The USB Power Delivery Analyzer USB-PDA is a professional tool that allows for custom application development in addition to the included GUI.
The performance of Total Phase's USB-PDA, highly regarded as a USB Power Delivery analyzer, is not limited to decoding the CC line of USB PD3.0 or simple voltage/current measurement functions. Since it is designed to be inserted in the middle of the signal line, it is carefully designed to minimize impact on high-speed communication, resulting in a very small size. Although the specifications do not mention its use on a 20Gbps communication line, its small size is advantageous.
The included GUI software is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac (including M1 models). It not only displays data sequentially while capturing a large amount of it in host memory but also allows for live searching and filtering during capture. This GUI software, Data Center, is also used with Total Phase's Beagle USB Analyzer, Beagle I2C/SPI, as well as Komodo CAN Analyzer and Promra eSPI Analyzer.
For debugging rare events or for integration into inspection devices, there is the advantage of being able to create custom applications using the API.
