The Braintechnology USB-LPS is a Cypress FX2 based 16-channel, 24MHz, USB-based logic analyzer and signal/pattern generator.

See Braintechnology USB-LPS/Info for some more details (such as lsusb -vvv output) on the device.

Components

  • Cypress CY7C68013A-56PVXC (FX2)
  • Atmel ATTiny13-20SU
  • LD33 (3.3V voltage regulator)
  • 24MHz crystal

Protocol

Firmware upload

The FX2 firmware (3072 bytes in size) is uploaded before every sampling run. Certain bytes in the firmware differ depending on the selected sampling rate.
