Cerritos, CA, February 4, 2009 – For the first time, system
integrators and test engineers have access to an I2C analysis
instrument that combines a rich set of features, ease-of-use,
and an affordable price. The introduction of the BusPro-I™
is another example of Corelis’ product innovation focused on
reducing costs associated with product design, validation and
test. Corelis, the preferred JTAG solutions provider, has
employed its tools technology to supply engineers with a bus
analyzer that offers a highly convenient and intuitive
environment for I2C hardware debugging, software development and
in-system programming.
Applications for the BusPro-I™ include embedded software and
firmware development, hardware debug and system performance
verification. Also included is In-System Programming (ISP),
which facilitates programming and verification of I˛C-compatible
EEPROM devices with the BusPro-I™’s intuitive “one-click”
interface to display and update memory contents. Software
developers can monitor and log I˛C bus traffic in real-time and
decoded I˛C protocol is displayed to show the bus transactions
in easily comprehended format. Hardware debugging features
include exercising the I˛C bus and communicating with its
peripheral components. This provides a convenient interface to
“peek” and “poke” device registers while simultaneously watching
the traffic on the bus.
“Board designers and test engineers will appreciate how our
products are specifically created to provide them with
inexpensive solutions that are nonetheless equipped with an
uncompromising list of features, outstanding performance, and
exceptional reliability,” said George B. La Fever, CEO and
President of Corelis. “Engineers building products that
incorporate I2C-enabled processors, such as those from Texas
Instruments, will find the BusPro-I™ an invaluable aid in
their development process. This introduction further establishes
Corelis as a supplier truly committed toward lowering our
clients’ test and development costs.”
Many of the features provided by the BusPro-I™ are available
only with high-end systems. Among its features are:
-
Support for I˛C and SMBus
-
High-speed USB 2.0 interface
-
Support for Standard-mode, Fast-mode, and Fast-mode Plus
(Fm+) with I˛C bit rates up to 5 Mbit/s
-
Support for High-speed mode (Hs-mode) monitoring up to 5
Mbit/s
-
Traffic monitoring with unlimited time-stamped state and
waveform recording, message filtering, and symbolic
translation
-
Two
general purpose I/O channels
-
Programmable trigger event to highlight bus transactions of
interest
-
Automatic detection of bus voltage and signal thresholds
-
Programmable bus voltage reference and pull-up resistors on
the SDA and SCL lines
-
File-linked In-System Programming of serial EEPROMs
-
32-Bit Windows® XP/Vista software with an easy to use
Graphical User Interface
The BusPro-I™ is available at the
special introductory price of $995, substantially lower than the
regular list price of $1,250.
Corelis continues to offer the highly acclaimed CAS-1000-I2C/E,
which includes all the features of the BusPro-I™ as well a
number of more advanced capabilities especially targeting the
strenuous analysis, debug and verification needs of IC engineers
whose chips are equipped with I2C bus support.
