Overview
About GDS-3104A
The GDS-3104A is GW Instek’s flagship 1 GHz digital storage oscilloscope, delivering 5 GSa/s real-time sampling, 200 Mega points memory per channel, and 13 built-in power analysis measurements including efficiency, switching loss, SOA, bode plot (PSRR), and magnetics (B-H curve). A dual-channel spectrum analyzer covering DC to 2.5 GHz with spectrogram display provides frequency-domain troubleshooting alongside time-domain capture.
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth | 1 GHz |
| Sampling Rate | 5 GSa/s real-time |
| Memory Depth | 200 Mpts per channel |
| Segmented Memory | 490,000 segments with waveform search |
| Power Analysis | 13 tests: efficiency, switching loss, SOA, PSRR, B-H curve |
| Spectrum Analyzer | Dual-channel, DC to 2.5 GHz with spectrogram |
| Serial Decode | I2C, UART, SPI, CAN, LIN |
| Built-in AWG | Dual-channel 25 MHz arbitrary waveform generator |
| Display | 10.2-inch TFT LCD |
| MSO Option | 16 digital channels |
The 490,000-segment memory with waveform search enables efficient long-duration recording and anomaly detection, making it possible to capture rare glitches and timing violations over extended observation windows. Serial bus decoding for I2C, UART, SPI, CAN, and LIN protocols supports embedded system debugging with protocol-level triggering and decoded data display.
Power electronics engineers benefit from the 13 integrated power analysis measurements that eliminate the need for dedicated power analyzers during SMPS development, while the built-in dual-channel 25 MHz arbitrary waveform generator removes the requirement for an external signal source during stimulus-response testing. The optional 16-channel MSO capability adds digital logic analysis for true mixed-signal debugging.

GW Instek Insights
Emulating Processor Power for Thermal Testing: Why Constant Power
A heat sink or a cold plate is qualified against a watt figure, not a volt figure. This application note explains why a thermal load is driven in constant-power mode, how the bench is built for air and for liquid cooling, and what to confirm before you buy.
CRPS and Rack Power Supply Testing: The Six Tests That Matter
A CRPS module has to hold up under an unbalanced grid, a 0 to 100 percent load step, a surge on the line and a redundancy handover. This application note sets out the six tests, and the one source capability that makes a long feeder reproducible on the bench.
GPU Power Board Testing: DC Input Verification Before Integration
A GPU power delivery board is cheap to reject on a bench and expensive to find in an assembled server. This application note covers the programmable DC input test that screens the board, and the same test applied to incoming server systems.
