Tektronix TLA720 Logic Analyzer (TLA-720 Mainframe)

Used mainly for debugging and verifying hardware/processors/bus/embedded software integration/embedded real-time software optimization/system validation.

The TLA family of logic analyzers consists of the TLA600 Series and the TLA700 Series. The TLA600 offers a selection of standalone logic analyzer instruments at prices that make 500 ps timing resolution available to designers of today's mainstream embedded systems. The TLA700 Series offers the highest performance for today's demanding applications and consists of portable and benchtop modular mainframes with expansion mainframe capability. Instrument modules include logic analyzer, pattern generator and digitizing oscilloscope. A full line of complementary support products for popular processors and buses is available for the entire TLA family.

Today's digital design engineers face daily pressures to speed new products to the marketplace. The TLA answers the need with breakthrough solutions for the entire design team, providing the ability to quickly monitor, capture and analyze real-time system operation in order to debug, verify, optimize and validate digital systems.

Hardware developers, Hardware/Software integrators and embedded software developers will appreciate the range of capabilities of the TLA. Its broad feature set includes capturing and correlating elusive hardware and software faults; providing simultaneous state and high-speed timing analysis; using deep state acquisition to find the cause of complex problems; generating the digital stimulus for functional verification, debugging and stress testing; offering non-intrusive real-time software execution tracing that correlates to the source code and to the hardware events.

This kind of performance is matched by value. Productivity and connectivity features such as the open Microsoft Windows platform make all TLA logic analyzers easy to use and easily networked into the design environment. Modularity and flexibility features help you protect your current investment.
