# Title: Saleae Logic Pro 16 Logic/Analogue Analyser ## Description: Full Description The Saleae Logic Pro 16 is a professional mixed-signal ⓘ USB ⓘ logic analyser ⓘ designed for Electronic Design Engineers who need deep visibility into both digital and analogue behaviour on complex embedded systems. With 16 dual-purpose inputs that each capture digital and analogue, digital sampling up to 500 MS/s ⓘ (on up to four channels, or 100 MS/s ⓘ across all sixteen), analogue sampling up to 50 MS/s ⓘ at 12-bit resolution ⓘ, and bandwidths of 100 MHz ⓘ (digital) and 5 MHz (-3 dB) ⓘ (analogue), it provides the performance and workflow efficiency required for board bring-up, firmware validation and regression debugging. Inputs tolerate ±25 V ⓘ with an operating analogue range of ±10 V ⓘ, and a typical input impedance of 2 MΩ || 10 pF ⓘ. Cross-platform Logic 2 software supports extensive protocol decode ⓘ, measurements, bookmarking, triggering and export. Mixed-signal capture on every channel All sixteen inputs are multi-use, meaning each can record digital and analogue simultaneously. This enables correlation of logic-level transitions with analogue effects like supply droop, ground bounce or ringing without re-probing. For example, when chasing an intermittent I²C ⓘ NACK ⓘ, you can observe SDA ⓘ/SCL ⓘ decoding alongside analogue traces that show overshoot from long stubs. The result is fewer reconnections and complete captures that reflect real-world behaviour. Sampling performance and bandwidth The analyser samples digital signals at up to 500 MS/s ⓘ on four channels via USB 3.0 ⓘ, or 100 MS/s ⓘ on all sixteen channels. Analogue capture reaches 50 MS/s ⓘ with 5 MHz (-3 dB) ⓘ bandwidth at 12-bit resolution. These figures align with MCU ⓘ/SoC ⓘ buses such as SPI ⓘ, UART ⓘ, SWD ⓘ, JTAG ⓘ and PWM ⓘ. Sampling above the Nyquist criterion ⓘ preserves timing integrity and pulse width accuracy. Wide signal range and thresholds Each input withstands ±25 V ⓘ, with an operating analogue range of ±10 V ⓘ. Digital thresholds support mixed-voltage systems (1.2 V, 1.8 V, 3.3 V and 5 V logic) on one capture, reducing external level shifters. This allows analysis of RS-232 ⓘ, RS-485 ⓘ or TTL ⓘ signals. The 2 MΩ || 10 pF ⓘ input preserves edge rates on high-impedance nets. Logic 2 software with protocol decode Logic 2 (Windows, macOS, Linux) decodes SPI ⓘ, I²C ⓘ, UART ⓘ, CAN ⓘ, LIN ⓘ, I²S ⓘ, PCM ⓘ, MDIO ⓘ, USB 2.0 ⓘ and more. Engineers can annotate frames, search events, and export to CSV ⓘ, VCD ⓘ, Binary or MATLAB ⓘ. An Automation API ⓘ enables scripted workflows and custom decoders. Deep captures using host memory The Logic Pro 16 streams via USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ⓘ into system RAM ⓘ, so capture length is limited mainly by PC resources and activity density. This enables long recordings to catch rare CRC ⓘ faults or supply droops during RF transmit bursts, while keeping navigation responsive. Triggering for fault isolation Edge and pulse-width triggers isolate faults quickly. For example, a bootloader UART at 3 Mbaud ⓘ may be disturbed by EMI ⓘ from a nearby DC-DC converter ⓘ. On SPI ⓘ, triggering on long CS ⓘ assertions helps catch firmware stalls that violate timing, reducing debug cycles. Everyday debugging scenarios Consider an STM32 board failing to configure a QSPI ⓘ flash: capture SPI lines at 100 MS/s ⓘ while sampling the 3.3 V rail at 1–3 MS/s ⓘ. The timeline reveals a mode-bit mismatch and a POR ⓘ voltage sag. For an I²C ⓘ device failing at 1 MHz, decoded frames show marginal SCL high-time ⓘ, while analogue traces show ringing, prompting pull-up adjustments. On CAN ⓘ, error frames correlate with VDD ⓘ droop, confirming the need for additional bulk capacitance. For motor control, sampling PWM ⓘ and shunt current together reveals loop timing without additional instruments. Choosing the right model For fewer channels, the Saleae Logic Pro 8 logic analyser offers 8 channels, 500 MS/s ⓘ (four channels) or 100 MS/s ⓘ (all eight), and 50 MS/s ⓘ analogue. If your work is mainly low-to-mid-speed digital with occasional analogue context, the Saleae Logic 8 mixed-signal analyser is a practical choice. For wide buses or multiple SPI/I²C peripherals, the 16-channel Logic Pro 16 preserves full timing relationships in a single capture. Interoperability with other debug tools The Logic Pro 16 integrates with complementary tools. Pair it with the Total Phase Aardvark I²C/SPI host adapter to generate traffic while capturing responses, or the Total Phase Promira Serial Platform for eSPI ⓘ and scripting. For high-channel analysis, explore the Acute LA4000 Plus Series logic analyser; for portable mid-range with timing/state modes, see the Acute TravelLogic 34-Channel logic analyser. These tools extend stimulus and state analysis while the Saleae provides rapid correlation and documentation. Specifications Channels: 16 digital, 16 analogue (shared).

The Saleae Logic Pro 16 Logic/Analogue Analyser (SKU SAL-00115) delivers professional-grade mixed-signal debugging in a compact USB package. It offers 16 multi-use channels capable of capturing both digital and analogue data—up to 500 MS/s on 4 channels or 100 MS/s when all 16 are in use, with analogue sampling at up to 50 MS/s and 12-bit resolution. These capabilities allow engineers to analyse complex signal interactions, spot intermittent faults and validate timing-sensitive protocols efficiently. The unit includes advanced protocol decoders (SPI, I²C, CAN, UART, SWD and more), flexible triggering and cross-platform compatibility (Windows, macOS, Linux), alongside a generous buffer depth limited only by host memory. Housed in a robust carry-case and bundled with wire harnesses, micro-gripper clips, and USB 3.0 cable, it also features a 12-month warranty and draws on the same software foundation used across Saleae’s product line – including the Logic 8 and Logic Pro 8 variants. For projects demanding extensive channel count and mixed-signal insight, the Logic Pro 16 stands out for its balance of performance, usability and portability—making it a compelling choice for embedded-systems validation.
