The LeCroy LOGICSTUDIO 16 is a USB-powered logic analyzer that captures and decodes digital signals across 16 channels, transforming a PC into a portable debugging platform. Operating at 500 MS/s across all 16 channels or 1 GS/s on 8 channels, it delivers the timing resolution and memory depth required for embedded systems validation, digital design verification, and protocol analysis.
Technical Specifications
Acquisition Performance
• 16 input channels with 500 MS/s sampling rate (all channels) or 1 GS/s interleaved mode (8 channels)
• 100 MHz bandwidth with 3.75 ns minimum detectable pulse width
• 20 kpts memory depth on 16 channels; 40 kpts on 8 channels
• Channel-to-channel skew: 1 ns typical
• Continuous acquisition mode at 1 kHz sample rate
Triggering & Protocol Analysis
• Advanced trigger blocks (A and B) supporting logic combinations: AND, OR, and THEN operations
• Match criteria include rising/falling edge, any edge, level qualification, and pulse width measurement
• Trigger resolution at 500 MS/s for edge, pattern, pulse width, and pattern width triggers
• Built-in protocol decoders for UART, I2C, and SPI with decoder-based triggering
Signal Conditioning
