NEX-PMC64

PMC64 Interposer & Software

The NEX-PMC64 Bus Adapter provides clocking, setup, disassembly, and a quick convenient connection to a 64 or 32-bit PMC interface. It supports 64- or 32-bit data bus applications.

Disassembly: Class, Sub-Class, and Prog. I/F information is displayed in hexadecimal form, but then is further decoded to tell the user exactly what Class and Sub-Class of device is being accessed (Mass Storage, Display, Network, etc.). The command and status registers are decoded, the bit-level information displayed in easily understood form. Disassembly Screen Shot shows a typical display of the acquired PMC data.

Invalid data bytes are dashed out during valid Data Cycles.

Timing Analysis: By acquiring data in asynchronous or transitional mode on a Tektronix Logic Analyzer, high speed accurate timing measurements up to 2GHz (500ps) can be made of the 64 or 32-bit PMC Bus.

Correlating Bus Activity: While the NEX-PMC64 package is being used to monitor the PMC interface activity, another acquisition module can be used to monitor activity elsewhere in the system. The results of the two acquisitions can be correlated in time to determine the sequence of actions that occurred. For instance, the system microprocessor could be monitored and correlated with bus activity to verify the proper response to an external interrupt condition.
