Tektronix recently introduced the TLA6400, a performance leap in the world of value-priced monolithic bench-top logic analyzers. Performance like this used to require more expensive card-modular systems, more suitable to ASIC designers than FPGA programmers or general purpose users. However, with faster parallel bus signals (such as new high-speed COTS ADC’s and DDR memory), many designers find themselves needing performance logic analyzer specifications at budget-friendly prices. While a high-end performance logic analyzer can cost over $100k, the TLA6400 starts at around $13k.
