Features & Benefits

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 onto 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 be able to 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

Find Tough Signal Integrity Problems

Today’s logic analyzers not only need to help troubleshoot functional issues in your design, but also need to help find signal integrity problems caused by crosstalk, termination mismatches, ground bounce, and other issues. To help debug these problems, the TLA6400 Series includes a comprehensive suite of signal debug tools.

These tools allow you to:

Use glitch trigger to monitor selected signals in your design and trigger when a signal integrity problem is found on any one of these signals
Automatically tag any found signal integrity problems, allowing you to quickly identify the signals of interest
Gain more insight into the problem using the exclusive iCapture functionality to view both digital and analog data through a single probe
Use iView to see time-correlated digital and analog displays of your data, letting you track the signal integrity problem across both analog and digital domains

Leading Probing Solutions for Real-time Digital Systems Analysis P5900 Series Probes

No test and measurement solution is complete without probing and the consideration of its impact on your system and your measurement time. With the industry’s lowest probe loading, the P5900 Series logic analyzer probes protect the integrity of your signal – minimizing the impact on your design. The P5900 Series logic analyzer probes when used with TLA6400 Series logic analyzers make sophisticated logic analysis available at an affordable price.
