Siglent SDS802X HD 2CH 70MHz 12bit Oscilloscope
SIGLENT’s new SDS802X HD series high resolution digital storage oscilloscope is based on 2 GSa/s, 12-bit Analog-Digital Converters and front ends with excellent noise floor performance. With a 70MHz bandwidth, and a maximum record length of 50 Mpts, and has 2 analog channels + 16 digital channels mixed signal analysis ability.
SDS802X HD — 70 MHz, 2 channels, 12-bit
The SDS802X HD is the 70 MHz, 2-channel model of Siglent’s SDS800X HD series — the most affordable 12-bit oscilloscope in the range, bringing high-resolution acquisition to the bench, lab and classroom. The 12-bit ADC and a quiet 70 µVrms front end resolve small signals and ripple with far less noise than an 8-bit scope.
It pairs that resolution with 2 GSa/s sampling, up to 100 Mpts of memory and a 120,000 wfm/s capture rate, a 7" capacitive multi-touch display, and built-in Bode plot, power analysis and a 2 Mpts FFT. Standard serial decode (incl. CAN FD, FlexRay & I²S), an optional 16-channel logic probe and a 25 MHz generator make it a complete, budget-friendly bench.
Analysis tools built in
12-bit high resolution
A true 12-bit ADC reveals fine detail and small signals with 16× less quantisation noise than an 8-bit scope, on a front end with a 70 µVrms noise floor.
Bode plot & power analysis
Built-in frequency-response (Bode) plotting with a Vari-level mode for control-loop response, plus optional power-analysis tools.
2 Mpts FFT
A hardware-accelerated 2 Mpts FFT with Normal/Average/Max-hold modes, multiple windows and peak markers turns the scope into a capable spectrum tool.
Advanced math
Four math traces with +, −, ×, ÷, FFT, integrate, differentiate and square-root, plus a formula editor for complex operations.
Who it’s for & best applications
The SDS802X HD is the most affordable way into 12-bit measurement — a compact 70 MHz, 2-channel oscilloscope for everyday electronics, teaching and service where two channels and crisp resolution are all you need. Its 12-bit ADC and quiet 70 µVrms front end resolve small signals, ripple and subtle distortion that an 8-bit scope buries in quantisation noise. A 7″ capacitive multi-touch display, deep 100 Mpts memory and a fast 120,000 wfm/s capture rate keep it responsive on a busy bench or in a training lab — and it grows later with an optional 16-channel logic probe and a 25 MHz waveform generator.
