Adapter Enhances Popular Logic Analyzers

Tailored for use with a Tektronix logic-analyzer system, the LA-BGA88D-FLASH-PSRAM-01 logic analyzer adapter supports high-speed operation, enabling memory-device analysis of the type found in PDAs, cell phones, digital cameras, and MP3 players. Features include the shortest possible trace length, low inductance, low capacitance, and the adapter sits blind and buried via a rigid-flex PCB design. Designed to interface with FBGA packages, the adapter consists of two parts: a surface-mount foot soldered to the target board in place of a BGA, 0.8-mm pitch IC and a probe board that plugs into the SMT base that employs a PCB with power planes to deliver all data, address, control, and clock signals to Mictor connectors. Single-unit price for the component is $1,275. IRONWOOD ELECTRONICS, Burnsville, MN. (800) 404-0204.
