Abstract
A system for tracing an operation of an electronic circuit is provided. The system includes an electronic circuit, a trace buffer, and a trigger detection circuit. The trace buffer includes a plurality of segments configured to continually collect and store data signals of the electronic circuit. The data signals are collected in a current segment of the plurality of segments. The trigger detection circuit is adapted to provide a trigger signal when a trigger condition is met. Each time upon generation of the trigger signal when the trigger condition is met, the collection of the data signals is stopped in the current segment and subsequent data signals are collected in a new segment of the plurality of segments.
