SIGLENT Launches New 8 GHz Digital Oscilloscope！
July 10, 2025 — SIGLENT has unveiled the enhanced SDS7000A/AP models, building on the success of its SDS7000A high-resolution digital oscilloscope series. The new models now feature bandwidth up to 8 GHz, a high-resolution 12-bit ADC, maximum 20 GSa/s sampling rate per channel, and a maximum memory depth of 2 Gpts/ch. New capabilities include 2.5G/5G/10GBase-T Ethernet Electrical Compliance Testing, MIPI-DPHY protocol analysis, Real-Time Spectrum Analysis (RTSA), Digital Down-Conversion (DDC), and upgraded CAN XL decoding.
2.5G/5G/10GBase-T Ethernet Electrical Compliance Testing
The upgraded SDS7000A series now supports full electrical compliance testing for 2.5G/5G/10GBase-T Ethernet, including critical parameters such as output drop, transmitter timing jitter, power spectral density, and MDI return loss. These features help ensure devices meet IEEE standards. Engineers can automatically generate IEEE 802.3-2018-compliant compliance test reports in HTML, XML, or PDF formats, including pass/fail status, threshold values, measured results, margin analysis, and waveform displays. This visually rich and data-driven reporting streamlines troubleshooting and product optimization.
MIPI-DPHY Compliance Testing
The SDS7000A series also supports MIPI-DPHY compliance analysis based on the CTS 1.0 specification. The oscilloscope captures HS-TX and LP-TX signaling on both data and clock lanes using its 12-bit ADC and ≥4 GHz bandwidth, combined with 5 GHz active differential probes. Eye diagram functionality is integrated for evaluating signal integrity, with automated configuration and report generation.
Real-Time Spectrum Analysis (RTSA)
Equipped with RTSA and digital down-conversion (DDC) technologies, the SDS7000A supports up to 1 GHz Real-Time analysis bandwidth. Advanced display modes include density plots, spectrum monitoring, and 3D visualizations. Compared to traditional superheterodyne spectrum analyzers, the SDS7000A offers higher bandwidth and faster signal acquisition — ideal for capturing transient events in 5G NR, 4G LTE, and Wi-Fi.
Integrated Vector Signal Analysis (SigVSA)
The SDS7000A features SigVSA vector signal analysis software, allowing direct signal analysis from DDC output without external equipment. It supports demodulation of signal types ranging from basic BPSK to complex wideband signals, such as those in 4G LTE, 5G NR, IEEE 802.11b/a/g/n/ac/ax/be standards, and 4096QAM. Both real-time and offline waveform analysis are supported, providing flexibility for laboratory and post-processing workflows.
Enhanced CAN XL Decoding Support
The SDS7000A series oscilloscopes provide comprehensive CAN protocol testing capabilities, with full support for CAN XL decoding in addition to CAN/CAN FD, enabling seamless coverage of automotive bus systems from low-speed diagnostics (10 kbps) to high-speed domain control (20 Mbps). The instrument supports both low-power and high-speed modes, making it well-suited for automotive and industrial control applications. The oscilloscope features 16 total channels (4 analog and 12 digital) for synchronized decoding and comprehensive fault analysis, including collision detection and signal reflections.
The SDS7000A also supports Wake-on-LAN (WoL), enabling users to remotely power up the instrument via Ethernet — ideal for automated test environments where physical access is limited.
With these cutting-edge features, the SDS7000A/AP oscilloscopes provide a powerful and versatile platform for engineers in data centers, wireless communications, consumer electronics, and automotive applications.
SIGLENT celebrates the grand opening of its first full-process overseas production base in Malaysia
On June 12, 2025, SIGLENT held a grand opening ceremony for its first full-process overseas production base in Penang, Malaysia. Themed “Synergizing Visions, Engineering Futures”, the event was attended by over 40 distinguished guests from government and business sectors including YB Jason H’ng Mooi Lye, Penang State Exco for Local Government and Town and Country Planning; H.E. Mr. Zhou You Bin, Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in Penang; Datuk Yeoh Soon Hin, Chairman of the Penang Port Commission & Deputy Chairman of the Tourism Malaysia; and representatives from key government agencies, partners and suppliers.
As SIGLENT’s first full-process overseas production base, the Penang facility has completed its Phase I of construction and installed core manufacturing equipment. It integrates R&D, production, after-sales service, supply chain management, and operations, establishing a stable and comprehensive operational structure.
Mr. Qin Ke, the Chairman and President of SIGLENT, highlighted that the Penang base is a key step in SIGLENT’s global strategy in his speech. With an initial investment of around RM 10 million, the Penang facility has successfully completed the construction of its production setup and localizing the supply chain. A Phase II investment of around RM 100 million is planned to further expand the facility with additional product lines and supporting equipment, significantly enhancing SIGLENT’s mass production capabilities.
“Penang was chosen for its strategic location by the Strait of Malacca, its mature electronics industry ecosystem, highly skilled workforce, and strong government support for technological advancement and innovation”, Mr. Qin Ke noted.
YB Jason H’ng Mooi Lye, Penang State Exco for Local Government and Town and Country Planning, emphasized that SIGLENT’s decision to establish this milestone facility in Penang affirms the state’s global reputation as a hub for high-tech manufacturing.
He believed that the grand opening of SIGLENT’s first overseas full-process production base in Penang would strengthen the state’s electronics value chain and spur economic growth.
H.E. Mr. Zhou You Bin, Consul General of the people’s Republic of China in Penang, expressed his pleasure in witnessing a Chinese tech manufacturing company launch a new chapter in Malaysia. As China and Malaysia enter a “Golden 50 Years” of bilateral relations, he expressed hope that SIGLENT will seize the opportunity to grow boldly in Penang and become a flagship for economic and technological cooperation between the two countries, deepening mutual friendship and win-win collaboration.
Datuk Yeoh Soon Hin, Chairman of the Penang Port Commission & Deputy Chairman of the Tourism Malaysia, also warmly welcomed SIGLENT, assuring future support in ensuring efficient logistics, port accessibility, and regulatory coordination.
During the ceremony, Mr. Qin Ke outlined SIGLENT’s long-term vision in Malaysia, emphasizing that the new subsidiary is more than just a manufacturing site — it is set to become a full-chain overseas operations base. In addition to advancing trade cooperation, SIGLENT plans to actively collaborate with local universities through joint labs and talent development programs, driving innovation and contributing to the upgrading of the local electronics industry.
From early cooperation with Amazon to the establishment of subsidiaries in the U.S. and Germany in 2014 and in Japan in 2022, SIGLENT has remained committed to building a global manufacturing and supply network. The launch of the Malaysian facility marks a major step forward in this journey. Looking ahead, SIGLENT will continue expanding its overseas manufacturing footprint, with localized bases in Europe, the Americas, and Asia, to enhance global supply capabilities for its core products.
