Chapter 8: Theory of Operation
The information in this chapter is to help you understand how the module
operates and what the self-tests are testing. This information is not intended for
component-level repair.
Block-Level Theory
The block-level theory of operation is divided into two parts: theory for the logic
analyzer used as a single-card module or as a master card in a multi-card module,
and theory for the logic analyzer used as an expander card in a multi-card
module. A block diagram is shown before each theory.
The 16760A logic analyzer
Probe Adapter and Pods. Each pod includes 17 differential channels of
analysis data, a threshold voltage input, two serial I2C lines for adapter probe
identification, and 50 ground signals. The 17 differential channels of are fed from
the probe adapter into the logic analyzer cable (pod) input. For signal-ended
operation, the negative side of each of the 17 differential signals is coupled to
ground inside the single-ended probe adapter.
On the end of the Samtec probe adapter is a 100-pin application-specific Samtec
