The Teledyne LeCroy Mercury T2C is a compact, bus-powered USB 2.0 and Power Delivery protocol analyzer built for Type-C environments. This hardware-based solution captures and decodes USB 2.0 traffic across all speed modes—Low Speed, Full Speed, and High Speed—plus USB Power Delivery 2.0 and 3.0 signaling. The non-intrusive, high-impedance probe design preserves signal integrity during real-time capture. Connected to a Windows PC via USB Type-B, the analyzer streams traffic to disk for extended recording sessions and employs CATC Trace Analysis Software for protocol visualization and detailed event decoding.
