Total Phase PROMIRA SPI Analysis - Level 2 Application

The Promira SPI Analysis Level 2 Application (TP601610) turns a Total Phase Promira Serial Platform into a non-intrusive SPI protocol analyser that monitors single-I/O SPI at up to 40 MHz on one chip select. Total Phase describes it as the fastest SPI protocol analyser in its range. Data streams directly to the PC for decode in Data Center, so capture length is set by disk space, not a buffer.

Non-Intrusive SPI Capture to 40 MHz

Level 2 raises the capture ceiling from 24 MHz to 40 MHz, which reaches SPI flash, fast ADC and display links that Level 1 and the Beagle I2C/SPI cannot follow. The analyser does not drive the bus, so timing at 40 MHz is the timing of the real design.

Long Captures for Intermittent Faults

Streaming to the PC means a session can run until the fault appears, rather than until a buffer fills. Over Gigabit Ethernet the Promira can stay with a unit in a test rack or chamber while Data Center runs on a desk PC.

No Level 1 Licence Needed

Unlike the SPI Active applications, Total Phase does not list SPI Analysis Level 1 as a prerequisite for Level 2. If your bus runs above 24 MHz, Level 2 on its own covers it.

Software

Captures are viewed in Total Phase Data Center, which decodes the bus in real time and saves sessions for later review. The analysis applications need Promira firmware v2.00 or later, which is installed through the Promira admin interface.

Specifications

Limitations

• This is a software licence only. It runs on the Promira Serial Platform (£1,040 ex VAT), which is sold separately and must be in place before the licence can be installed.
• Single I/O and one chip select. Dual and quad SPI traffic is not decoded.
• Monitor only. To drive SPI at 40 MHz, add SPI Active Level 2.
• We ask for your Promira serial number at checkout, as printed on the label of the unit, because we need it to process the licence.

Which I2C and SPI Analyser Should You Choose?

Choose Level 2 when the SPI clock on your board is above 24 MHz. Up to 24 MHz, Level 1 costs less.

Typical Applications

Verifying the read sequence of a host booting from SPI NOR flash at 33 MHz. Capturing a 40 MHz ADC link to find timing-related data corruption. Long-run logging of an SPI bus in an environmental test to catch a rare fault.

SPI Analysis Level 2 suits hardware and firmware engineers working on fast SPI links and validation teams running long soak tests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this include the Promira hardware?

No. It is an application licence for a Promira Serial Platform you already own or order with it. The Promira Serial Platform is £1,040 ex VAT.

Can the analysis application drive the bus?

No. Analysis applications only monitor. To act as a master or slave, add the matching Active application to the same Promira.

Do I need SPI Analysis Level 1 first?

No. Total Phase does not list Level 1 as a prerequisite for SPI Analysis Level 2.

What do I need to give you when I order?

Your Promira serial number, as printed on the unit's label. We need it to process the licence.
