Logic analyser offers up to 136 channels at 2GHz
An extended range of the Tektronix TLA600 Series of logic analysers with up to 136 channels is now available from Thurlby Thandar Instruments.
Compact bench power supply provides 175W
The EX355, new from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments), is a single-output laboratory DC power supply providing an output from 0 to 35V at 0 to 5A.
Programmable power-supplies offer outputs to 1kW
The XHR range of programmable power supplies, offering output ratings up to 1 kW is power-factor corrected for low current draw and reduced generation of input current harmonics.
The range has been specifically designed for engineers who need to quickly identify hardware and software problems that can delay the product development cycle.
The need for this product has been driven by the need to develop domestic products containing embedded microprocessors such as mobile telephones, set-top boxes, video gaming consoles and smart appliances, together with the increasing reliance upon microprocessor technology in the automobile industry.
The TLA600 series provides unprecedented measurement performance using a breakthrough acquisition technology called MagniVu.
With this technology, all incoming data are always oversampled at 2GHz.
The oversampled data are then processed in real time to perform timing acquisition, state acquisition and triggering without missing crucial timing information on any channel.
By storing timing information in this high-speed acquisition memory at the full 2GHz rate, all TLA600 logic analysers offer 500ps timing resolution on all channels, all the time.
The series offers standard configurations with state acquisitions up to 100MHz for common applications and optional 200MHz configurations for leading-edge applications.
Since all clocks and data are oversampled at a 2GHz rate and processed in real time to provide 200MHz synchronous acquisitions, each data sample is time-stamped with 500ps resolution.
Even high-speed double-pumped circuits can be easily supported with datarates up to 400MHz in half-channel mode.
General-purpose timing and state acquisition are provided simultaneously, giving 500ps timing and up to 200MHz state acquisition at the same time, through the same probe.
Users no longer have to connect a second set of timing probes to a circuit from which they are already acquiring state data.
The TLA601 and TLA602 use an external PC monitor and are attractive to users who work remotely over a network, have limited space or need additional cost savings.
The other models come with an internal display.
Prices start at GBP 5465 (plus VAT) for the TLA601.
