Tektronix, Inc., a leading worldwide provider of test, measurement and
monitoring instrumentation has introduced the TLA6400 Series of portable logic analyzers that
combine high performance and affordability making it ideal for a wide range of
embedded system debug and validation applications.
The TLA6400
Series is available in 34, 68, 102, and 136 channel
configurations and comes with 25 GS/s high-speed timing resolution, up to 667
MHz state timing, up to 64 Mb record length, and Tektronix' exclusive iCapture
functionality - all at a price point representing a significant
price-performance breakthrough.
"The reality in today's world is that our customers are demanding
more and more performance and functionality coupled with ease of use and
budget-friendly pricing," said Brian Reich, general manager, Performance
Products at Tektronix. "The TLA6400 is the perfect antidote; giving
engineers working on digital systems a powerful and affordable weapon in their
bug-fighting arsenal."
Performance, features, ease-of-use
Higher signal speeds as well as shorter setup and hold times in digital systems have increased the timing resolution needed to characterize and debug timing issues. With 25 GS/s MagniVu (40 ps) high-resolution timing, the TLA6400 offers 6 times the timing resolution of other logic analyzers giving even the most cost conscious engineers the additional performance needed to accurately determine timing relationships between signals of interest. The TLA6400 also can capture buses with clock rates up to 667 MHz and data rates up to 1333 Mb/s.

The TLA6400 Series further enhances engineering productivity with
advanced features like:
- iCaptureTM multiplexing that eliminates double probing with simultaneous digital and analog acquisition through a single logic analyzer probe.
- Glitch trigger and storage that allows users to trigger on and display observed signal integrity faults.
- iViewTM which provides seamless integration between the TLA6400 and over 100 Tektronix oscilloscopes to provide a time-correlated view of both logic analyzer and oscilloscope data on the same display.
The TLA6400 also delivers quick and intuitive operation that saves time
in busy lab environments. Usability features include a familiar Microsoft
Windows 7 interface, drag and drop triggering and drag and drop measurements.
These usability innovations have been proven to save time, remove complexity,
and reduce measurement uncertainty.
The TLA6400 is well suited for a broad range of debug and analysis
applications including signal integrity analysis, FPGA debug and verification,
memory system validation, and embedded software integration and debug. The
signal analysis solution is completed with the addition of new P5900 Series
logic analyzer probes that offer lower capacitive loading (1 pF) to accurately
acquire signals with faster edges without distorting the signal.
