SDS6000A Series
Bench-defining performance: 500 MHz to 2 GHz across four channels, 5 GSa/s sampling, up to 500 Mpts of memory and a pro analysis suite — eye/jitter, power analysis, Bode and deep serial decode — on a 12.1" touch display.
A flagship bench oscilloscope
The SDS6000A series is Siglent’s high-performance platform for demanding R&D, validation and education. Three models deliver 500 MHz, 1 GHz or 2 GHz of bandwidth, each with four channels sampling at 5 GSa/s (10 GSa/s ESR) and up to 500 Mpts of acquisition memory.
Beyond raw acquisition, it is a complete analysis instrument: a large 12.1" capacitive touch display, a 170,000 wfm/s capture rate (750,000 wfm/s in Sequence mode), 8 Mpts FFT, and a license-activated pro suite covering eye-diagram & jitter, power analysis, Bode plotting, SignalScan and extensive serial-bus decode. Add the SPL2016 logic probe for 4 analog + 16 digital mixed-signal work.
Where it fits: the SDS6000A is for engineers who have outgrown a mid-range scope but need real bandwidth and analysis depth — power-electronics and motor-drive development, high-speed digital and serial-bus debug, RF-adjacent work, EMC pre-compliance and university research. All three models share the same platform, display and software, so you choose purely on bandwidth and unlock the analysis licenses you need, when you need them — protecting the investment as your work grows.

Features in depth
Bode plot & frequency-response analysis
A complete frequency-response analyser is built in: apply a swept stimulus and the SDS6000A plots gain and phase versus frequency directly on the 12.1″ screen — no PC and no separate vector network analyser required.
- Magnitude and phase plotted across a user-set frequency range
- Measure control-loop stability — gain margin & phase margin — of switch-mode power supplies
- Characterise filters, amplifiers, sensors and passive networks
- Drive the sweep from the optional built-in 25 MHz generator or an external source
- Automatic margin read-outs, cursors and on-screen result tables
- Export plots and CSV data straight into design reports
Power analysis — SDS6000Pro-PA
Pair a voltage and a current probe (de-skewed with the DF2001A fixture) and the SDS6000A turns into a power-measurement workstation, automating the slow, error-prone measurements engineers normally make by hand.
- Switching loss — turn-on, turn-off & conduction loss, plus a Safe-Operating-Area (SOA) plot
- Power quality — real / apparent / reactive power, power factor and crest factor
- Current-harmonics analysis with pass/fail tables
- Inrush current, plus dv/dt and di/dt slew-rate on fast edges
- Output ripple & noise, line / load regulation and efficiency
- Especially valuable for GaN/SiC fast-switching designs on the 1 GHz and 2 GHz models
Eye diagram, jitter & deep memory
High-speed signal-integrity work is built in. The SDS6000Pro-EJ license adds on-instrument eye-diagram and jitter analysis, while 500 Mpts of memory captures long records without ever dropping the 5 GSa/s sample rate.
- Real-time eye diagram with mask testing for go/no-go checks
- Jitter decomposition (TIE, period, cycle-to-cycle) with histogram & trend views
- Software clock recovery for embedded-clock serial links
- Up to 2 GHz bandwidth, 5 GSa/s (10 GSa/s ESR) resolves the fastest edges cleanly
- Up to 500 Mpts record length for long, high-resolution acquisitions
- SignalScan & History hunt rare glitches across the entire deep record
Mixed-signal, serial decode & connectivity
One instrument covers analog, digital and bus-level debug, and drops straight into a modern bench or automated-test rack with fast, standard interfaces.
- Add the SPL2016 logic probe for 4 analog + 16 digital channels (MSO)
- Standard serial decode: I²C, SPI, UART, CAN and LIN
- Optional decode: CAN FD, FlexRay, I²S, MIL-STD-1553B, SENT, Manchester, ARINC429
- Deep 8 Mpts FFT turns the scope into a capable spectrum tool
- USB 3.0 & 2.0, Gigabit LAN, HDMI out, micro-SD and full web / SCPI remote control
- 12.1″ 1280×800 capacitive multi-touch, with the included wireless mouse
