Linköping, Sweden, Boston, MA – March 16, 2011 - SP Devices, a world-leading provider of signal processing technology for analog-to-digital conversion and high-speed digitizers, today announced its collaboration with LeCroy Corporation on two new oscilloscope models. Through the collaboration, LeCroy’s 400 MHz and 600 MHz WaveRunner HRO (High-Resolution Oscilloscope) models utilize SP Devices FPGA content. The new oscilloscopes contain technology that can also be found in SP Devices’ high-speed digitizer products.
“LeCroy is recognized as a provider of world-class oscilloscopes and SP Devices is known as having world-class ADC signal processing and digitizer technology,” said Ed King, VP & GM, SP Devices Inc. “The combination of SP Devices’ technology with LeCroy’s highperformance oscilloscope technology has led to breakthroughs in performance.”
“Through our collaboration with a design team from SP Devices, LeCroy has become the first oscilloscope supplier to launch a 12-bit oscilloscope into the very important mid-range of the market,” said David Graef, CTO of LeCroy. “With this approach we are able to meet future customer requirements of higher resolution and accuracy while maintaining our industry-leading performance.”
The new models will feature 400 MHz and 600 MHz bandwidths with an unprecedented resolution of 12 bits of vertical resolution. These WaveRunner HROs provide industry-first high-resolution tools for customers requiring high dynamic range and precision measurements and will be available for demonstration and customer shipment in May 2011.
