TLA7NAx Logic Analyzer Modules

Characteristics

General

Number of Channels (all channels are acquired including clocks) - TLA7NA1: 34 channels (2 are clock channels).

TLA7NA2: 68 channels (4 are clock channels).

TLA7NA3: 102 channels (4 are clock and 2 are qualifier channels).

TLA7NA4: 136 channels (4 are clock and 4 are qualifier channels).

Channel Grouping: No limit to number of groups or number of channels per group (all channels can be reused in multiple groups).

Module "Merging" - Up to five 102 channel or 136 channel modules can be "merged" to make up to a 680 channel module. Merged modules exhibit the same depth and state speed as the lesser of the five individual modules. Word/setup-and-hold/glitch/transition recognizers span all five modules. Range recognizers limited to three module merge. Only one set of clock connections is required.

Clocking/Acquisition Modes - Internal, internal 2X, internal 4X, external, external 450 (with option 45 only). 8 GHz MagniVu high-speed timing is available simultaneous with all modes.

Number of Mainframe Slots Required per TLA Series Module -  2.
