What it is

The Tektronix DSA 602 is a digitizing signal analyzer.[1][3]

How it works

The DSA 602 is a Tektronix digitizing signal analyzer that accepts plug-in amplifier modules and supports measurements such as effective bits, baseline noise, pulse behavior, calibration stability, timing, crosstalk, and time-domain reflectometry.[1]

The DSA 602 supports left, center, and right plug-in compartments and accepts both GPIB and RS-232-C control interfaces.[3]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A digitizing signal analyzer sits in electrical characterization and troubleshooting rather than in wafer fabrication.

Applications

The DSA 602 was evaluated with IIA52 and IIA72 amplifier modules and used in measurements of effective bits, baseline noise, pulse testing, calibration stability, timing tests, crosstalk, and TDR.[1]
