Total Phase has announced the addition of new I2C Analysis, SPI Analysis – Level 1, and SPI Analysis – Level 2 Applications to its Promira Serial Platform, introducing advanced sniffing and protocol analysis capabilities for embedded systems debugging. The update claims to provide engineers with a single device for real-time monitoring, programming, and comprehensive analysis of I2C- and SPI-based communications.
According to Total Phase, the I2C Analysis Application supports non-intrusive, real-time monitoring between master and slave devices at clock speeds up to 5 MHz, with bit-level timing breakdown. The SPI Analysis – Level 1 Application extends these features for SPI at clock speeds up to 24 MHz and supports one chip or slave select. The SPI Analysis – Level 2 Application retains all Level 1 features and increases the supported clock speed to 40 MHz, making it the fastest SPI analyzer currently available from Total Phase.
All applications are compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS and come with free software and royalty-free APIs. The Promira Serial Platform combines master and slave emulation with protocol analysis in a single tool, offering a portable solution that supports both active and sniffing modes, integrated level shifting, high-speed USB, and Ethernet connectivity. The platform, together with Total Phase’s Data Center Software, enables live traffic viewing, real-time filtering, searchable packet analysis, and long-duration data capture using a circular buffer for in-depth troubleshooting of communication issues in increasingly complex, high-speed environments.
While the press release highlights broad market coverage—including automotive, consumer electronics, medical devices, and telecommunications—the technical features are relevant for data center engineers and developers focused on embedded hardware development, system debugging, and root-cause analysis of I2C and SPI communications.
“Users can now rely on a single, easily portable device for high-speed I2C/SPI programming, testing, and real-time data analysis,” said Chris Yokum, VP of Engineering.
