Breakthrough solutions for real-time digital
systems analysis
Tektronix provides breakthrough digital systems analysis tools that enable
digital hardware and software designers to capture and analyze the source
of elusive problems that threaten product development schedules. The
TLA7000 Series provides the speed you need to capture the source of
those elusive problems, plus the visibility you want with large displays and
fast system data throughput, while protecting your investment with
compatibility with all TLA modules.
To complement the high-performance logic analyzer modules, the
TLA7ACx Series logic analyzer modules offer all the same debug and
verification functionality, but with performance levels more suited to the
embedded designer.
The TLA7ACx modules offer high-speed state
synchronous capture, high-speed timing capture, and analog capture
through the same set of probes. MagniVu technology offering up to 125 ps
timing on all channels, glitch and setup/hold triggering, and display and
time stamp that is always on at 125 ps resolution is available as standard
on all models.

TLA7012 and TLA7016 mainframes
The TLA7012 Portable and TLA7016 Benchtop mainframes are modular
mainframes that accept TLA logic analyzer and pattern generator modules.
The TLA7012 and TLA7016 can be configured as either master or
expansion mainframes to provide solutions for large numbers of buses and
high channel-count requirements.
The TLA7012 Portable Mainframe offers a familiar work environment for the
TLA application software. It provides multiple display capability for
extended desktop viewing, in addition to an internal DVD-RW, hard drive,
and multiple USB ports for expansion. A replaceable hard drive is standard,
ideal for security or enabling individual team members to store personal
setups and data. Trigger in/out connections provide an interface to other
external instrumentation, such as Tektronix oscilloscopes, for correlating
measurement results.
P6800 and P6900 series probes
With the industry's lowest capacitance, the P6800 and P6900 Series logic
analyzer probes protect the integrity of your signal - critical for connecting
to fast buses like DDR2 and DDR3 where low intrusion is key to the proper
operation of your design. Select from single-ended and differential probes
and a variety of attachment mechanisms, including the "connectorless"
compression connection that eliminates the need for onboard connectors.
For applications where circuit board space is at a premium, the high-density
®
P6900 Series with D-Max Probing Technology offers the industry's
smallest available footprint. For debugging the signal integrity glitches
common on fast buses, the P6900 Series works with the TLA7BBx and
TLA7ACx modules and their iLink
™
Tool Set capability to provide
iCapture
™
simultaneous digital-analog acquisition. This allows you to
clearly see the time-correlated digital and analog behavior of your design,
without the extra capacitance and setup time of double-probing.
For differential signaling applications where signal integrity is critical, the
high-fidelity P6980 and P6982 are perfect for those applications where
noise performance is critical. In addition, the P6980 and P6982 can support
the small voltage swings that differential signaling often requires. The
P6962DBL, when used with a TLA7000 Series logic analyzer with the
TLA7BBx module, supports digital validation and debug of DDR3 memory
with data rates up to 1600 mega-transfers per second. For board designs
that do not include high-density probe footprints, the P6960 with its
companion flying leadset provides the flexibility required to meet many
different debug needs.
TLA7ACx and TLA7BBx modules
Today's digital design engineers face daily pressures to speed new
products to the marketplace. The TLA7ACx and TLA7BBx Series logic
analyzer modules answer the need with breakthrough solutions for the
entire design team, providing the ability to quickly monitor, capture, and
analyze real-time digital system operation to debug, verify, optimize, and
validate digital systems. Hardware developers, hardware/software
integrators, and embedded software developers will appreciate the range of
capabilities of the TLA7ACx and TLA7BBx Series logic analyzer modules.
Its broad feature set includes capturing and correlating elusive hardware
and software faults; providing simultaneous state, high-speed timing, and
analog analysis through the same probe; using deep state acquisition to
find the cause of complex problems; real-time, nonintrusive software
execution tracing that correlates to source code and to hardware events;
and nonintrusive connectorless probing.
The TLA7BBx Series logic analyzer modules offer breakthrough MagniVu
™
technology by Tektronix for providing high-speed sampling (up to 50 GHz)
that dramatically changes the way logic analyzers work and enables new
measurement capabilities. The TLA7BBx modules offer high-speed state
synchronous capture, high-speed timing capture, and analog capture
through the same set of probes. They capitalize on MagniVu technology to
offer up to 20 ps timing on all channels, glitch and setup/hold triggering,
and display and time stamp that is always on at up to 20 ps resolution.

AutoDeskew and Customer Deskew fixture
Tektronix recommends AutoDeskew, a standard feature available within the
TLA application, for deskewing probe channels and setting the sample
point for synchronous applications. However, for tight time alignment in
both synchronous and asynchronous applications (including MagniVu),
Tektronix recommends the Customer Deskew fixture. This is an optional
accessory to the TLA7BBx modules that is used to perform a channel-to-
channel deskew of the probes connected to the TLA7BBx module to ensure
tight time alignment between all channels across all probes. Two different
fixtures are available:
Customer Deskew fixture for P6800 series probes
Customer Deskew fixture for P6900 series probes
Reduce your time to information by viewing and searching up to 16 GB
deep memory in just seconds with rapid display updates enabled by our
industry-leading hardware acceleration. With improved information density
you can then quickly ascertain the health of the system and identify
patterns of interest (errors, specific transactions, ordered sets, etc.) with
statistics using the Summary Profile window. Protocol behavior can be
viewed at the packet and transaction level interspersed with physical layer
activity in a single innovative Transaction window. Further insight into
physical layer details can be gained with the unique Listing window
showing packet details at the symbol level by lane and you can view
individual lane activity correlated with analog waveforms from your high-
bandwidth oscilloscope in the Waveform window.
Hardware developers, hardware/software integrators, and embedded
system designers will appreciate the tight integration with the Tektronix
Logic Analyzer. This provides visibility of complete system interactions with
time-correlated, multibus analysis on a single display. Cross triggering and
a common global time stamp enables accurate and efficient debugging by
showing exactly what was happening on one bus relative to another at any
given instant of time. Coupled with the P67SA00 Series probing solutions,
engineers have flexible options for platform accessibility.

information on the Tektronix PCI Express Logic Protocol Analyzer modules.
P67SA00 series probes for PCI Express
The P67SA00 series probes provide validation engineers with a
comprehensive set of PCI Express probing solutions, including midbus, slot
interposer, and solder-down connectors. With support for PCI Express
Gen3 channel lengths up to 24 in. With two connectors, these probes offer
minimal electrical loading with the highest signal fidelity and active
equalization to ensure accurate data recovery of closed eyes. All P67SA00
series probes feature a graphical lane swizzling capability for maximum
flexibility to accommodate unique circuit board layouts.
