Included Mixed-Signal Probe

Mixed-Signal Probe

The scope of delivery for PowerTrace III also includes the TRACE32 Mixed Signal Probe, which allows digital and analog signals to be recorded and correlated directly with the trace recording performed by a TRACE32 AutoFocus II or Serial Preprocessor. The correlation is based on a common time stamp.

TRACE32 Mixed Signal Probe

  • Record digital/analog signals and correlate them with program flow
  • Digital signals: 12 channels, 0V - 5V, 200 MSamples/s per channel, threshold 0.1V - 2.5V
  • Analog signals: 6 single-ended voltage channels, -12V - +12V, 13-bit resolution, 2 current sense channels, up to 240mV differential shunt resistor voltage, 1 MSample/s conversion rate

  • Serial Trace via PCIe: PCIe Gen 2/3 x8, PCIe Gen 4 x47

Configuration

PowerTrace Serial is an extension to the debug module TRACE32 PowerDebug PRO and offers a trace memory of up to 4 GByte, which can record trace data conveyed off-chip via a serial trace port.

PowerTrace Serial Extension

The PowerTrace Serial has two serial port connectors:

  • The picture on the left shows the use of Serial Port 0, which is designed for HSSTP trace ports with up to 6 lanes.
  • The picture in the middle shows the use of Serial Port 1, which is designed for PCIe trace ports with up to 8 lanes.
  • Other serial trace ports need an adapter to be used, as shown by the right picture.

Data Rates TRACE32 AutoFocus II Preprocessor

  • Parallel trace ports 600+ MBit/s per pin for a port with up to 8-bit (+TCTL) in DDR mode
  • Parallel trace ports up to 600+ MBit/s per pin for a port with up to 16-bit (+TCTL) in DDR mode; without "continuous mode" also for 18-bit ports
  • Parallel trace ports up to 350 MBit/s per pin for a port with up to 32-bit (+TCTL)

Standard Probe/Analog Probe

In addition to the regular trace features PowerTrace Serial can be used as a 17 channel logic analyzer with the provided Standard Probe for transient recording, simple triggering, protocol analysis etc. With the TRACE32 Analog Probe which could be ordered seperately the voltage and current values can be measured for energy profiling. PowerTrace Serial provides a 1024K trace memory for this purpose.
