Sniffing I2C Traffic at up to 5 MHz

The I2C Analysis Application allows users to non-intrusively monitor I2C communication with support for clock speeds up to 5 MHz, with bit-level timing down to 100 ns resolution. With the Data Center Software, users can view and save a real-time capture of transactions, including data packets, timing, and other protocol-level details, allowing engineers to quickly identify communication issues. Data Center Software provides insight into:
- START and STOP conditions: Marks the beginning and end of a communication session.
- Repeated START: Initiates a new communication without releasing the bus.
- Address bytes: Captures both 7-bit and 10-bit addresses.
- Read/Write: Indicates whether the operation is a read or write.
- ACK/NACKs: Acknowledgment or non-acknowledgment signals from the receiver.
- Data bytes: The actual data being communicated.
- Timing violations: Detects any deviations from the standard timing parameters.
- Circular Buffer: The circular buffer feature allows users to capture data for hours and days on end.
The I2C Analysis Application on the Promira Serial Platform is a high-performance solution for monitoring, sniffing, and debugging I2C communication. When used with the Data Center Software, it provides real-time capture and display of I2C traffic with in-depth visibility into protocol packets, timing, and bus activity. Supporting speeds up to 5 MHz, this application streamlines I2C troubleshooting and speeds up development.
Please note, this is an application that requires installation on the Promira Serial Platform.

What's included
- I2C Analysis Application license
- The I2C Analysis Application is a download that runs on your Promira Serial Platform unit. Once you have purchased a Promira Serial Platform, you'll be able to instantly download and add new applications as they become available.
- All applications include one full year of software maintenance. As long as your software maintenance is current, you can take advantage of our five-star support. Any time you purchase a new application for your Promira Serial Platform, we'll automatically extend the software maintenance for all applications that have current maintenance support (applications that are out of support do not receive this benefit, so it's always best to keep the maintenance current on your applications). That means if you purchase one new application per year, all your applications will be eligible for software support.
