TMSSY2 mPGA479 Socket Hardware Support
Getting Started
The TMSSY2 support product (preprocessor unit) is an interposer design that
allows the logic analyzer to acquire data from a microprocessor in the operating
environment with little affect on the SUT.
To accomplish this, the probe adapter (preprocessor unit and probe head) is
connected to the SUT, and then the microprocessor is connected to the probe
adapter. Signals from the microprocessor-based system flow through the probe
adapter cables to the logic analyzer where the loaded support software disassembles data acquired from the SUT.
The TMSSY2 support product includes:
HTMSSY2 preprocessor unit
HCD-ROM with PUB32G15 support software and instruction manual
NOTE. To acquire signals from the SUT you also need compatible cables, probes,
and probe head to complete the connection between the logic analyzer and the
SUT. Contact your Tektronix sales representative for information about these
other products.
For optional and standard accessories for this product, see Accessories on
page 29.

Getting Started
Logic Analyzer Configuration
To use the probe adapter to acquire state signals, you need a Tektronix Logic
Analyzer equipped with four, merged 235 MHz, TLA7Ax4 logic analyzer
modules.
The modules must be configured and merged as shown in Figure 1. The memory
depth is automatically based on the shallowest memory depth of the modules.
The term Master module refers to the second module of a 4-wide module
configuration. (See Figure 1). The term Slave module refers to the modules to
the left or right of the Master module.

Figure 1: Master and Slave module configuration
All signals are acquired through probes connected to the logic analyzer. Use the
logic analyzer modules and the P6960 probes to connect to the probe adapter.
The probes should already be labeled; if you need to apply labels, refer to the
instructions that came with your probe documentation.
CAUTION. To prevent damage to the P6960 connectors on the preprocessor unit,
Tektronix recommends that you use the strain relief method that is described in
the P69XX Series Instruction Manual, Tektronix part number 071-1528-XX, after

Specifications
Circuit Description
The probe adapter hardware uses a custom ASIC to preprocess the 4x (Quad
Pumped) Signals before the signals are captured by the logic analyzer. The
custom ASIC performs the following functions:
HDeterministically synchronizes source-synchronous signals to BCLK
All other signals are buffered and amplified in the probe adapter hardware before
being captured by the logic analyzer.
Latched Operation
Signal Probing
Bus Tracking Logic
The microprocessor signals are processed in the probe adapter according to their
type. Following is a description of each type:
4x Quad-Pumped Signals. These signals include D[63:00]# and DBI[3:0]#. The
ASIC latches these signals using their dedicated strobes, STBP[3:0] and
STBN[3:0], and then performs four-way demultiplexing on these signals. The
ASIC also inverts the appropriate signals when the DBI[3:0] signals are active.
2x Double-Pumped Signals. These signals include A[39:03]# and REQ[4:0]#. The
logic analyzer latches these signals using their dedicated strobes, ASTB[1:0],
and then performs two-way demultiplexing on these signals.
1x Common-Clock Signals. These signals include all of the remaining front-side bus
signals. The logic analyzer latches these signals using the rising edge of BCLK.
The probe adapters use passive series isolation to acquire data.
The probe adapter uses a bus tracking PAL to aid the disassembly software in
linking various bus phases.

Pollution Degree
Descriptions
Pollution Degree
A measure of the contaminates that could occur in the environment around and
within a product. Typically the internal environment inside a product is
considered to be the same as the external. Products should be used only in the
environment for which they are rated.
HPollution Degree 1. No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution
occurs. Products in this category are generally encapsulated, hermetically
sealed, or located in clean rooms.
HPollution Degree 2. Normally only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs.
Occasionally a temporary conductivity that is caused by condensation must
be expected. This location is a typical office/home environment. Temporary
condensation occurs only when the product is out of service.
HPollution Degree 3. Conductive pollution, or dry, nonconductive pollution
that becomes conductive due to condensation. These are sheltered locations
where neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. The area is protected
from direct sunshine, rain, or direct wind.
HPollution Degree 4. Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through
conductive dust, rain, or snow. Typical outdoor locations.
Pollution Degree 2 (as defined in IEC 61010-1). Note: Rated for indoor use only.

Apply TMSCAB1 Labels
To attach labels to the module- and preprocessor ends of the TMSCAB1 cables,
use the following instructions.
NOTE. Always use flat-nosed tweezers to remove the labels from the sheet of
labels. Never peel labels with your fingers. The labels are made of soft vinyl and
can stretch and distort easily. To avoid stretching the label, always grasp it from
the top right corner while removing it from the sheet of labels.
The adhesive on the vinyl labels is extremely strong. Carefully align the label to
the indented outline on the module end and preprocessor unit end. Once labels
are placed on the TMSCAB1 cables, they are difficult to remove.
1. Determine which channel groups you plan to use and identify the matching
labels.
2. Follow the steps in Figure 17 while attaching the labels.

Disabling the Cache
(disassembly)
The TMSSY2 hardware support can acquire data from the microprocessor
operating at speeds of up to 200 MHz.
Contact your Tektronix sales representative for current information on the fastest
devices supported.
If data is acquired before a processor Reset signal is observed by the preprocessor unit, the data acquired by the logic analyzer will be inaccurate.
The TMSSY2 product supports only a quad-pumped data bus.
The TMSSY2 product supports only a double-pumped address bus.
The cache bus is not observable; therefore, disassembly requires that the cache
must be disabled. Disabling the cache makes all instruction prefetches visible on
the bus so that they are acquired, displayed and correctly disassembled.
