Keysight Technologies Expands its AXIe Wideband Digital Receivers’ On-Board, Real-Time, Signal Processing Capability

SANTA ROSA, Calif., Oct. 14, 2015 – Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) today introduced an enhanced signal processing configuration for its M9703B 12-bit AXIe high-speed digitizer/wideband digital receiver. System architects and engineers can use this new bundle option, which is ideal for OEM and aerospace & defense applications, as a component of a larger system requiring extensive FPGA capabilities and a high number of customizable real-time IO interfaces. 

The M9703B-B01 bundle comes pre-configured with the following available options:

  • 1 GS/s sampling rate (-SR1)
  • Input frequency DC to 650 MHz (-F05)
  • Large FPGA (-SX3)
  • Large acquisition memory (-M16)
  • Triggered simultaneous acquisition and readout (-TSR)
  • Custom firmware capability (-FDK)
  • New IO-EXT interposer mezzanine providing a total of 192 input/output (I/Os) 

The U5340A FPGA Development Kit, a standalone software package, allows system architects and engineers to implement their own complex algorithm on-board the M9703B high-speed digitizer as well as to address the I/O to monitor and control their OEM system.

“Thanks to an unprecedented combination of 192 digital I/Os, eight high-speed, 12-bit analog input channels and a scalable open FPGA architecture, the new M9703B-B01 product provides the most versatile and customizable AXIe digitizer platform solution in a compact 1U form factor,” said Pierre-François Maistre, Keysight Communication Measurement Solutions R&D project manager. “By providing wideband solutions that support advanced signal capture, Keysight aims to address more complex challenges in a large variety of aerospace & defense applications that require the treatment of a high amount of data and the control of very large systems.” 

Price and Availability

The new B01 bundle option is available now for the M9703B AXIe 12-bit high-speed digitizer/wideband digital receiver. Please contact digitizers@keysight.com for more information.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
