White Papers
Engineers of the past typically chose oscilloscopes based on technical factors such as bandwidth, rise time, signal-to-noise ratio, sampling modes, probing, and positioning. With the proliferation of new and complex technologies, engineers are getting a lot more future-ready. Decision-making now takes into consideration the rapidly evolving needs of test instruments. When it comes to oscilloscopes, bandwidth and channel density are the two major comparison points that engineers are making, with good reason. That reason goes back more than 50 years.
Moore’s Law
In 1965, Gordon Moore predicted that the density of transistors in an integrated circuit (IC) would double every two years. That prediction became known as “Moore’s law,” and it is still going strong. The result has been an explosive growth in computing and converter technologies. For example, we have seen exponential growth in the performance of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and central processing units (CPUs) because of increased IC density
