Using random equivalent time sampling, it can acquire up to eight channels at 300 MHz, six channels at 600 MHz, or up to 3 channels at 1 GHz. Resolution is up to 10 ps horizontal and 10 bits vertical, with 10,240 points of memory.

Note: The photos of the "Prototype 11401" are of a scope that said 11331 on the front panel.

The project manager of the 11400 series was Tom Rousseau, who was also project manager for the 7854. The 11400 engineering team included some of the main people from the 7854 project.

The 11401 uses the 156-2622-00 SDI controller IC (U330).

Vertical Signal Path

Each of the three plug-in bays in the 11401 has a dedicated sampler. The sampling clock is common to the three samplers. The sampling pulse is generated by an ECL 2-input OR gate being fed SAMPLE_CLOCK and delay_5ns(invert(SAMPLE_CLOCK)). This produces 5ns pulses with rise time around 1 ns. The 5ns pulses are fed to a discrete NPN differential pair operating in a clipping current-switch mode, resulting in faster edges. The output of the differential pair drive a strobe generator IC, U1040, which is an M453 die, packaged as part number 155-0320-00 or 155-0320-01, depending on the mainframe's serial number. U1040 has three sampling strobe outputs, which are fed to the sampling gates.
