Overview
About GDS-3500 Series
The GDS-3500 Series is GW Instek’s 500 MHz visual persistence oscilloscope (VPO) line, combining 5 GSa/s real-time and 100 GSa/s equivalent-time sampling with an intensity-graded waveform display that reveals signal frequency-of-occurrence information. The selectable 50 ohm, 75 ohm, and 1M ohm input impedance makes the series suitable for RF, video, and general-purpose measurements without external adapters. Split-screen mode allows simultaneous time-domain and frequency-domain views.

|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth | 500 MHz | 500 MHz |
| Channels | 4 analog | 2 analog |
| Real-time Sampling | 5 GSa/s | 5 GSa/s |
| Equivalent Sampling | 100 GSa/s | 100 GSa/s |
| Memory Depth | 25,000 pts/ch | 25,000 pts/ch |
| Input Impedance | 50/75/1M ohm | 50/75/1M ohm |
| Display | 8” 800x600 TFT | 8” 800x600 TFT |
| Power Analysis | Optional | Optional |
The VPO display technology highlights waveform anomalies by mapping sample density to color intensity, enabling engineers to spot jitter, runt pulses, and signal integrity problems at a glance. Optional power analysis add-on extends the platform to switching power supply development.
With triple-impedance inputs, the GDS-3500 Series bridges RF characterization at 50 ohm, video system testing at 75 ohm, and standard bench probing at 1M ohm in a single instrument.
GSAS Micro Systems supplies the GDS-3500 Series across India with technical consultation, accessory selection, and warranty support.

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.
