Pico Technology 9402-16 CDR PC USB Oscilloscope

Overview

The Pico Technology 9402-16 CDR is a PC-based USB sampler-extended real-time oscilloscope (SXRTO) with integrated clock and data recovery (CDR) capability. Designed for high-speed signal analysis, it features 16 GHz bandwidth, 2 channels, 12-bit ADC resolution, and is ideal for telecommunications and applications where timing recovery is critical.

The 9402-16 CDR features random sampling up to 2.5 TS/s with 0.4 ps trigger placement resolution. The CDR capability enables clock and data extraction up to 8 Gb/s, with recovered clock and data available on SMA outputs. The included PicoSample 4 software provides touch-compatible operation with advanced triggering options.
