TLA7AA2

The Tektronix TLA7AA2 is a high-performance 68-channel logic analyzer module for the TLA7000 and TLA700 series mainframes. Designed for synchronous state and high-speed asynchronous timing analysis, it offers simultaneous state, high-speed timing, and analog analysis through a single probe pin. The module features Tektronix's proprietary MagniVu acquisition technology, delivering up to 125 ps (8 GHz) timing resolution alongside deep memory timing analysis.
