Why Engineers Choose The Total Phase PROMIRA Platform
Unmatched Protocol Versatility
Professional-Grade Performance Standards
Future-Proof Investment Protection
Built on a completely new FPGA-based architecture, the Promira platform is the latest tool in Total Phase's established line of cost-effective and easy-to-use embedded solutions. Instantly add new features to your device, as they become available: program and receive data with new protocols, higher clock rates and real-time protocol analysis.
Each Promira platform includes a full software suite including powerful GUIs and APIs for a variety of applications.
Every Promira platform comes standard with integrated level-shifting, as well as Ethernet and USB control interfaces. The Promira platform is ready to accomplish any task you set it to.
Here are some typical applications of the PROMIRA:
Development Prototyping
The Promira can be configured as a bus master or slave. As a master, it can be used to connect to sensors, memory devices and other peripherals. As a slave, it can be used to emulate a serial device and respond to test commands sent by a master CPU.
Device Programming
The unit can be used to program EEPROM and Flash devices on a target board in the laboratory.
The Promira is also ideal for production programming. Using its inbuilt Ethernet interface, the unit can be controlled away from the production floor using its API. This gives greater flexibility than the usual USB interface.
Production Testing
In addition to being able to program a blank memory device in production, the Promira can also be used to perform regression tests on the programmed device, ensuring the quality of your manufactured device.
How Do I Buy a Promira?
The Promira serial platform can be configured to run a range of Applications. You simply choose which application, or applications you need when ordering. At least one application must be chosen. Other applications can be purchased when you need them. This makes the Prpmira a great investment as you only pay for applications that you need, saving you money! .
Currently, the following applications are available, with more being developed all the time: .
I2C Active - Level 1 Application
An essential I2C interface with programming speeds are twice as fast as the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter. Featuring support for the I2C fast mode plus specification, the Promira platform equipped with the I2C Active - Level 1 Application provides high speed I2C programming, high performance debugging, and superior emulation for your I2C protocol needs.
I2C Active - Level 2 Application
Features I2C programming speeds up to 3.4 MHz for Master and Slave. Featuring support for the I2C High Speed Mode specification, the Promira platform equipped with the I2C Active - Level 2 Application provides high speed I2C programming, high performance debugging, and superior emulation for your I2C protocol needs.
SPI Active - Level 1 Application
SPI programming speeds are over eight times faster than the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter. Supporting clock speeds of up to 12.5 MHz for master and 8 MHz for slave functionality, the PROMIRA platform equipped with the SPI Active - Level 1 Application provides fast programming, ultra-high performance debugging and superior emulation for your SPI protocol needs.
SPI Active - Level 2 Application
SPI programming speeds are even faster than the Level 1 application - supporting clock speeds of up to 40 MHz for master and 20 MHz for slave functionality, the Promira platform equipped with the SPI Active - Level 2 Application provides fast programming, ultra-high performance debugging and superior emulation for your SPI protocol needs.
