Works with the Beagle I2C/SPI
The Beagle I2C/SPI Analyser records the bus your Cheetah drives without disturbing it. It captures SPI to 24 MHz nominal (less for continuous capture), so run the Cheetah below its 40 MHz maximum while you debug.

Questions and Answers
-
What Is a Cheetah SPI Host Adapter?
The Total Phase Cheetah SPI Host Adapter is a high-speed USB to SPI adapter that allows communication between a host computer and an SPI device. It supports clock rates up to 40 MHz and operates in full-duplex mode.
-
What Is the Main Purpose of the Cheetah SPI Host Adapter?
The Cheetah SPI Host Adapter is a bridge between a host computer and an SPI device, so the computer can send data to and receive data from the device.
-
What Is the Maximum Clock Rate That the Cheetah SPI Host Adapter Supports?
The Total Phase Cheetah SPI Host Adapter supports clock rates up to 40 MHz.
-
Does the Cheetah SPI Host Adapter Come with Software?
Yes. The Cheetah works with Total Phase's free Control Center Serial Software (which includes the former Cheetah GUI functions) and Flash Center, plus the free API, for sending and receiving data to and from the SPI device. The software is free, with free updates.
-
Is the Cheetah SPI Host Adapter RoHS Compliant?
Yes, the Total Phase Cheetah SPI Host Adapter is RoHS compliant.
-
What Types of Memory Devices and Applications Does the Cheetah SPI Adapter Support?
The Cheetah is designed for high-speed programming of SPI flash memory and EEPROM.
Flash Center's extensible XML parts library supports virtually any SPI memory device, including parts from Atmel, Macronix, STMicroelectronics and Micron.
Common applications:
- BIOS programming for embedded systems
- firmware updates for IoT devices
- high-speed sensor interfacing
- prototyping, where it emulates an MCU to poll SPI sensors, write to on-board flash and control the bus with precise timing
-
What Quality Standards and Certifications Does the Total Phase Cheetah Meet?
The Cheetah carries CE and RoHS marks. Total Phase manufactures it in the USA in a facility certified to ISO 9001, ISO 13485 (medical devices) and AS9100C (aerospace), and lists it as ITAR compliant.
2 years from Debug Store. Total Phase's standard hardware warranty is 12 months; Debug Store covers the second year itself, at no extra cost.
-
How Does the Cheetah's USB Interface and Power Requirements Compare to Other Solutions?
The Cheetah uses high-speed USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps, much faster than USB 1.1 adapters such as the Aardvark.
It is fully bus-powered, so it needs no external power adapter and works straight away from a laptop or desktop. It draws approximately 125mA from the USB host and can supply up to 25mA at 5V to target devices.
-
What Programming Languages and Development Environments Are Supported by the Cheetah API?
The Cheetah API supports:
- Windows (32-bit and 64-bit), Linux (multiple distributions) and Mac OS X
- C/C++, C#, Python, Visual Basic .NET and Visual Basic 6, with example programs included
- LabVIEW instrument drivers, included at no extra cost
The documentation includes timing diagrams and function references.
-
How Does the Cheetah Handle Advanced Timing Control and Signal Integrity for Critical Applications?
The Cheetah shifts bytes with no gap between them, where the Aardvark needs about 7 to 9 microseconds between SPI bytes. The Cheetah's MISO setup time is 4.8 nanoseconds.
User-insertable delays are set in 8 clock cycle increments, so you can tune timing to each slave device. The pipelined architecture shifts bytes without gaps, keeping throughput steady even on transactions spanning megabytes.
Built-in ESD protection adds approximately 15pF of parasitic capacitance. The 3.3V outputs work with both CMOS and TTL devices.
-
What Is the Total Phase Cheetah SPI Host Adapter and What Makes It Unique?
The Total Phase Cheetah SPI Host Adapter is a high-speed USB-to-SPI interface that runs at up to 40+ MHz, with unsupported overclocking to 50 MHz.
The general-purpose Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter tops out at 8 MHz. The Cheetah adds gapless shifting and precise timing control, and its pipelined architecture gives nearly 100% throughput efficiency. It suits high-speed SPI flash programming and embedded development.
-
How Does the Cheetah SPI Adapter Compare with Competitor Solutions?
The Cheetah runs SPI at 40+ MHz over high-speed USB 2.0 (480 Mbps). It includes Flash Center, Control Center Serial Software and a royalty-free API with no extra licence fees.
-
What Software Applications Are Included with the Cheetah SPI Host Adapter?
The Cheetah comes with three software packages at no extra cost:
- Flash Center Software: XML-based parts library with built-in support for many SPI flash memories and EEPROMs from major manufacturers. Supports gang programming with multiple Cheetah adapters.
- Control Center Serial Software: simple SPI message sending, with XML-based batch scripting to automate repetitive tasks.
- Cheetah API: royalty-free, for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, with C/C++, C#, Python and Visual Basic .NET bindings and example files.
-
What Are the Specific Technical Capabilities and Signal Specifications of the Cheetah SPI Adapter?
The Cheetah is a full-duplex SPI master running from 100 kHz to 40+ MHz.
- All four SPI modes, with configurable clock polarity and phase
- Three independent slave select lines (SS1, SS2, SS3) for multiple devices
- 3.3V logic levels, compatible with TTL and CMOS devices
- Built-in ESD protection
- User-insertable delays quantised in 8 clock cycle blocks
- USB 2.0 high-speed (480 Mbps)
- Bus-powered, drawing approximately 125mA
-
How Does the Cheetah's Gang Programming Capability Work for Production Environments?
Flash Center Software's gang programming feature lets several Cheetah adapters program devices at the same time, one target per adapter.
The Cheetah runs SPI at up to 40+ MHz, much faster than the Aardvark's 8 MHz, which shortens programming time for large SPI flash devices.
