Buy an Aardvark I2C/SPI and get 10% off a Beagle I2C/SPI*
The Total Phase Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter is a USB-powered tool that enables direct, bidirectional communication with I2C and SPI devices from a Windows, Linux or macOS computer. It supports master and slave operation up to 800 kHz for I2C and up to 8 MHz/4 MHz for SPI master/slave, making it suitable for sensor evaluation, EEPROM/Flash programming, and automated test workflows. The standard 2×5 IDC target connector provides I2C, SPI and up to six GPIO lines; +5 V target power is available for low-current devices.
The included Control Center Serial software simplifies configuration and message transactions, with XML batch scripting for automation. Flash Center streamlines programming of I2C and SPI memories using an extensible parts library. Cross‑platform APIs (C/C/C#, Python, .NET) and LabVIEW drivers are available for integration into custom tooling.
Aardvark sits within a family of Total Phase tools: the higher‑performance Promira Serial Platform adds integrated level shifting and much higher I2C/SPI speeds, while the Beagle I2C/SPI Protocol Analyzer provides non‑intrusive bus capture—often used alongside Aardvark for concurrent generate‑and‑monitor workflows.
For engineers who need a dependable, well‑supported host adapter for everyday I2C/SPI bring‑up and production scripting, Aardvark delivers capability without complexity.
