    UM11650 NXP Semiconductors KIT-TPLSNIFEVB tool 1 Introduction The KIT-TPLSNIFEVB, also called transport protocol link (TPL) sniffer is working with a logic analyzer (preferably a Saleae logic analyzer) and its software to help analyze electrical transport protocol link (ETPL) signals. Figure 1. KIT-TPLSNIFEVB Placed in any ETPL bus, it non-intrusively listens to all messages and monitors the frame traffic on the bus (the TPL sniffer works in listen mode only).

    UM11650 NXP Semiconductors KIT-TPLSNIFEVB tool Note: The two ETPL interface connectors are named J1 and J2 in the schematic diagram. Figure 5. ETPL bus connectors 5.1.1 Optional ETPL bus loading The TPL sniffer is designed to add minimal load to the ETPL bus by default. Therefore, it does not add any termination impedance and the differential load seen from the bus is that of an input impedance of the MC33664 reflected on the high-voltage side by the 1 : 1 ratio T1 isolation transformer.
