TLA6000 Series Data Sheet
Features & Benefits
Comprehensive Set of Signal Integrity Tools that Allow You to Quickly
Isolate, Identify, and Debug Complex Signal Integrity Issues
Glitch Trigger and Storage – Allows you to trigger on and highlight
al signal integrity problems. Not only can the TLA6000 Series
potenti
trigger on the problem, but by highlighting suspected problems in
red, you will be able to easily determine which signals you need to
investigate further
iCapture – Route the suspected signal to the analog output of the
TLA6000 using the exclusive Tektronix iCapture feature. Th is
tes the need to double-probe with an oscilloscope probe,
elimina
reducing time to debug
iView – Time-correlated view of both logic analyzer and oscilloscope
data to trace the SI p roblem across the digital and analog domain

Efficiently Debug and Validate Your Digital
System at a Price You Will Like!
The affordable TLA6000 Series of logic analyzers offer the performance
needed to debug, validate, and optimize the functionality of your digital
system. The TLA6000 Series also provides a comprehensive set of signal
integrity deb
ug tools that allow you quickly isolate, identify, and characterize
elusive and hard-to-fin d problems. Add a broad range of support for today’s
applications, and you have the ideal tool to help you meet all of the debug
challenges of today’s digital designs.
The TLA6000 Series allows you to effectively validate and d ebug the
functionality of your digital designs:
Use the patented 8 GHz Mag niVu technology to accurately measure
timing relationships. The single, integrated acquisition architecture of the
TLA6000 Series eliminates the timing skew problems inherent in other
logic analyzer architectures
Capture on buses with clock rates up to 800 MHz and data rates up to
1.25 Gb/s
Buy the capability you need now and upgrade as your measurement
needs grow
Quickly isolate events through a simple and intuitive drag-and-drop
trigger setup
Easily summarize your design’s performance with sophisticated
drag-and-drop measurements such as frequency, period, pulse width,
duty cycle, and edge count
View data in a variety of time-correlated formats including waveform,
listing, graph, disassembly, source code, or compare
Find Tough Signal Integrity Problems
Today’s logic analyzers not only need to help troubleshoot functional issues
in your design, but also need to help find signal integrity problems caused
by crosst
help debug these problems, the TLA6000 Series includes a comprehensive
suite of signal debug tools.
These tools allow you to:
alk, termination mismatches, ground bounce, and other issu es. To
Use glitch trigger to monitor selected signals in your design and trigger
when a signal integrity problem is found on any one of these signals
Automatically tag any found signal integrity problems, allowing you to
quickly identify the signals of interest
Gain more insight into the problem using the exclusive iCapture
functionality to view both digital and analog data through a single probe
Use iView to see time-correlated digital and analog displays of you r
data, letting you track the signal integrity problem across both analog
and digital domains
