Case Study: Singapore-Based Developer and Manufacturer of Life Science Tools achieves six-month-to-two-week design validation turnaround with Keysight

How signal integrity solutions accelerated the design validation process of a new genomic sequencer

The Singapore-Based Developer Manufacturing Company, a life‑science tools and integrated systems developer working on a next‑generation genomic sequencer for a large population study, faced high‑speed digital design validation challenges: display flicker, suspected DisplayPort signal issues, crosstalk and insufficient test capability to verify data integrity. Keysight provided signal integrity test solutions—including the DSOV164A Infiniium V‑Series oscilloscope, D9040DPPC DisplayPort compliance software, D9120ASIA Advanced Signal Integrity Software and InfiniiMax probe amplifiers—to help diagnose the problem.

Keysight used eye‑diagram and serial data equalization features on the DSOV164A with D9040DPPC and D9120ASIA (plus InfiniiMax probes) to prove the issue was a longer‑than‑recommended DisplayPort cable with a repeater, enabling the customer to fix the design. The result: design validation and test time dropped from as long as six months to just two weeks, accelerating the sequencer’s market release and making Keysight tools a permanent part of the company’s R&D test suite.
