TLA5000 Series Logic Analyzers

TLA5201 • TLA5202 • TLA5203 • TLA5204

TLA5000 Series logic analyzers
combine debug power with
simplicity and affordability

The affordable TLA5000 Series logic

analyzers make high-speed timing

resolution, fast state acquisition, deep

memory and sophisticated triggering

available to any digital designer who

needs to identify initialization failures,

operation crashes and intermittent oper-

ation. For first-time as well as experienced

logic analyzer users, the TLA5000 Series

is ideal for single-bus timing and state

analysis. An intuitive user interface,

familiar Windows-based desktop and

OpenChoice

®

networking and analysis

features make the TLA5000 Series logic

analyzers easy to network into your

design environment.

500 ps timing resolution and 32 Mb

memory depth with simultaneous 125 ps

MagniVu timing resolution within each

acquisition means you can measure

digital signal timing on increasingly faster

signals with confidence. With MagniVu

timing resolution, find difficult problems

such as digital logic errors, glitches,

setup/hold violations and crosstalk

quickly. Use setup/hold violation triggering

and display to validate setup/hold

performance of digital devices.

Today, most designs can have both

digital and analog anomalies. With iView

time-correlated digital-analog view, you’ll

clearly see how analog anomalies are

affecting your digital signals—right on

your logic analyzer display.
