TL4234B combines efficient memory, multi-channel support, and various signal trigger decoding capabilities, including eSPI, SVID, and Ethernet (MII/RMII/RGMII). It is particularly suitable for engineers and technicians in the Intel platform and Ethernet application domains.
TL4234B supports Intel-related signals:
• eSPI: Integrates three bus functions, including SMbus, LPC (used for CPU control of the motherboard"s southbridge), and SerialFlash (used for reading BIOS data).
• SVID: Used for power management.
Additionally, it also supports Ethernet (MII/RMII/RGMII) protocols for data protocol analysis.

• Capture digital waveforms and support bus decodes. Able to stack with a DSO to form as an MSO.
• Provides multiple storage modes, users could select to have long time recording or precision acquisition.
• Long Time Record: Transitional Storage VS Compressed Storage
For signal capture and analysis, usually require to record the signal for a long time. If the data is stored in a compressed way, it will cause your software to lag or even stop functioning when decompressing the data after it is sent back to the computer. Because PC memory size might insufficient for decompressed data size. To satisfy the requirement of smooth software operation and long-term recording without missing any data, the storage method adopted by the Acute analyzer is transitional storage rather than compression. After returning to the PC software, it doesn"t need to do the decompression. The decoded results can be displayed while the analysis is finished.
