Agilent 16753/54/55/56A and 16950A Logic Analyzers—At a
Glance
The 16753A, 16754A, 16755A, and 16756A are 600 MHz logic analyzer modules
for the 16700-series or 16900-series logic analysis system.
The 16950A is 600 MHz logic analyzer module for the 16900-series logic analysis
system.
The 16753/54/55/56A and 16950A logic analyzer modules offer high performance
measurement capability.
Features
Some of the main features of the 16753/54/55/56A and 16950A are as follows:
• 64 data channels
• 4 clock/data channels
• 1 M to 64 M memory depth per channel (depends upon model or option chosen)
• 600 MHz maximum state acquisition speed
• 1.2 GHz, 128 M deep timing analysis on half channels
• “Eye scan” feature
• 4 GHz timing zoom with 64 k memory depth
• Expandable to 340 channels
Service Strategy
The service strategy for this instrument is the replacement of defective
assemblies. This service guide contains information for finding a defective
assembly by testing and servicing the 16753/54/55/56A or 16950A state and
timing analyzer module.
The modules can be returned to Agilent Technologies for all service work,
including troubleshooting. Contact your nearest Agilent Technologies Sales
