New logic analyzers from Tektronix

Tektronix has unveiled the TLA6000 Series of logic analyzers, which brings powerful high-end debug and analysis to mainstream embedded systems designers. The TLA6000 Series delivers performance and functional capability previously found on TLA7000 Series of instruments while offering more capabilities than the portable TLA5000 Series models.

The TLA6000 series provides engineers with a complete toolset to find, isolate and debug issues such as crosstalk, ground bounce, and ringing that can result in functional failures of the digital system

"With the TLA6000 Series we are expanding our logic analyzer portfolio and in the process delivering the industry's most complete tool for resolving complex signal integrity issues," said Dave Farrell, director, Logic Analyzer Product Line, Tektronix. "Among the rich set of capabilities are a comprehensive suite of signal integrity tools, superior performance and ease-of-use with features like drag and drop triggering, coupled with advanced analysis tools for digital system applications such as FPGAs, DDR, and MIPI."

The TLA6000 Series is available in 68, 102, and 136 digital channel configurations with 125 ps high speed timing on all channels, up to 450 MHz state timing and up to 128 Mb record length. The TLA6000 Series employs iCapture multiplexing to eliminate double probing with simultaneous digital and analog acquisition through a single logic analyzer probe. Glitch trigger and storage allows users to trigger on and display observed signal integrity faults, while the iViewTM display provides a time-correlated view of both logic analyzer and oscilloscope data on the same display.

The TLA6000 Series is suggested for a broad range of debug and analysis applications such as signal integrity analysis, FPGA debug and verification, MIPI protocol analysis, memory system validation, and embedded software integration and debug.
