NXP Semiconductors KIT-TPLSNIFEVB TPL Sniffer Tool

NXP Semiconductors KIT-TPLSNIFEVB TPL Sniffer Tool is designed to facilitate acquiring Transformer Physical Layer (TPL) signals for a logic analyzer. Placed in any TPL bus, the Sniffer Tool non-intrusively listens to all TPL messages and monitors the frame traffic on the bus. The onboard LC33664 Isolated Network Transceiver outputs the TPL messages to the data output port in SPI format. The data output port connects to the logic analyzer, which provides full analysis of the data.

The NXP Semiconductors KIT-TPLSNIFEVB TPL Sniffer Tool can be powered through the USB Micro-B connector by a 5.0V source with 50mA (average) and 150mA (peak), typically a USB power bank or a USB cable connected to a computer.
