1
All system trigger and external signal input latencies are measured from a falling-edge transition (active true low) with signals measured in the wired-OR configuration.
2
In the Waveform window, triggers are always marked immediately except when delayed to the first sample. In the Listing window, triggers are always marked on the next sample period following their occurrence.
3
“Clk” represents the time to the next master clock at the destination logic analyzer. In the asynchronous (or internal) clock mode, this represents the delta time to the next sample clock beyond the minimum asynchronous rate of 4 ns. In the synchronous (or external) clock mode, this represents the time to the next master clock generated by the setup of the clocking state machine and the supplied system under test clocks and qualification data.
4
Signals 1 and 2 (ECLTRG0, 1) are limited to a “broadcast” mode of operation, where only one source is allowed to drive the signal node at any one time. That single source may be utilized to drive any combination of destinations.
5
SMPL represents the time from the event at the probe tip inputs to the next valid data sample. In the Normal Internal clock mode, this represents the delta time to the next sample clock. In the MagniVu Internal clock mode, this represents 500 ps or less. In the External clock mode, this represents the time to the next master clock generated by the setup of the clocking state machine, the system-under-test supplied clocks, and the qualification data.

Table 8: TLA600 trigger system (Cont.)
Characteristic Description
Storage Control
Global storage Storage is allowed only when a specif ic condition is met. This condition can use any
of the trigger machine resources except for the counter/timers. Storage commands defined in the current trigger state will override the global storage control.
Global storage can be used to start the acquisition with storage initially turned on (default) or turned off.
By event Storage can be turned on or off; only the current sample can be stored. The event
storage control overrides any global storage commands.
Block storage When enabled, 31 samples are stored before and after the valid sample.
Not allowed when glitch storage or setup and hold violation is enabled.
Glitch violation storage The acquisition memory can be enabled to store glitch violation information with each
data sample when asynchronous clocking is used. The probe data storage size is reduced by one half (the other half holds the violation information). The fastest asynchronous clocking rate is reduced to 10 ns.
Setup and hold violation storage The acquisition memory can be enabled to store setup and hold violation information
with each data sample when synchronous clocki ng is used. The probe data storage size is reduced by one half (the other half holds the violation information). The maximum clock rate is reduced by half.
1
Each use of External Signal In, glitch detector, setup and hold violation detector, or transition detector requires a trade-off of one word recognizer resource.
2
Any glitch is subject to pulse width variation of up to the channel-to-channel skew specification + 0.5 ns.
3
Any setup value is subject to variation of up to 1.8 ns; any hold value is subject to variation of up to 1.2 ns.

SMPL represents the time from the event at the probe tip inputs to the next valid data sample. In the Normal Internal clock mode, this represents the delta time to the next sample clock. In the MagniVu Internal clock mode, this represents 500 ps or less. In the External clock mode, this represents the time to the next master clock generated by the setup of the clocking state machine, the system-under-test supplied clocks, and the qualification data.

Characteristic Description
Storage Control
Global storage Storage is allowed only when a specif ic condition is met. This condition can use any
of the trigger machine resources except for the counter/timers. Storage commands defined in the current trigger state will override the global storage control.
Global storage can be used to start the acquisition with storage initially turned on (default) or turned off.
By event Storage can be turned on or off; only the current sample can be stored. The event
storage control overrides any global storage commands.
Block storage When enabled, 31 samples are stored before and after the valid sample.
Not allowed when glitch storage or setup and hold violation is enabled.
Glitch violation storage The acquisition memory can be enabled to store glitch violation information with each
data sample when asynchronous clocking is used. The probe data storage size is reduced by one half (the other half holds the violation information). The fastest asynchronous clocking rate is reduced to 4 ns.
Setup and hold violation storage The acquisition memory can be enabled to store setup and hold violation information
with each data sample when synchronous clocki ng is used. The probe data storage size is reduced by one half (the other half holds the violation information). The maximum clock rate in this mode is 235 MHz.
1
Each use of External Signal In, glitch detector, setup and hold violation detector, or transition detector requires a trade-off of one word recognizer resource.
2
Any glitch is subject to pulse width variation of up to the channel-to-channel skew specification + 0.25 ns.

Any setup value is subject to variation of up to the channel skew specification. Any hold value is subject to variation of the channel skew specifications.

SMPL represents the time from the event at the probe tip inputs to the next valid data sample of the LA module. In the Normal Internal clock mode, this represents the delta time to the next sample clock. In the Magni Vu Internal clock mode, this represents 500 ps or less. In the External clock mode, this represents the time to the next master clock generated by the setup of the clocking state machine, the system-under-test supplied clocks, and the qualification data.
2
All system trigger and external signal input latencies are measured from a falling-edge transition (active true low) with signals measured in the wired-OR configuration.
3
All signal output latencies are validated to the rising edge of an active (true) high output.
4
In the Waveform window, triggers are always marked immediately except when delayed to the first sample. In the Listing window, triggers are always marked on the next sample period following their occurrence.
5
Clkrepresents the time to the next master clock at the destin ation logic analyzer. In the asynchronous (or internal) clock mode, this represents the delta time to the next sample clock beyond the minimum asynchronous rate of 4 ns. In the synchronous (or external) clock mode, this represents the time to the next master clock generated by the setup of the clocking state machine and the supplied system under test clocks and qualification data.
6
Signals 1 and 2 are limited to a broadcastmode of operation, where only one source is allowed to d rive the signal node at any one time. That single source may be utilized to drive any combination of destinations.

Characteristic Description
Specifications and Characteristics
Merged module setup and hold window size (data and qualifiers) (Typical)
Maximum window size = Single module setup and hold + merge skew
When determining the required setup and hold window for merged modules, take into consideration if the slave modules local clocks are used to acquire data and if a merge deskew has been performed. If the slave module uses its own clocks to acquire data, then the typical and maximum setup and hold values are the same as a stand-alone module (the same is true for the master module itself). The only time the additional merge skew values apply is when the clocks on the master module acquire data on the slave modules. When a slave module acquires data using its own local clocks, merge skew = 0 ps When a slave module acquires data using clocks from the master module without merge deskew, merge skew = 375 ps When a slave module acquires data using clocks from the master module and has had merge deskew performed, merge skew = 125 ps.
Example using P6810, P6860, or P6880 probe with slave module acquiring data via clocks from the master module without merge deskew: Maximum window size = 750 ps + 375 ps =1.125 ns Typical window size = 625 ps + 375 ps = 1.000 ns
The user interface setup and hold window for merge applications is affected as follows by merge skew: Typical setup time = User interface setup time + (merge skew/2) Typical hold time = User interface hold time + (merge skew/2) Maximum setup time = User interface setup time + 75 ps + (merge skew/2) Maximum hold time = User interface hold time + 50 ps + (merge skew/2)
Example using P6810, P6860, or P6880 probe, with user interface default setup and hold time of 625/0 typical, and merge configuration that has had merge deskew performed: Typical setup time = 625 ps + (125 ps/2) = 688 ps Typical hold time = 0 ps + (125 ps/2) = 62 ps Maximum setup time = 625 ps + 75 ps + (125 ps/2) = 763 ps Maximum hold time = 0 ps + 50 ps + (125 ps/2) = 112 ps
Setup and hold window range For each channel, the setup and hold window can be moved from +8.0 ns (Tstypical)
to --8.0 ns (T
typical) in 0.125 ns steps (setup time).
s
The setup and hold window can be shifted toward the setup region by 0 ns, 4 ns, or 8ns.Witha0nsshift,therange is +8 ns to --8 ns; witha4nsshift,therange is +12 ns to --4 ns; with an 8 ns shift, the range is +16 ns to 0 ns. The sample point selection region is the same setup and hold window. Setup times are specified as typical figures. Hold time follows the setup time by the setup and hold window size.

Characteristic Description
Specifications and Characteristics
Time between Demultiplex clock edges
Same limitations as normal synchronous acquisition
(Typical)
Source synchronous clocking (TLA7Axx)
Clocks per module Four
Clocks with merged modules When merged, the slave modules have two clocks available from the master module.
Including the local clocks, the total is six clocks.
Clock groups Four for a single module and for a merged system
Size of clock group valid FIFO Four stages when operated at 235 MHz or below (three stages when operated above
235 MHz); this allows four (source synchronous or other) clocks to occur before the clock that completes the Clock Group Valid signal for that group.
Source synchronous clock alignment window Channel-to-channel skew only
Source synchronous clock reset The Clock Group Valid FIFO can be reset in one of the t wo ways:
1. By the overflow of a presettable (0--255) 8-bit counter that counts one of the following clocks: 2 ns Clock or the master heartbeat clock (synchronous or asynchronous). An active edge places the reset count to its preset value. An active clock edge will clear the Clock Group Valid reset before the clock gets to the FIFO so that no data is lost.
2. By enabling an external reset. I n this mode, one of the clock channels must be traded on the master module to act as a level-sensitive reset input. Any one of the clocks can be selected. A polarity selection is available. This mode affects all Clock Group Complete circuits.
Neither one of the above m odes can be intermixed; one or the other must be selected.
Clocking state machine
Pipeline delays Channel groups can be programmed with a pipeline delay of 0 through 7 active clock
changes.
1
Specification only applies with asynchronous (internal) clocking. With synchronous clocking, the setup and hold window size applies.
2
Any or all clock channels can be enabled. For an enabled clock channel, either the rising, falling, or both edges can be selected as active clock edges. Clock channels are stored.
3
Qualifier channels are stored.
4
This is a special mode and has some limitations such as the clocking state machine and trigger state machine only running at 500 MHz.

Missing channels for modules with fewer than 136 channels are omitted. When merged, the range recognition extends across the modules. The master module contains the most-significant groups.
Glitch detector (normal asynchronous clock mode)
Minimum detectable glitch pulse width (Typical)
Setup and hold violation detector (normal synchronous clock mode)
Channel groups can be enabled to detect glitches.
Glitches are subject to pulse width variations of up to ±125 ps
Minimum input pulse width (single channel) P6860, P6960 high density probe: 500 ps P6880, P6980 differential probe: 500 ps P6810 general purpose probe: 750 ps
Any channel can be enabled to detect a setup or hold violation. The range is from
8.0 ns before the clock edge to 8.0 ns after the clock edge in 0.125 ns steps. The channel setup and hold violation size can be individually programmed.
The range can be shifted towards the positive region by 0 ns, 4 ns, or 8 ns. With a 0 ns shift, the range is +8 ns to --8 ns; witha4nsshift,therange is +12 ns to --4 ns; with an 8 ns shift, the range is +16 ns to 0 ns. The sample point selection region is the same as the setup and hol d window.
Any setup value is subject to variation of up to the channel skew specification. Any hold value is subject to variation of up to the channel skew specification.
Transition detector 16 transition detectors.
Any channel group can be enabled or disabled to detect a rising transition, a falling transition, or both rising and falling transitions between the current valid data sample and the previous valid data sample.
Counter/timers 2 counter/timers, 51 bits wide, can be clocked up to 500 MHz
Maximum count is 2^50--1 (excluding sign bit) Maximum time is 4.5 × 10
Counters can be used as setable, resettable, and testable flags. Counters can be reset, do nothing, increased, or decreased. Timers can be reset, started, stopped, or not changed. Counters and timers have zero reset latency and one clock terminal count latency.

67
Specifications and Characteristics
Table 65: TLA7Axx/TLA7NAx module trigger system (Cont.)
Characteristic Description
Block storage (store stretch) When enabled, 31 samples are stored before and after the valid sample.
This allows the storage of a group of samples around a valid data sample when storage control is being used. This only has meaning when storage control is used. Block storage is disallowed when glitch storage or setup and hold violation storage is enabled.
Glitch violation storage Glitch violation information can be stored to acquisition memory with each data
sample when asynchronous clocking is used. The acquisit ion data storage size is reduced by half when t his mode is enabled (the other half holds violation information). The fastest asynchronous clock rate is reduced to 4 ns.
Setup and hold violation storage Setup and hold violation information can be stored to acquisition memory with each
data sample when synchronous clocking is used. The acquisition data storage size is reduced by half when t his mode is enabled (the other half holds violation information). The maximum synchronous clock rate in this mode is 235 MHz.
Table 66: MagniVu acquisition
Characteristic Description
MagniVu sampling period Data is asynchronously sampled and stored every 125 ps in a separate MagniVu
(high-resolution) memory. The storage speed can be changed by software to 250 ps, 500 ps, or 1000 ps with no loss in memory depth s o that the high resolution memory covers more time at a lower resolution.
MagniVu memory depth Approximately 16 K per channel. The MagniVu memory is separate from the main
acquisition memory.
Table 67: Merged modules
Characteristic Description
Number of merged modules 2, 3, 4, or 5 adjacent modules can be merged. Only 102-channel modules or
136-channel modules can be merged. Merged modules can have unequal channel widths and channel depths.
Number of channels after merging The sum of all channels available on each of the merged modules including clocks
and qualifiers. No channels are lost when modules are merged.
Merged system acquisition depth Channel depth is equal to that of the shallowest module.
Number of clock and qualifier channels after merging
The qualifier channels on the slave modules can only be used as data channels. They cannot influence the actual clocking function of the logic analyzer (for example, log strobe generation).
68
The clock channels on the slave TLA7Axx modules can capture data on those modules for source-synchronous applications. Each slave module contribut es four additional clock channels to the merged set. All clock and qualifier channels are stored to acquisition memory.

The limits given are for the ambient temperature range of 0 _Cto+30_C. Reduce the upper bandwidth frequencies by 5 MHz for each _C above +30 _C. The bandwidth must be set to FULL.
3
Rise time (rounded to the nearest 50 ps) is calculated from the bandwidth when Ful l Bandwi dth is selected. It is defined by the following formula:
Rise Time (ns) = 450  BW (MHz)
4
GND input coupling disconnects the input connector from the attenuator and connects a ground reference to the input of the attenuator.
5
The AC Coupled Lower Frequency Limits are reduced by a factor of 10 when 10X passive probes are used.
6
The sensitivity ranges from 10 mV to 100 V full scale in a 1- 2- 5 sequence of coarse settings. Between coarse settings, you can adjust the sensitivity with a resolution equal to 1% of the more sensitive coarse setting. For example, between the 500 mV and 1 V ranges, the sensitivity can be set with 5 mV resolution.

The first time that you take an acquisition after changing the horizontal scale setting on TDS1000 or TDS2000 series oscilloscopes, the TLA and TDS waveform edges may not be aligned within the listed specification. You can realign the waveform positions in the waveform window that contains the TDS1000/2000 data (Menu bar > Data > Time Alignment). Make sure that the external oscilloscope is the data source and then adjust the time offset to align the waveforms. Use the following approximate offsets for various horizontal scale settings:
Horizontal scale Time offset Horizontal scale Time offset Horizontal scale Time offset
10 ns --365 ns 25 ns --325 ns 50 ns --217 ns 100 ns --5 ns 250 ns --11 ns 500 ns --18 ns 1 s--12ns 2.5s--50ns 5s --120 ns 10 s --250 ns 25 s --650 ns 50 s --1300 ns 100 s --2600 ns 250 s +500 ns 500 s +1000 ns
