DDR Logic-Analysis Probe Captures Signals At 266 Mtransfers/s

A non-intrusive device, the FS2009 PCI-X-2.0 protocol analysis probe captures signal activity at up to 266 Mtransfers/s (133-MHz clock). It supports PCI-X 1.0 and 2.0 Mode 1 and Mode 2 double-data-rate (DDR) protocols, as well as 32- and 64-bit buses. Operation is from 3.3 and 1.5 V. The probe incudes a solder-on adapter (FS1021) and a plug-in interposer (FS1022), as well as software that quickly configures the logic analyzer for the user. The probe operates with parity or error-correction code and triggers on a complex sequence of events and filters on data. Data may be viewed on a PC or workstation using Agilent offline analysis software. The FS2009 costs $13,000, with delivery in six weeks.
