Section 2
Theory of Operation
INTRODUCTION
2-1.
This section contains two block diagram descriptions of the Asynchronous Signature
Module housed within the case of the 9000A Series Troubleshooter. The first block
diagram description is general; it describes the operating concept of the Signature Module
and its relationship to the Troubleshooter and UUT. The second block diagram description
covers the module in greater detail.
GENERAL OPERATION
2-2.
The main function of the Signature Module is to receive streams of digital data from the
UUT and generate a test result that the Troubleshooter can display as a four- character
hexadecimal value (signature). During operation in the signature mode, the
Troubleshooter uses the data probe to read the data appearing at the test nodes of the UUT,
and it uses the Clock Module to obtain the START, STOP, CLOCK, and ENABLE control
signals.
The START, STOP, and ENABLE signals (plus the pod SYNC signal if selected) establish
a gate time, and generate CLOCK pulses during the gate time. The START, STOP, and
ENABLE signals synchronize the measurement period to the data being read from the
UUT by the data probe. The selected START signal specifies the beginning of the
signature measurement interval (gate time), which should coincide with the beginning of
the test pattern being stimulated within the UUT.
During the measurement interval, the data probe feeds test data through to the data input
of the Signature Module, which accepts the data into three separate sections:
1. CRC (signature) section
2. Events section
3. Waveform section
When the selected STOP edge occurs, the gate time concludes, leaving registers in the
CRC section loaded with the signature of the clocked-in test data, registers in the events
section loaded with the number of selected transitions, and the waveform section registers
loaded with a binary representation of the last 640 nanoseconds of probe data. The
contents of these three sections are available over the pod bus for display by the
Troubleshooter.
