Agilent 16760A Data Sheet

Save time while increasing your confidence in the reliability of high-speed bus design.
• New eye scan feature saves you time validating signal integrity by measuring eye diagrams on hun­dreds of channels simultaneously, without having to move connectors.
• Low capacitive probe loading minimizes disturbance of your high-speed bus.
• Differential inputs are compatible with LVDS, HSTL, and other high-speed differential signals.
• 64 Msamples acquisition memory (128 M in 1.5 Gb/s mode) helps you solve problems in complex systems.
• Visitrigger enables you to easily customize a trigger for your specific task.
• Transitional timing saves memory by storing only transitions.

Agilent Technologies 16760A Logic Analyzer Module
Logic Analysis and Eye Diagram Measurements up to 1.5 Gbits/second
The 16760A logic analysis module provides eye diagram measurements as well as conventional state and timing measurements on differential signals up to 1.5 Gbits/second. Low-capacitance, high-density probes provide minimum loading of your high-speed bus.
Signal Integrity Validation
With eye scan, you can make eye diagram measurements on hundreds of nodes simultaneously. You can now bolster your confidence in the signal integrity of your design without stretching the schedule.
Differential Signals
Many high-speed designs use differen­tial signaling to minimize simultane­ous switching noise and to provide immunity to crosstalk and noise. The differential inputs of the Agilent 16760A allow you to acquire differen­tial signals with complete confidence. Single-ended probes are also available.
Small-Amplitude Signals
Many high-speed designs use small sig­nal amplitudes to limit slew rates and reduce power. The 16760A can make reliable measurements on differential signals as small as 200 mV p-p.
Setup and Hold
As state speeds increase, the data valid window shrinks. To make reliable measurements, a logic analyzer’s combined setup and hold window must be smaller than the data valid window of the signals it is acquiring. The Agilent 16760A has a combined setup and hold time of 500 ps after running eye finder, matching the data valid window of very high-speed buses.
Agilent’s eye finder technology auto­matically adjusts the setup and hold on each channel with 10 ps resolution, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and ensuring the highest confidence in accurate state measurements at speeds up to
1.5 Gbits/second.
Probes to complete the connection to your target must be ordered separately.
Three probes are available for the 16760A. Each of these probes requires a mating connector on the target system PC board. Refer to “Probing Solutions for Agilent Technologies Logic Analysis Systems” 5968-4632E, for more details.
