• 32 channels timing mode 200 MHz
• 16 channels timing mode 400 MHz (256K Version)
• 32 channels state mode 100 MHz
• 32 channels timing muxed mode for SOC-CON + 32 channels timing mode 100 MHz
• 32 channels timing muxed mode for SOC-CON + 16 channels timing mode 200 MHz
• 32 channels timing muxed mode for SOC-CON + 8 channels timing mode 400 MHz
• State or timing mode for every channel selectable
• 4 state clock signals, sampling on rising or falling edge

Input Signals

• Selectable threshold level for groups of 16 lines
  • 1.0V for low voltage target systems (1.5 .. 2.5 V)
  • 1.4V for normal voltage target systems (CMOS + TTL 2.5 .. 5 V)
• 100 KOhm/10 pF 0..10 V with probe compensation

Transient Recording over required Time

The recording depth is governed by the number of transitions on the transient sensitive inputs.

High Memory Depth

• 128K (256K) timing transients or state edges

Transient sensitivity can be activated independently for each channel
