Preface: Microprocessor Support Documentation
This instruction manual contains specific information about the TMS 105 386SX
microprocessor support package and is part of a set of information on how to
operate this product on compatible Tektronix logic analyzers.
If you are familiar with operating microprocessor support packages on the logic
analyzer for which the TMS 105 386SX support was purchased, you will
probably only need this instruction manual to set up and run the support.
If you are not familiar with operating microprocessor support packages, you will
need to supplement this instruction manual with information on basic operations
to set up and run the support.
Information on basic operations of microprocessor support packages is included
with each product. Each logic analyzer has basic information that describes how
to perform tasks common to support packages on that platform. This information
can be in the form of online help, an installation manual, or a user manual.
This manual provides detailed information on the following topics:
HConnecting the logic analyzer to the system under test
Manual Conventions
HSetting up the logic analyzer to acquire data from the system under test
HAcquiring and viewing disassembled data
HUsing the probe adapter
This manual uses the following conventions:
HThe term disassembler refers to the software that disassembles bus cycles
into instruction mnemonics and cycle types.
HThe phrase “information on basic operations” refers to online help, an
installation manual, or a basic operations of microprocessor supports user
manual.
HIn the information on basic operations, the term XXX or P54C used in field
selections and file names must be replaced with 386SXA. This is the name of
the microprocessor in field selections and file names you must use to operate
the 386SX support.
HThe term system under test (SUT) refers to the microprocessor-based system
from which data will be acquired.

Support Description
This chapter provides information on the following topics and tasks:
HA description of the TMS 105 microprocessor support package
HLogic analyzer software compatibility
HYour system under test requirements
HSupport restrictions
HHow to configure the probe adapter
HHow to connect to the system under test (SUT)
The TMS 105 microprocessor support package disassembles data from systems
that are based on the Intel or AMD 386SX microprocessor. The support runs on
a compatible Tektronix logic analyzer equipped with a 102/136-channel module
or a 96-channel module.
Refer to information on basic operations to determine how many modules and
probes your logic analyzer needs to meet the minimum channel requirements for
the TMS 105 microprocessor support.
Table 1–1 shows the microprocessors and packages from which the TMS 105
support can acquire and disassemble data.
Information on basic operations also contains a general description of supports.
Logic Analyzer Software Compatibility
The label on the microprocessor support floppy disk states which version of logic
analyzer software the support is compatible with.
Logic Analyzer Configuration
To use the 386SXA support, the Tektronix logic analyzer must be equipped with
either a 102/136-channel module, or a 96-channel module at a minimum. The
module must be equipped with enough probes to acquire channel and clock data
from signals in your 386SX-based system.
Refer to information on basic operations to determine how many modules and
probes the logic analyzer needs to meet the channel requirements.
Requirements and Restrictions
You should review the general requirements and restrictions of microprocessor
supports in the information on basic operations as they pertain to your SUT.
You should also review electrical, environmental, and mechanical specifications
in the Specifications chapter in this manual as they pertain to your system under
test, as well as the following descriptions of other 386SX support requirements
and restrictions.
System Clock Rate. The TMS 105 support can acquire data from the 386SX
microprocessor at speeds of up to 25 MHz

Configuring the Probe Adapter
The probe adapter does not require any configuration.
Connecting to a System Under Test
Before you connect to the SUT, you must connect the probes to the module.
Your SUT must also have a minimum amount of clear space surrounding the
microprocessor to accommodate the probe adapter. Refer to the Specifications
chapter in this manual for the required clearances.
The channel and clock probes shown in this chapter are for a 102/136-channel
module. The probes will look different if you are using a 96-channel module.
The general requirements and restrictions of microprocessor supports in the
information on basic operations shows the vertical dimensions of a channel or
clock probe connected to square pins on a circuit board.
Getting Started
PQFP Probe Adapter
To connect the logic analyzer to a SUT using a PQFP probe adapter, follow these
steps:
1. Turn off power to your SUT. It is not necessary to turn off the logic analyzer.
CAUTION. Static discharge can damage the microprocessor, the probe adapter,
the probes, or the module. To prevent static damage, handle all the above only in
a static-free environment.
Always wear a grounding wrist strap or similar device while handling the
microprocessor and probe adapter.
2. To discharge your stored static electricity, touch the ground connector located
on the back of the logic analyzer. Then, touch any of the ground pins of the
probe adapter to discharge stored static electricity from the probe adapter.
3. Place the probe adapter onto the antistatic shipping foam to support the probe
as shown Figure 1–1. This prevents the circuit board from flexing.
4. Connect the channel and clock probes to the probe adapter as shown in
Figure 1–1. Match the channel groups and numbers on the probe labels to the
corresponding pins on the probe adapter. Match the ground pins on the
probes to the corresponding pins on the probe adapter.

probe adapter. Do not hold them by
the cables or necks of the podlets.

CAUTION. This JEDEC
PQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Pack) probe adapter has been
equipped with a clip that has been designed for tight tolerances.
The clip supports only Plastic Quad Flat Pack devices that conform to the
JEDEC M0-069 October 1990 specification. Attaching the clip to a device that
does not conform to this JEDEC standard can easily damage the clip’s connection pins and/or the microprocessor, causing the probe adapter to malfunction.
Please contact your IC manufacturer to verify that the microprocessor you are
targeting conforms to the JEDEC specification.
For best performance and long probe life, exercise extreme care when connecting
the probe to the microprocessor.
5. Line up the pin 1 indicator on the microprocessor with the pin 1 indicator on
the target head of the circuit board.

CAUTION. Failure to correctly place the probe adapter onto the microprocessor
might permanently damage all electrical components when power is applied.
Center the clip on the microprocessor and apply an equal downward force on all
four sides of the clip, slightly rocking the probe adapter in a clockwise circle.
Do not apply leverage to the probe adapter when installing or removing it.
6. Place the probe adapter onto the SUT as shown in Figure 1–2.
Figure 1–2: Placing a PQFP probe adapter onto the SUT
CAUTION. The probe adapter board might slip off or slip to one side of the
microprocessor because of the extra weight of the probes. This can damage the
microprocessor
and the SUT. To prevent this from occurring, stabilize the probe
adapter by placing a non-conductive object (such as foam) between the probe
adapter and the SUT.

Getting Started
Without a Probe Adapter
You can use channel probes, clock probes, and leadsets with a commercial test
clip (or adapter) to make connections between the logic analyzer and your SUT.
To connect the probes to 386SX signals in the SUT using a test clip, follow these
steps:
1. Turn off power to your SUT. It is not necessary to turn off power to the logic
analyzer.
CAUTION. Static discharge can damage the microprocessor, the probes, or the
module. To prevent static damage, handle all of the above only in a static-free
environment.
Always wear a grounding wrist strap or similar device while handling the
microprocessor.
2. To discharge your stored static electricity, touch the ground connector located
on the back of the logic analyzer. If you are using a test clip, touch any of the
ground pins on the clip to discharge stored static electricity from it.
3. Use Table 1–2 to connect the channel probes to 386SX signal pins on the test
clip or in the SUT.
Use leadsets to connect at least one ground lead from each channel probe and
the ground lead from each clock probe to ground pins on your test clip.
