Operating Basics
Product Description
The DAS Mass Termination Interface (MTIF) allows you to connect 100 logic
analyzer channels to a Tektronix Microprocessor Support (TMS) probe adapter or
directly to your system under test (SUT) in one fourth the physical area needed to
connect standard probes. The vertical clearance dimension is less than a half inch
when used with the Low-Profile Extender.
To connect directly to your SUT, you must include compatible Mictor connectors
in your circuit board design. To do this, be sure you understand the requirements
and conform to the guidelines in these instructions for designing an interface.
This section contains a product description and information on how to connect
the DAS MTIF to and disconnect it from a SUT.
The DAS MTIF has four parts: one DAS MTIF adapter and three DAS MTIF
probes. Connectors on one side of the adapter accommodate four 92AC96 cables.
The connectors on the other side of the adapter accommodate the probes.
One end of each probe is called the probe tip and connects to your SUT. The
other end is called the interface end. Figure 1 shows the DAS MTIF.

Operating Basics
Connecting the DAS MTIF to the SUT
Each DAS MTIF probe can connect to surface-mounted or straddle-mounted
Mictor connectors. You can use the Low-Profile Extender (available as an
optional accessory) to connect the probe to systems with as little as a half inch of
clearance between circuit boards. You can also install an optional latch housing
around the connector to provide positive retention of the probe.
In the following procedures, a surface-mounted Mictor connector is shown in the
figures. These procedures are the same for the straddle-mounted connector.
Direct Connection
To connect the DAS MTIF to a Mictor connector in your SUT (or on a TMS
probe adapter), follow these steps:
1. Line up the pin 1 indicator on the probe tip with pin 1 on the connector in
your SUT. The Mictor connector is keyed to prevent incorrect connections.
CAUTION. Incorrect handling of the probe while connecting it to the SUT can
result in damage to the DAS MTIF probe or to the mating connector in the SUT.
To avoid damaging the probe and SUT, always position the probe perpendicular
to the mating connector and gently connect the probe.
2. Position the probe tip perpendicular to the mating connector and gently
connect the probe as shown in Figure 2.
3. When connected, push down the latch releases on the probe to set the latch.

You can use the Low-Profile Extender to connect the DAS MTIF to systems with
as little as a half inch of clearance between circuit boards. The extender connects
to Mictor connectors with or without a latch housing.
To connect the DAS MTIF probe using the extender, follow these steps:
1. Line up the pin 1 indicator on the low-profile end of the extender with pin 1
on the connector in your SUT. The Mictor connector is keyed to prevent
incorrect connections.
2. Position the low-profile end perpendicular to the connector and gently
connect the extender as shown in Figure 3.
3. To connect the DAS MTIF probe to the other end of the extender, follow
steps 1 through 3 in the Direct Connection procedure on page 2.

Dimensions and Placement of Compatible Mictor Connectors
You can use compatible surface-mounted or straddle-mounted Mictor connectors
in your circuit board design. The connectors should be placed as close as possible
to the device under test.
The placement of Mictor connectors depends on whether you plan to connect the
DAS MTIF directly to the SUT or use the Low-Profile Extender with the probe.

The vertical clearance dimension for the probe is 1.25 inches. Figure 11 shows
this dimension.
When placing Mictor connectors in your SUT for use with an extender, you need
to keep one inch of clear space on the pin 1 side from the center of the Mictor
connector in your SUT.
NOTE. Be sure to orient pin 1 on the Mictor connector in your SUT to direct the
extender off the board as shown in Figure 3.

Pin 1 Indicator
Be sure to place a pin 1 indicator on your circuit board during design. If you
include the latch housing in your design, it will obscure the pin 1 indicator on the
Mictor connector. Although the Mictor connector is keyed, you still need to
know the location of pin 1 when connecting the DAS MTIF probe.
Loading and Equivalent Circuits
The load presented to the SUT by the DAS MTIF is low. The load is equivalent
to a 10 pF capacitance with 100 kW resistance returned to a +3.1 V supply. The
following approximation of the probe loading is sufficient for most circuit
simulation calculations.
Figure 9 shows the equivalent circuit of the DAS MTIF. Tables 2 and 3 show the
values you can use to calculate characteristics of the Lossy1 and Lossy2 delay
lines shown in the next two figures.

Figure 9: Equivalent circuit for the DAS MTIF
The Low-Profile Extender used with the DAS MTIF increases the load. The
additional load is equivalent to a 100 W resistor connected in series with
approximately three inches of 75 W coaxial cable to the probe tip.
Although the extender can increase the loading significantly, using the extender
might be necessary in situations where there is as little as half an inch of
clearance.
The extender is useful in a SUT where signal risetimes are greater than one or
two nanoseconds. Faster risetimes cause transmission line reflections on signals.

DAS MTIF Channel Assignments
The 100 channels to which the 92A96 cables connect on the logic analyzer
cannot be changed. When mapping signals from your SUT to channels on the
logic analyzer, you must keep the probe section and clock channels together for
the A, C and D DAS MTIF probes.
Each probe tip connector has 43 pins; pins 39 through 43 are the five ground
pins. Pins 1, 2, 37 and 38 are unused and should be connected to ground.

Maintenance
The DAS MTIF does not require scheduled or periodic maintenance. To maintain
good electrical contact, keep the product free of dirt, dust, and contaminants.
Also, ensure that any electrically conductive contaminants are removed.
Dirt and dust can usually be removed with a soft brush. For more extensive
cleaning, use only a damp cloth. Abrasive cleaners and organic solvents should
never be used.
CAUTION. The component devices contained on the DAS MTIF are susceptible to
static-discharge damage. To prevent damage, service the probe only in a
static-free environment.
If the probe is connected to the SUT, grasp the ground connector on the back of
the logic analyzer to discharge your stored static electricity. If the probe is not
connected, touch the antistatic bag to discharge stored static electricity from the
probe.
Always wear a grounding wrist strap, or similar device, while servicing the
instrument.
If you connect and disconnect the DAS MTIF probes frequently, you should
occasionally use a magnifying glass to examine the contact points on the probe
tip, the interface end and on the mating connectors. If contacts have been
dislocated from their proper position, you can use a pair of small tweezers (such
as a #3 to #5 ), to carefully move the contacts back into place.
