CIRCUITMASTER 4000MMixed Signal Circuit Analyser


2/24

Problem Statement

Finer pitch ICs

Higher pin count

Smaller components

Custom and more complex designs

Todays technology now offers :


3/24

Problem Statement

One instrument for each applicationMultimeter for DC, Oscilloscope for AC

Risk of damage during probingProbe and view / adjust instrument at the same time

Time wastingPin counting, adjust instrument for each pin

Difficult to clip onto small ICse.g.: TQFPs, with some pins inaccessible (e.g. BGA)

But with current test instruments :

CircuitMaster 4000M

The ABI CircuitMaster 4000M is

a mixed-signal circuit analyser

that can record several

measurements with only oneprobing action.

Main Features :


9/24

Footswitch

Allows the user to acquire up to 40 snapshots at thetouch of a footstep. Each snapshot can be recalled

and analysed reviewed.

1 is measured at 5 Volts

2 is measured at ~5 Volts



5 is unknown (floating)


7 is measured at 0 Volts

With a standard DVM :


11/24

Current test instruments DO NOT give any other

information on the status of a test point.

With FirmFlex, it is possible to simultaneously :

Measure the voltage accurately

Acquire the waveform

Measure the strength of the node

SignalTrack

Allows the user to send a programmable signal into

a circuit (CH1) and measure a response at various

points (CH2) with both waveforms synchronised.


20/24

LogicView

Allows the user to add up to 4 digital inputs (through

MultiWay I/O) to the two analogue channels.


21/24

MultiWay

Allows the user to capture each pin of an IC under

the same condition using a test clip (40 way)


22/24

V-I Characteristic

Allows the user to display the impedance

characteristic of components and nodes using a fully

adjustable stimulus.
