Teledyne LeCroy: Mercury T2C USB 2.0 and Power Delivery Protocol Analyzer

Teledyne LeCroy, Inc. continues to add support for the USB Type-C and Power Delivery 2.0 standards with introduction of the Mercury T2C USB power delivery and USB 2.0 protocol analyzer.

The Mercury T2C joins the Voyager M310C, which together provide the USB development community with extensive levels of capability for test, validation and compliance of the emerging USB standards. The USB Type-C and USB power delivery 2.0 standards introduce entirely new USB cables and connectors expected to improve user experience. USB Type-C provides a smaller sized, reversible connector and is also capable of supporting scalable, bi-directional power charging at up to 100W.

Leveraging Teledyne LeCroy’s extensive experience in USB, users will benefit from the familiar and easy-to-use CATC Trace display.
