Total Phase releases the Beagle I2C/SPI/MDIO Protocol Analyzer, a powerful and low-cost high-speed I2C and SPI serial bus monitor

SUNNYVALE, CA - October 24, 2004 - Total Phase is pleased to announce the release of the Beagle I2C/SPI/MDIO Protocol Analyzer.

The Beagle I2C/SPI/MDIO Protocol Analyzer is a low-cost analyzer that can non-intrusively monitor high-speed I2C (up to 4MHz) and SPI (up to 24MHz). Embedded systems engineers can see bus transactions in real-time with bit-level timing information down to 20 nanosecond resolution.

"The Beagle I2C/SPI/MDIO Protocol Analyzer is a fantastic tool for embedded engineers. Our aim is to provide the best tool at an affordable price", says Kumaran Santhanam, senior product architect. "It is also a perfect complement to the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter."

Versatile Tool in the Field

The Beagle I2C/SPI/MDIO Protocol Analyzer is the ideal tool for the lab and on the road. Field application engineers will appreciate the Beagle analyzer's small footprint, making it perfect for debugging in the field. Since the Beagle analyzer draws power from USB, there are no additional power adapters. Just plug it into a High-Speed USB 2.0 port and the Beagle analyzer is ready for action.

Automated Testing Workhorse

The royalty-free API of the Beagle I2C/SPI/MDIO Protocol Analyzer is ideally suited for automated testing environments. Test fixtures can use the Beagle API to make full use of the entire feature set of the Beagle analyzer. The net result is a fast, efficient, and cost-effective testing solution for manufacturing production lines.

Excellent Value
