Total Phase: protocol analyzers and adapters for embedded systems
Total Phase designs debugging and development tools for engineers working on embedded systems. Its stated mission is to provide visibility into what happens inside these systems, with affordable, high-quality, high-performance solutions. This page presents the models we have selected and helps you choose the one that matches your bus and your need: observing an exchange or controlling it. To compare with the shop's other tools, see the category Test and debugging tools.
A brand of tools for embedded systems
The company states that its tools are used by Fortune 500 companies as well as small businesses and research institutes. It highlights the ease of use and integration of its products, and says it takes customer feedback into account to improve them. Its devices are made in the USA.
Its catalog notably covers the I2C, SPI, USB and CAN buses. The Beagle analyzers and Cheetah adapter shown here connect to a computer over USB and are used with free downloadable software, on Windows, Linux and macOS.
Analyzer or adapter: which should you choose?
A protocol analyzer listens to a bus without disturbing it and displays what travels on it: it is the tool for understanding an exchange or finding an error. A host adapter on the other hand plays an active role on the bus: it sends commands and can program a memory.

Beagle I2C/SPI
This portable analyzer monitors I2C, SPI and MDIO, with bit-level timing down to 20 ns. Data is streamed continuously to the computer and packets are displayed decoded, in real time. MDIO is used with the API and Data Center software version 2.20.
Cheetah
This USB to SPI adapter works as a master, at over 40 MHz, with up to 3 slave selects. It was designed to communicate with SPI Flash memories and program them, in-system or stand-alone.
