconnecting the oscilloscope each time that you switch a
lane, which causes wasted time and inaccuracies. The 90000
X-Series solves this problem by supporting switch matrix
through its compliance test. Simply connect the switch to the
oscilloscope and all the lanes, and then hit run to complete
full testing of your entire device.
Maintain accuracy
The framework fully supports Agilent’s PrecisionProbe soft-
ware (N2809A) and InfiniiSim software (N5465A). This gives
you the ability to characterize every switch path to the device
under test (both magnitude and skew) and ensure that all of
them maintain the same level of accuracy.
Customize your testing
Use the remote programming interface (standard feature on
the 90000 X-Series) and N5467A user-defined application for
device control, instrument control and test customization.
Skews between switch paths are easily maintained with Agilent’s
unique software

Compliance and automation testing: User-defined application (option 040)
Custom automation for your 90000 X-Series oscilloscope
The user-defined application is the
only fully-customizable automated
environment made for an oscilloscope
by an oscilloscope designer. It provides
full automation, including the ability
to control other Agilent instruments,
external applications such as MATLAB
and your DUT software.
Simplify your automation
The user-defined application (UDA)
makes automation simple. The appli-
cation takes the Infiniium compliance
application framework and gives you
full access to its interface. UDA allows
for automation testing in as little as
one minute. Use UDA to control other
Agilent instruments such as signal
generators and network analyzers to
create a full suite of measurements.
Full measurement report
No automation would be complete
without a simple-to-view and easy-
to-understand report. UDA provides a
full report of the pass/fail criteria you
have provided.
Add-in capability
Ever wanted to add testing to your
compliance applications? All Infiniium
compliance applications support the
industry’s most flexible testing mecha-
nism with UDA add-in capability.
Create the custom testing you need
and then plug it into your compliance
application to expand the application
to your testing needs. UDA add-in
capability is only available on Infiniium
oscilloscopes.
PrecisionProbe and switch
compatibility
UDA makes automation of switches
in your system simple and accurate.
Use PrecisionProbe to characterize the
path of the switch and then let UDA’s
unique GUI switch between every input
in your switch system. Every input can
look identical in its frequency response
thanks to this advanced technology.
