Strides in Silicon Performance Impact System Designs
Dramatic advances in the performance of devices such as processors and memories have created the need for much higher performance digital buses. In response, system designers have turned to faster edges, lower voltages, multi-pumping of data, and source synchronous techniques among others. Consequently, many new digital system designs are plagued with problems that arise from fast, complex signals: glitches, noise, anomalies, and more. These aberrations are "analog" in nature, even though the system itself may be digital. A high-performance oscilloscope is the best tool for acquiring such signal aberrations, while the logic analyzer remains the core tool for digital acquisition, display, and analysis.

Analog, Digital Signals Share the Same Display
iView provides the flexibility to use the logic analyzer and oscilloscope independently or together. Equally important, iView gives TLA Series logic analyzer users integrated access to the unmatched performance of the TDS oscilloscope's bandwidth. This is the first time this level of oscilloscope performance has been paired with a logic analyzer, particularly beneficial to designers solving signal integrity problems on the latest high-speed processors and buses.

Using iView, engineers can capture fast analog waveform details and time-correlate them on the logic analyzer display with the equivalent digital events. The two types of waveforms can be superimposed, if desired. iView makes it easy to see how a faulty signal edge, for example, correlates with erroneous data revealed by the logic analyzer display.

Many mainstream digital design applications are today served by the cost-effective TLA Series logic analyzers. iView brings seamless integration of oscilloscope and logic analyzer acquisitions for the first time.

The iView package, available for every TLA5000 Series logic analyzer, includes TLA Application Software and an interconnect cable to integrate the logic analyzer with more than 40 Tektronix oscilloscopes. Recommended oscilloscopes include the TDS5000B and TDS3000B Series DPOs.

iView-supported oscilloscopes include:

• TDS1000 Series
• TDS2000 Series
• TDS3000/3000B Series
• TDS5000/5000B Series
• TDS6000/6000B/6000C Series
• CSA7000/7000B Series
• TDS7000/7000B Series
• TDS654C, TDS684C, TDS694C
• TDS724D, TDS754C, TDS754D, TDS784C, TDS784D, TDS794D

Set up is easy, through the use of the iView Wizard, which guides you through set up and connection. No user calibration or calibration fixture is needed. And, once set up is completed, iView is completely automated.
