“microprocessor” throughout these instructions. For information on how to connect a DAS MTIF for the 92A96 Acquisition Module to a Tektronix microprocessor support (TMS) probe adapter, refer to the instruction manual for the TMS product.
DAS MTIF to and disconnect it from a SUT. Product Description The DAS MTIF has four parts: one DAS MTIF adapter and three DAS MTIF probes. Connectors on one side of the adapter accommodate four 92AC96 cables. The connectors on the other side of the adapter accommodate the probes.
These procedures are the same for the straddle-mounted connector. Direct Connection To connect the DAS MTIF to a Mictor connector in your SUT (or on a TMS probe adapter), follow these steps: 1. Line up the pin 1 indicator on the probe tip with pin 1 on the connector in your SUT.
6. When connected, push down the latch releases on the probe to set the latch. 7. Connect the 92A96 cables. Match the label colors on the 92A96 cables to the colors printed on the adapter. The cable connectors are keyed. DAS MTIF Instructions...
2. Position the low-profile end perpendicular to the connector and gently connect the extender as shown in Figure 3. 3. To connect the DAS MTIF probe to the other end of the extender, follow steps 1 through 3 in the Direct Connection procedure on page 2.
Operating Basics Disconnecting the DAS MTIF Probe from the SUT DAS MTIF To disconnect the probe, follow these steps: 1. Gently pull the latch release grip to release the probe tip from the latch housing as shown in Figure 4.
Loading and equivalent circuits Probe channel assignments Mictor Connectors and Latch Housings The DAS MTIF probe contains a 38-pin Mictor connector. Table 1 lists Mictor connectors you can purchase from AMP, Inc. that are compatible with the probe. Table 1: Compatible Mictor connectors...
The placement of Mictor connectors depends on whether you plan to connect the DAS MTIF directly to the SUT or use the Low-Profile Extender with the probe. Direct Connection Figure 5 shows the dimensions and minimum placement of surface-mounted connectors on a SUT.
Designing an Interface Between a DAS MTIF and a SUT Mechanical Layout and Pinout of Compatible Mictor Connectors Each compatible Mictor connector has 43 pins; pins 39 through 43 are grounded. Pins 1, 2, 37, and 38 are open. Figure 6 shows the positions and spacing between the pins, the keyhole, and the latch housing mounting holes of a surface-mounted connector.

1 when connecting the DAS MTIF probe. Loading and Equivalent Circuits The load presented to the SUT by the DAS MTIF is low. The load is equivalent to a 10 pF capacitance with 100 k resistance returned to a +3.1 V supply.
The extender is useful in a SUT where signal risetimes are greater than one or two nanoseconds. Faster risetimes cause transmission line reflections on signals. Figure 10 shows the equivalent circuit for the DAS MTIF with a Low-Profile Extender. DAS MTIF Instructions...

When mapping signals from your SUT to channels on the logic analyzer, you must keep the probe section and clock channels together for the A, C and D DAS MTIF probes.

WARNING The following servicing instructions are for use only by qualified personnel. To avoid injury, do not perform any servicing other than that stated in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Refer to all Safety Summaries before performing any service.
Applying labels Functional verification procedure Maintenance The DAS MTIF does not require scheduled or periodic maintenance. To maintain good electrical contact, keep the product free of dirt, dust, and contaminants. Also, ensure that any electrically conductive contaminants are removed. Dirt and dust can usually be removed with a soft brush. For more extensive cleaning, use only a damp cloth.
The DAS MTIF maps the 100 channels of the 92A96 acquisition module to the three DAS MTIF probes. The A probe contains 32 channels for the A3, A2, A1 and A0 probe sections plus the CK:1 and CK:0 clock channels. The C probe contains 32 channels for the C3, C2, C1 and C0 probe sections plus the CK:3 clock channel.
Designed to meet Tektronix standard 062-2847-00 class 5. Not to exceed SUT thermal considerations. Forced air cooling might be required across the CPU. Table 8 shows the certifications and compliances that apply to the DAS MTIF. Table 8: Certifications and compliances EC Compliance There are no current European Directives that apply to this product.
To replace damaged mechanical parts, you will need to disassemble the DAS MTIF probe or the DAS MTIF adapter. If the DAS MTIF probe cable has been damaged or if there is an electrical fault, the cable must be replaced.
Latch release grip Figure 13: Disassembling the latch release grip DAS MTIF Adapter You can only disassemble the insulator and plastic standoffs from the DAS MTIF Adapter board. You can replace a latch housing on the board by desoldering the damaged housing and replacing it with a new housing.
1. Place the latch release cords into the latch releases as shown in Figure 15. 2. Push the latch release downward to force the latch release cord to snap through the slot and into the small hole. DAS MTIF Instructions...
DAS MTIF Adapter To reassemble the DAS MTIF adapter, follow these steps: 1. Insert the permanent lock end of the plastic standoffs into the adapter board. 2. Install the insulator onto the releasable end of the plastic standoffs.
Service Information Labels You might need to apply new labels after repairing a DAS MTIF probe. Table 9 shows the channel combinations and label colors for the probe tips. Table 9: Probe tip channel sections and label colors Probe Pin 1 side...
Refer to the user manual for the module for installation information. To perform the functional verification procedure, follow these steps: 1. Connect the 92A96 cables to the logic analyzer and to the DAS MTIF. 2. Connect the interface ends of the DAS MTIF probes to the DAS MTIF adapter.
