I2C Bus Monitor Plus & Protocol Analyzer
Overview
If your designs include heavy I2C Bus, SMBus, or derived protocol content, the I2C Bus Monitor Plus will
give you the bus monitoring power you need, including data timestamping, variable logic voltage
thresholds, and flexible triggering.Whether you’re testing designs with a single master and slave, such as
programming configuration EEPROM’s, or monitoring multiple masters and slaves in a server maintenance
system, the information packed screens help you get your debug and certification done faster.
The I2C Bus Monitor Plus is our laboratory grade troubleshooting instrument for the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) Bus, SMBus, and other derived protocols. When connected to an I2C or derived protocol bus and a host computer, the I2C Bus Monitor Plus captures, filters, and displays bus message data and timing information Key Features
- Display Filtering on message Slave Address, Data
Bytes, and Protocol Violations.
- Microsecond Timestamping of Bits, Bytes and
Messages.
- Non-intrusive capture of bus traffic to 400kHz.
- Smart Battery System (SBS) Protocol Analysis.
- Adjustable Logic Voltage Levels.
Additional Features
- I2C Bus, SMBus, SSI, and IPMI Development Tool.
- 256K byte Data Recording Memory, Supports
General Calls, and Multi-Master/Multi-Slave
Addressing.
- Displays Start/Stop Events, Device Addresses, Read/Write Requests,Acknowledgements, Data,
and Bit, Byte, and Message timing.
- Trigger Input for synchronization with external
events.
- Trigger Output on bus events or pattern match
for triggering external test equipment.
The I2C Bus Monitor Plus includes an extensive array of message monitoring capabilities, and can time-stamp bits, bytes, or messages.
The I2C Bus Monitor Plus can display Smart Battery Data in engineering units, and can detect, filter, and display protocol violations.
