Last year, Total Phase entered the world of USB Type-C with the release of the USB Power Delivery Analyzer (our version of Google’s Chromium USB-PD Sniffer, Twinkie). Last month Total Phase released another Type-C product, the Advanced Cable Tester. And I must say, the Type-C community has been very hospitable and made our experience very welc...
As technology continues its relentless march into our lives, it seems that we will soon start living like the Jetsons. A decade ago, the science behind a microwave oven was a wonder to many people, whereas today we use it on a daily basis and can’t imagine our lives without it. Indeed, we are racing towards a smart-future where intelligent sys...
The USB-IF Compliance Workshop in Taipei November 7-12 marked the end of my 4-week trip in Asia – across 4 countries and 5 cities.

We have the Beagle I2C/SPI Analyzer – it looks like we can use that tool for working with this eSPI device. Is that right? Our system’s signal voltage level is 1.8V so it looks like we’ll need the Level Shifter...
Earlier this week we released the Advanced Cable Tester - the first of its kind cable tester. (Read our press release.) From concept through design to production, this has been the most exciting and wonderful project that I’ve ever been associated with (and I have been around for a while).
Approximately two years ago, the USB-IF released seve...
With Apple's recent announcement of 4 USB Type-C ports on the new MacBook Pro, there's no doubt USB Type-C is moving from the 'early adopter' stage to more mainstream.
USB Type-C goes mainstream image source theverge.com - Vjeran PavicIn the 1980s, serial bus protocols were developed and put to use: Philips developed I2C; Motorola developed SPI. With the continuous advancement and development of chip design and fabrication, more intelligence can now be packed into small packages sized in millimeters than was possible on an entire circuit board. One of the advancements is usin...
