HP 16518A 16-Channel, 4 GHz High-Speed State and Timing Module Expansion Card

Trace more channels with higher accuracy than ever before in a logic analyzer. The 64K deep memory lets you capture data over many clock cycles while retaining the highest multi-channel accuracy ever in a logic analyzer. Solve your toughest problems with the fastest, most flexible state analysis available. This expansion card requires the HP 16517A 16-Channel, 4 GHz Logic Analyzer High-Speed State and Timing Module.

[ Features ]

Find the Cause of Elusive Problems
Verify the timing of critical edges with 250 ps resolution across up to 40 channels, or 500 ps resolution across up to 80 channels. Use the 1 GSa/s synchronous state analysis to view high-speed data streams across up to 80 channels.
The Ultimate in Timing Resolution and Accuracy
The 250 ps resolution of this analyzer is only part of the story. An innovative approach, using phase-locked loops, keeps the skew between channels to +/- 250 ps.
Precisely Characterize Setup or Hold Times
The 250 ps precision (channel-to-channel skew) allows this logic analyzer to be used in place of an oscilloscope for characterization. The high channel count of a logic analyzer makes this a much more efficient process.
Modularity
HP's modular 16500B family lets you configure your mainframe with the modules you need today, whileproviding you the flexibility to grow with your evolving digital design needs.
