Applications
Protocol Decoding and Analysis
Automatic serial bus decoding saves time and eliminates errors versus hand decoding. Search functions enable you to isolate events for fast system-level troubleshooting. See the datasheet for a complete listing of more than 25 supported protocols.
- I2C, SPI
- RS-232 / 422 / 485 / UART
- USB 2.0
- Ethernet
Jitter Analysis and Serial Standards Compliance
Clocks are the heart of every embedded system and digital communication link. Jitter and other clock distortion can impact system operation, and getting to the root cause can be challenging without the right analysis tools.
Automated compliance packages simplify testing to make sure your high-speed serial bus implementations conform to serial standards such as USB and Ethernet.
- Standard phase noise, TIE, and frequency plots and histograms
- Optional advanced analysis with jitter decomposition and clock recovery
