In response to the increasing demands of modern electronic testing—from high-speed communication systems to power semiconductor characterization—SIGLENT has introduced the SDG3000X Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator. Featuring high sampling rates, deep memory, and advanced EasyPulse and TrueArb technologies, the SDG3000X delivers precise, low-jitter signal generation for complex test scenarios. Designed for both flexibility and performance, it addresses the need for reliable instrumentation in today’s evolving test environments.

September 25(th)—SIGLENT launches the next-generation SDG3000X Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator. Designed for high fidelity and high precision signal generation, SDG3000X series offers up to 200 MHz output frequency, 40 Mpts arbitrary waveform length per channel, 16-bit vertical resolution and a maximum sampling rate of 1.2 GSa/s. Featuring a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, an intuitive interface, and robust signal generation capabilities, the SDG3000X is well-suited for applications in communications, semiconductors, new energy technologies, and academic research.


High-Fidelity Signal Generation and Precision Pulse Output

The SDG3000X incorporates EasyPulse and TrueArb technologies to set a new benchmark for signal generation accuracy, which significantly improve upon the limitations of traditional DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) waveform generation.


High precision pulse generation, flexible adjustment of edge pulse width

EasyPulse is optimized for pulse signal generation. It is capable of producing pulses as narrow as 8 ns with fast rising/falling edges that remain stable across frequency variations. It allows for wide-ranging, fine-grained adjustments of edge timing and pulse width, making it ideal tool for generating high-precision pulse signals.


Advanced Arbitrary and Complex Signal Generation

With 196 built-in arbitrary waveforms and a memory depth of up to 40 Mpts per channel, the SDG3000X provides the capacity to store and accurately reproduce complex signals. It also features a flexible sequence mode, allowing users to define playback order and loop counts for each waveform segment—ideal for custom and repetitive test scenarios.


Flexible signal generation, covering complex test requirements

It supports PRBS signal output up to 120 Mbps, baseband and IF IQ signal generation with symbol rates from 250 to 50 MSymb/s, and a wide range of modulation types including AM, DSB-SC, FM, PM, FSK, ASK, PSK, and PWM. With built-in Sweep and Burst modes, the SDG3000X delivers comprehensive support across a variety of test environments—from education and R&D to industrial power device testing.


Double-Pulse Testing for Power Semiconductors

Double-pulse testing is critical in analyzing the dynamic behavior of power semiconductor devices such as IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs, particularly for evaluating switching losses and conduction characteristics. The SDG3000X offers an ideal platform for this application.
With channel tracking and phase synchronization, users can precisely control pulse widths and timing intervals to simulate realistic switching behavior. Combined with remote control via USB/LAN, and oscilloscope synchronization, the SDG3000X simplifies the creation of automated test systems—enhancing both testing efficiency and data reliability.


Intelligent User Experience

Equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen, the SDG3000X allows intuitive parameter settings and signal viewing. It supports MATLAB and Python script import and oscilloscope linkage for automatic calibration. A built-in high-precision frequency counter, along with multiple communication interfaces such as LAN, USB, and GPIB, and a built-in WebServer, ensures easy remote access and synchronization across multiple devices—streamlining workflows and boosting productivity.

SIGLENT Launches SMM3000X Series Source/Measure Unit

Visualizzazione 389

February 27, 2026 — SIGLENT Technologies releases SMM3000X Series Source/Measure Unit (SMU). SMM3000X features 6½-digit resolution, output capability of up to ±210 V DC voltage, ±3.03 A DC current, and ±10.5 A pulsed current, with programming and measurement resolution down to 10 fA / 100 nV, and a maximum acquisition rate of 100,000 points/s.

The SMM3000X supports four-quadrant operation, enabling simultaneous sourcing and measurement for closed-loop source–measure operations on DUTs. It can function as a voltage source, current source, voltmeter, ammeter, and ohmmeter, and also supports pulse generation and arbitrary waveform output, making it an ideal platform for characterizing semiconductors and other nonlinear devices and materials.


High-Accuracy Pulse Simulation

In pulse mode, the SMM3000X series supports pulsed current output up to ±10.5 A, with a minimum pulse width of 50 μs. This allows precise emulation of transient operating conditions of power devices, such as switching loss testing for GaN and SiC devices, providing strong support for R&D and validation of wide-bandgap power semiconductors.


Linear and Log Sweep Functions

The SMM3000X supports linear, log and pulsed sweep modes. Users can define start and stop values with fixed step sizes to source voltage or current point-by-point, while automatically measuring and logging each data point. This enables fast characterization of devices such as diodes and transistors, allowing engineers to extract I-V curves and analyze conduction behavior under different operating conditions.


Flexible User-Defined Sequences

List mode allows users to define custom output sequences with minimum timing resolution down to 10 μs. Parameter changes can be linear, non-linear, arbitrary, or user-ordered. The SMM3000X outputs voltage or current according to the defined list while synchronously measuring and recording data—ideal for non-uniform sweeps, multi-segment tests, and complex stimulus profiles.


Data Visualization and Analysis

The SMM3000X series provides multiple display modes including Graph, Roll, and Measure views.

  • Graph View enables real-time plotting of mathematical results.
  • Roll View displays time-domain waveforms of acquired data.
  • Measure View provides statistical analysis of traces.

These views offer multi-dimensional insight into test results, making data interpretation and debugging more intuitive.


Efficient Remote Programming and Control

Based on an advanced SCPI command set, the SMM3000X supports USB and LAN interfaces for seamless PC connectivity and automation. Users can operate the instrument via a built-in web interface or implement deep custom control using SCPI scripting. In addition, TCP/IP Socket communication is supported for flexible network-based test control and integration into automated test systems.

The SMM3000X series is designed to meet the precision testing needs of third-generation semiconductors, advanced optoelectronic devices, and emerging materials, while also significantly accelerating development cycles for new energy batteries and high-density integrated circuits. By improving both test efficiency and measurement accuracy, provides a powerful foundation for new product development and innovation.
