Abstract

Abstract A logic analyzer including at least a sampling system for sampling input data with a sampling clock signal comprises a condition decision circuit having inputs supplied with the input data and an internal clock signal for producing a conditioning signal in dependence on the input data in synchronism with the internal clock signal, a clock detection circuit for deciding whether the sampling clock signal makes appearance within a predetermined period of the internal clock signal to produce a signal representative of the result of the decision, and a control circuit having inputs supplied with the conditioning signal and the signal representative of said result for producing a trigger signal corresponding to the conditioning signal in dependence on the signal representative of the result of decision.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 125 words
A logic analyzer including at least a sampling system for sampling input data with a sampling clock signal, comprising: a condition decision circuit having inputs supplied with said input data and an internal clock signal for producing a conditioning signal in dependence on said input data in synchronism with said internal clock signal; a clock detection circuit for deciding whether said sampling clock signal makes appearance within a predetermined period of said internal clock signal to produce a signal representative of the result of said decision; and a control circuit having inputs supplied with said conditioning signal and said signal representative of said result for producing a trigger signal corresponding to said conditioning signal in dependence on said signal representative of said result of decision.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 125 words
A logic analyzer including at least a sampling system for sampling input data with a sampling clock signal, comprising: a condition decision circuit having inputs supplied with said input data and an internal clock signal for producing a conditioning signal in dependence on said input data in synchronism with said internal clock signal; a clock detection circuit for deciding whether said sampling clock signal makes appearance within a predetermined period of said internal clock signal to produce a signal representative of the result of said decision; and a control circuit having inputs supplied with said conditioning signal and said signal representative of said result for producing a trigger signal corresponding to said conditioning signal in dependence on said signal representative of said result of decision.
