AXIe logic analyzer sets new speed record

Said to be the industry’s fastest logic analyzer, the U4154A AXIe-based logic analyzer module combines state capture speeds of 4 Gbits/s on 68 channels and 2.5 Gbits/s on 136 channels with the ability to reliably capture and display data on the industry’s smallest eye openings — as small as 100 ps by 100 mV. The instrument’s accurate probes and analysis software let engineers working with high-speed ASICs, ADCs, FPGAs, and DDR memory systems make essential measurements.

AXIe logic analyzer sets new speed record

The instrument’s timing zoom capability permits simultaneous state and timing measurements with 80-ps resolution and 256-ksample memory depth over a 20-µs time span. The trigger sequencer’s 2.5-Gbit/s speed allows reliable, flexible triggering.

The logic analyzer’s exclusive eye-scan capability gives a quick overview of signal integrity on all signals of a DDR system without an oscilloscope, in a fraction of the time it takes using alternative methods. Also, the instrument runs the B4622A DDR2/3 protocol-compliance and analysis tool to automate measurements on deep DDR bus traces and provide an overview of system performance.

A broad range of compatible probing solutions, including DDR BGA probes and interposers as well as soft-touch probes for midbus probing, are available. The logic analyzer module is compatible with the M9502A two-slot AXIe chassis, and multiple modules can be combined on a single time base and trigger sequencer. Further, multiple modular systems can be combined for time-correlated measurements on multiple buses in a system. (From $115,500 for 136 channels, with chassis and probe cables; probes are priced separately — available in April.)
