[SI-LIST] Re: Please suggest a way to monitor high speed busses

Hi all,

Tom you are right- by monitoring I mean to connect it to a continuous
decision circuit....

Steve / Tom,
Can you recommend any passive attenuator and logic series you have had good
experience with
In similar applications.

Regards,


Anurag Gupta

                Input impedance if you mean input R is really not the issue,
you need to
                reduce the amount of input C that the monitor has.  If your
application is
                monitor as in put a scope probe on it and see what is
happening I would
                recommend a FET scope probe, one with less than 1 pF input
C.  If you mean
                by monitoring, connect it continuously to a decision
circuit, then any low C
                logic gate will do the trick.  And yes a low input C
amplifier will work
                also.  The key is low C.

                Hi all,

                In a design I am working on - I need to monitor the High
speed PowerPC bus-
                Basically the transaction signals, some address and data.
The basic bus
                speed can be 133Mhz or 166MHz.

                Can you please suggest a way of monitoring the signals (
digital levels are
                ok...) as "non intrusively" as possible- so as not to spoil
the "integrity"
                of the bus.

                I was thinking in terms of some ultra-high input impedance
buffers.....etc-
                however I am open to all suggestions..... even the wildest
:-)

                Thanks

                Anurag Gupta
