'World's fastest' logic analyser

25 May 2011 Test & Measurement

Agilent Technologies has introduced what it believes is the industry’s fastest logic analyser. The new instrument combines a capture speed of 4 Gbps on 68 channels and 2,5 Gbps on 136 channels with the ability to reliably capture data on eye openings as small as 100 ps by 100 mV. These capabilities allow engineers to measure the increasingly fast digital signals used in emerging technologies and validate and troubleshoot their designs with confidence.

The U4154A AXIe-based logic analyser module and associated probes and analysis software provide the capabilities required by engineers working with DDR (double data rate) memory systems, high-speed application-specific integrated chips, analog-to-digital converters and field-programmable gate arrays operating at speeds up to 4 Gbps.

Timing zoom provides simultaneous state and timing measurements with 80 ps timing resolution and 256 kilosample memory depth, which gives designers more insight into problems by allowing simultaneous state and high-resolution timing measurements over a 20 μs time span. A trigger sequencer speed of 2,5 Gbps provides the ability to trigger reliably on sequential events on DDR memory and other high-speed signals without having to give up triggering flexibility.
