Mercury T2C Protocol Analyzer

The pocket sized Mercury T2C supports the USB Type-C and Power Delivery 2.0 & 3.0 standards including capture and decoding of all packets over the new USB Type-C Configuration Channel (CC). The Mercury T2C is the industry’s smallest and most affordable hardware-based USB protocol analyzer, weighing in at just 5.8oz. The pocket sized Mercury T2C analyzer includes new-to-existing adapters allowing users to utilize the Mercury T2C with their existing devices and hosts, creating an analyzer which is both backward compatible and future safe. Leveraging Teledyne LeCroy’s extensive experience in USB, users will benefit from the familiar and easy to use CATC Trace.

USB Power Delivery 2.0 & 3.00

The Mercury T2C can capture and decode USB Power Delivery 2.0 & 3.0 packets over the Type-C Configuration Channel (CC) in addition to USB 2.0 data packets. Users can view the CC packets including cable detection, bi-directional power negotiation of USB current capabilities, UFP and DFP role swaps, entrance to / exit from Alternate Modes and other Type-C Power Delivery characteristics.

USB Device Decoding

Comprehensive USB Device class decoding is included with the Mercury T2C.

This allows users to see upper-level mapped protocol events within the trace eliminating the tedious process of manually decoding device specific commands. From Mass Storage Class to Communication Device Class (CDC), the Mercury T2C provides the most complete decoding of USB device transactions.

Affordable and Portable

The Mobile T2C leads the industry in affordability with comprehensive USB 2.0 test and analysis features. Starting at $995, the Mercury T2C can be used virtually anywhere, extending beyond the lab environment over to the personal workstations of USB developers. Every engineer within a design team (hardware, software, and firmware) will appreciate the benefit of having a personal analyzer to fit their individual needs.

View and Understand USB Protocol

Featuring the industry-leading CATC Trace expert analysis software, the Mercury T2C system provides an easy-to-use display that graphically decodes logical protocol events. With the Standard or Advanced edition, all protocol levels can be expanded to show the underlying transactions and packets.

Non-intrusive Analysis Hardware

Completely passive in design, the Mercury T2C preserves real-world signaling and provides 100% faithful representation of traffic on the bus. Featuring a high-impedance, non-intrusive probe, the Mercury acts strictly as a "sniffer" and does not re-time or affect signal amplitude between the host and device. 256MB of physical data recording memory can be extended with filtering and data truncation.

Real Time Triggering

Isolating specific protocol events with real time triggering is essential to capture intermittent problems. The Mercury T2C provides sophisticated triggering with drag-and-drop selections for PID type, data patterns, standard requests, errors, and bus events.

The Mercury provides 14 protocol error triggers with auto-detection of several additional post-capture errors. The ability to trigger & pinpoint specific bus conditions as they occur saves time during testing and debug.

Precision Timing Measurements

The CATC trace software includes a persistent timing display that provides one-click measurements between events. The bandwidth calculator provides full bus utilization metrics for any range of packets.

Find The Issues Fast

Teledyne LeCroy's USB software provides many mechanisms to measure and report on USB traffic. The Bus Utilization graphs data, packet length, and bus usage by device. Using the Traffic Summary window, users can evaluate statistical reports at a glance or navigate to individual packets.

Zero Time Search

Powerful search and reporting options allow users to quickly navigate to specific packets, errors and any data type within a trace file. The CATC Trace also supports filter and hide commands, to remove irrelevant data from the Trace for efficient viewing.
