What’s inside

Closed design

Saleae publishes only an electrical/specifications datasheet for the Logic 8; no schematic, PCB, or internal parts list is released.

Research notes

Checked saleae.com/logic and downloads.saleae.com; no schematic or BOM. Third-party teardowns exist for the related Logic Pro 8/16 (Cypress FX3 + FPGA) and the original 2010-era Logic (Cypress FX2LP), but I could not confirm which USB/controller chip the current (2016+) non-Pro Logic 8 actually uses, so no part is listed rather than guess.

Specifications

Capture limits

8
Channels
Eight inputs; each records digital and analog.
Digital rates
100 MS/s: ≤3 channels; 50: ≤6; 40: ≤7; 25: all eight.
Digital bandwidth
25 MHz maximum.
Analog rates
10 MS/s on two channels; 2.5 MS/s on eight.
Analog detail
10-bit ADC; 1 MHz bandwidth at 10 MS/s.
Analog range
0–5 V; readings saturate outside it.
Input impedance
1 MΩ parallel with 10 pF.
Mixed capture
Available rates depend on enabled digital/analog channels and USB bandwidth.

Electrical and connection requirements

7
Logic threshold
Support docs specify fixed VIL 0.6 V / VIH 1.2 V; see the documentation conflict below.
Intermediate voltages
Digital readings between 0.6 and 1.2 V are undefined.
Input protection
±25 V protection is distinct from the 0–5 V analog measuring range.
Ground
Inputs, enclosure, USB and host share ground; the inputs are single-ended.
Probe ports
Two 2×4 headers; signal pins pair with common-ground pins.
USB
High-speed USB 2.0; Logic Pro USB 3 requirements are separate.
Temperature
0–70 °C.

Software, package and revision

7
Supported OS
Windows 10/11 x64; macOS 12+ Intel/Apple silicon; Ubuntu 20.04+ 64-bit and related systems.
Install
Windows installer includes the hardware driver; macOS app and Linux AppImage have separate instructions.
Capture duration
Host memory, signal activity and settings limit recording length.
Analysis and export
Protocol decoders, triggers, measurements; CSV, binary, VCD and MATLAB export.
Automation
Automation API and custom decoder support; use Logic 2 documentation.
Included kit
Two 4-channel harnesses, 16 clips, case, USB cable and starter guide.
Model boundary
Logic 8 is distinct from first-generation Logic, Logic Pro 8 and Logic Pro 16.
What still needs checking
  • The May 2026 datasheet uses ‘selectable’ threshold wording, but current electrical-support and capture-setting pages explicitly call Logic 8 fixed-threshold. Confirm with Saleae before buying for adjustable thresholds.
  • No complete hardware schematic was found among the reviewed official documents.
