Abstract :
The VLSI-based design of a low-cost logic analyzer for a PC is presented. Despite its growing popularity, the general purpose analyzer has limitations caused by the complexity of operation and high cost. The analyzer has been designed for improved performance. It has 16 channels of acquisition data backed by a maximum rate of 25 MHz and 4 K deep memory. The special features of the design include self-test pattern generation and acquisition memory pattern search. CMOS technology has been used in the physical design of the analyzer
