Preface
Preface
This manual describes the basic operation and concepts of the Tektronix Logic Analyzer series instruments. The TLA5000B
Series Logic Analyzers are stand-alone products and the TLA7000 Series Logic Analyzers are con
fi
gurable modular
products. The TLA7000 Series Logic Analyzers can be con
fi
gured with a variety of logic analyzer modules and serial
analyzer modules. All logic analyzers have integrated operation capabilities with Tektronix oscilloscopes. This manual
supports the following instruments:
TLA5000B Series Logic Analyzers (TLA5201B, TLA5202B, TLA5203B, TLA5204B)
TLA7000 Series Mainframes (TLA7012, TLA7016) and their associated modules
Key Features
The Tektronix Logic Analyzers can help you verify and debug hardware designs, processor and bus designs, and embedded
software and hardware integration. Key features include:
34/68/102/136 channel logic analyzers
500 ps (2 GHz) 256 Mb deep timing analysis
125 ps (8 GHz) MagniVu high resolution timing acquisition simultaneous with deep timing or state acquisition to

Up to 235 MHz state acquisition analysis of synchronous digital circuits, TLA5000B series
Up to 800 MHz state acquisition analysis of synchronous digital circuits, TLA7Axx series
Up to 1400 MHz state acquisition analysis of synchronous digital circuits, TLA7Bxx series
Simultaneous state, high-speed timing and analog analysis through the same logic analyzer probe to pin-point elusive
faults without double probing, TLA7ACx series, TLA7Bxx series, and Tektronix oscilloscopes

Transitional storage extends the signal analysis capture time
Connectorless probing system with 0.5 pF total capacitive loading eliminates the need for on-board connectors,
minimizes intrusion on circuits, and is ideal for differential signal applications
Tektronix also offers the TLA7S08 and TLA7S16 serial analyzer modules for PCI Express validation of silicon, computer
systems, and embedded systems. Key features include:
8- and 16-channel serial analyzer modules with 32 M 8b/10b symbols memory depth per channel
2.5 Gb/s and 5 Gb/s acquisition speeds for PCI Express 1.0 and PCI Express 2.0
Support for x1, x2, x4, x8, and x16 PCI Express links
