TLA7SA00 Logic Protocol Analyzer Datasheet
PCI Express debug and analysis spanning
Physical to Transaction-layer with feature-
rich hardware
PCI Express 3.0 introduces new challenges for validation engineers. Time-
to-market pressures require a solution that can quickly pinpoint problems.
The TLA7SA00 Series logic protocol analyzer modules provide an
innovative approach to PCI Express validation that spans all layers of the
protocol from the Physical layer to the Transaction layer.
Reduce the time to information by viewing and searching up to 16 GB deep
memory in just seconds with rapid display updates enabled by our industry-
leading hardware acceleration.
Features such as auto-training, auto-tracking, front-panel LED lane status,
single-click calibration, allow the logic protocol analyzer to "wire" itself
automatically which shortens the time it takes for users to build confidence
in the test system.
Quickly trigger on patterns of interest with powerful trigger capabilities that
span across all protocol layers. Real-time filtering provides the ability to
filter unwanted data and use the acquisition memory more efficiently by
storing only transactions of interest.
Elusive power state anomalies pertaining to entry into and exit from
electrical idle and ASPM states such as L0s to L0 are easily addressed by
FastSYNC technology. It ensures quick re-synchronization of the logic
protocol analyzer with the PCI Express FTS ordered sets regardless of the
duration of electrical Idle time. This capability is unique compared to other
solutions where the L0s to L0 re-synchronization time is specified only over
a short electrical idle time of 2 μs or less.
Innovative data displays for accelerated time
to information
The new PCI Express software helps view information in a hierarchical and
rich format. Protocol information can be expanded and collapsed to rapidly
display or hide information as needed.
Quickly ascertain the health of the system and identify patterns of interest
(errors, specific transactions, ordered sets) with statistical summary and
data graphs using the Summary Profile window. Summary statistics include
useful information such as average transaction latency, total bytes
transmitted, and bus utilization.
