MXO-EP processing ASIC
See more of your signals, faster
Every Rohde & Schwarz MXO 5 Series comes with two MXO-EP (extreme performance) Rohde & Schwarz application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC). The MXO-EP ASIC architecture processes 400 Gbit/s for the world’s fastest update rate of up to > 4.5 million acquisitions/s and a total of 18 million waveforms/s on multiple channels. See and capture more signals, faster and find rare signal anomalies quickly with the most responsive oscilloscope in the industry.

12-bit ADC, 18-bit vertical architecture
Measure your signals accurately
The Rohde & Schwarz MXO 5 has an incredibly low-noise signal path, powered by a channel-dedicated 12-bit ADC with no sample rate limitations. High definition mode (HD) enhances the vertical resolution to a remarkable 18 bit, ensuring unwavering accuracy in every measurement. With ultra-low noise and a highly sensitive frontend, the offset voltage can be driven up to ±5 V at the highest sensitivity. Get precise results and greater versatility.

Responsive deep memory
Capture more of your signals
Rohde & Schwarz MXO 5 Series oscilloscopes come with the industry’s deepest standard acquisition memory of 500 Mpoints per channel, for the highest sample rate capture of up to 200 ms of power up or power down sequences on eight channels. Get even longer recordings with the 1 Gpoints memory expansion.

Advanced digital triggering system
Easily isolate subtle signal variations
The MXO-EP ASIC incorporates advanced digital triggering to evaluate ADC samples in the acquisition path in real time. Trigger on small events with vertical divisions of less than 0.0001 that no other oscilloscope can isolate. Choose your own trigger hysteresis.

POWER CONVERSION

Energy and power efficiency are critical to electronics design. Data centers, automotive electrification and renewable energy development are driving the growth of wide bandgap power semiconductors. To meet the next generation power research and development needs, the Rohde & Schwarz MXO 5 offers revolutionary power conversion testing performance and features.

Eight channels provide in-depth visibility of three-phase and six-phase motor drives and inverters. The Rohde & Schwarz MXO 5 supports up to eight active probes including concurrent high voltage differential and current probes. The 18-bit HD mode with digital trigger provides the ultimate resolution for accurate measurement and precise triggering.

POWER SEQUENCING AND INTEGRITY

All electronic circuits need to be power up and down at the right time with the proper power amplitude. Power sequencing can be complex and iterative. The Rohde & Schwarz MXO 5 can be used to concurrently observe up to eight analog channels and eight reference waveforms.

On top of the channel count, having enough memory is crucial to record over longer time periods and obtaining a large enough sample rate to observe small signal events. The Rohde & Schwarz MXO 5 comes with a standard 500 Mpoints.

To measure power ripple and noise, the Rohde & Schwarz MXO 5 has 5 V offsets with maximum sensitivity of 0.5 mV/div. Even with a 10x passive probe, 50 V range DC signals at 5 mV/div can be observed with high precision. When combined with fast spectrum, the Rohde & Schwarz MXO 5 is ideal for finding EMI issues and revealing spectral components for faster noise source identification.

AUTOMOTIVE ANALYSIS

The efficiency and drive power of electric motors and inverters are constantly evolving. Multiphase topologies require careful gate driver optimization. The eight channels in the Rohde & Schwarz MXO 5 can observe these PWM controlled gates. Tracked measurement functions and spectrum analysis can be visualized for insight into drive behavior.

In-vehicle networks in autonomous and smart cars are evolving from electronic control units (ECU) to domain controller networks, where high-speed interconnections are crucial for camera, lidar, radar, sensors and various vehicle controls. The Rohde & Schwarz MXO 5 Series has the ideal bandwidth and analysis depth to assess basic compliance requirements as well as automotive protocol trigger decoding.

SIGNAL INTEGRITY AND DEBUGGING

The Rohde & Schwarz MXO 5 waveform acquisition of rate up to > 4.5 million can be used for signal testing where error detection is critical. The Rohde & Schwarz MXO 5 has nearly no blind time and can detect rare and random events that other oscilloscopes miss. Most importantly, the Rohde & Schwarz MXO 5 can maintain the acquisition rate with up to four channels activated. Basic measurements and math functions are hardware accelerated.

Rohde & Schwarz MXO 5 delivers four hardware-accelerated spectrum channels. With up to 45000 FFT/s per channel, the oscilloscope can perform up to 180000 FFT/s. Quickly test and debug harmonic, EMI or other applications that require superior spectrum capabilities.
