Performance and ease of use to debug, validate, and optimize digital systems

• 40 ps resolution MagniVu™ Acquisition to accurately see signal relationships in your system
• State Speed - Sample your fastest synchronous buses with clock rates up to 667 MHz and data rates up to 1333 Mb/s
• 15 in. display, with optional touch screen to see more of your data and navigate efficiently through your data
• 4 models with 34/68/102/136 channels and up to 64 Mb record length offer flexible solutions to fit any budget
• Drag-and-Drop Triggering - Simply drag any one of eight different trigger types from a table to the waveform and the TLA will automatically set up the trigger conditions. Eliminates errors, improves repeatability, and saves time.
• Drag-and-Drop measurements - Simply drag an icon from the measurement toolbar and drop it on your signal of interest and get a table of results. Saves time, removes complexity, and reduces measurement uncertainty.

Comprehensive set of signal integrity tools that allow you to quickly isolate, identify, and debug complex signal integrity issues

• Glitch Trigger and Storage - Allows you to trigger on and highlight potential signal integrity problems. Not only can the TLA6400 Series trigger on the problem, but by highlighting suspected problems in red, you will easily determine which signals you need to investigate further.
• iCapture -Route the suspected signal to the analog output of the TLA6400 Series using the exclusive Tektronix iCapture feature. This eliminates the need to double-probe with an oscilloscope probe, reducing time to debug.
• iView - Time-correlated view of both logic analyzer and oscilloscope data to trace the SI problem across the digital and analog domain.

Efficiently debug and validate your digital system at a price you will like!

The affordable TLA6400 Series logic analyzers offer the performance needed to debug, validate, and optimize the functionality of your digital system. The TLA6400 Series provides a comprehensive set of signal integrity debug tools that allow you quickly isolate, identify, and characterize elusive and hard-to-find problems. Add a broad range of support for today's applications, and you have the ideal tool to help you meet all of the debug challenges of today's digital designs.

The TLA6400 Series allows you to effectively validate and debug the functionality of your digital designs:

• Use the patented 25 GHz MagniVu technology to accurately measure timing relationships. The single, integrated acquisition architecture of the TLA6400 Series eliminates the timing skew problems inherent in other logic analyzer architectures.
• Capture buses with clock rates up to 667 MHz and data rates up to 1333 Mb/s.
• Buy the capability you need now and upgrade as your measurement needs grow.
• Quickly isolate events through a simple and intuitive drag-and-drop trigger setup.
• Easily summarize your design's performance with sophisticated drag-and-drop measurements such as frequency, period, pulse width, duty cycle, and edge count.
• View data in a variety of time-correlated formats including waveform, listing, graph, disassembly, source code, or compare.

Oscilloscope integration

The TLA6400 seamlessly integrates with Tektronix oscilloscopes to make it easy to find problems that cross between the digital and analog portions of a design.

Probing

The TLA6400 with iCapture can be used as flexible and convenient probe system for your oscilloscope. It allows you to use one probe for both your logic analyzer and your oscilloscope eliminating the need to double-probe signals. With a single probe, you can view both the digital and analog characteristics of the signal.

You can route up to four analog signals through the TLA6400's 2 GHz analog mux to your oscilloscope and change the signals you are viewing with just a mouse click. This eliminates the need to physically move an oscilloscope probe to make a new measurement

Display and triggering

In addition to integrated probing, iView allows time-correlated logic analyzer and oscilloscope waveforms to be integrated into a single TLA6400 waveform window simplifying viewing and analysis. You can also trigger the oscilloscope from the logic analyzer or have the oscilloscope trigger the logic analyzer.

The connection between the TLA6400 and the oscilloscope consists of two BNC cables for cross triggering and a data connection to transfer data between the instruments. The data connection can be GPIB, USB, or a LAN connection.

This seamless integration not only helps you troubleshoot functional issues in your design, but also helps you find signal integrity problems caused by crosstalk, termination mismatches, ground bounce, and other issues.

Use the TLA6400's glitch trigger to monitor selected signals in your design and trigger when a signal integrity problem is found on any one of these signals. Signals with suspected signal integrity problems can also be tagged allowing you to quickly identify the signals of interest.

The analog nature of the suspected signals can then be routed to an oscilloscope using the exclusive iCapture functionality and viewed in the TLA6400 using iView.
