Hypertransport Bus Support Package for TLA7xx Logic Analyzers
Overview
Support consists of a set of probes to connect the target to the preprocessor (PP), a preprocessor unit to precondition and logically filter the signals for the logic analyzer, and disassembly and other support software to facilitate viewing the captured data and controlling the parameters of capture.
Key Features
- Support for 1.4 GHz clock, 2.8Gbps/pin HT bus, 8 and 16 bits
- Tektronix P6880/P6980 SiGe surface mount active probes (no target socket) to maximize system signal integrity
- Static clock design (no PLLs) allows analyzer to track through bus clock changes
- Support for 3 additional user signals (subsampled) to pass through to the LA
- Interactive GUI-to-preprocessor interface via USB 2.0 for setup and code update
- Preprocessor firmware is user-updatable to support field feature and other upgrades
- Preprocessor provides one or two modules (PPModules) for uni- or bi-directional link support
- Preprocessor monitors HT reset protocol to identify bit-time 0; performs data alignment, packing
- Preprocessor supports triggering based on packet field comparisons
- Preprocessor supports filtering based on packet type
- Bi-directional link support includes cross-trigger for query-response correlation
- HT Periodic CRC calculation performed in real-time; trigger-on-CRC-error provided
- Disassembly identifies HT packets and packet field values
- PP Test pattern for self-test from probe tip through the LA
- "Link Good" LED for verifying connectivity
Pricing
| Description | List Price |
|---|---|
| 1 PPModule 8-bit | $27,000.00 |
| 2 PPModules 8-bit | $48,000.00 |
| 1 PPModule 8/16 bit | $36,000.00 |

One Preprocessor assembly can contain one or two PP Modules. Each PPModule requires one 136-channel LA module 7AA4 with 450 MHz State Option Each PP module comes with the necessary P6880 or P6980 probe set and backend cable. Users do not need to purchase additional logic analyzer probes.
