Description

 

GRL-USB-PD-A1 (GRL-A1) is the only solution available that analyzes for proper performance of USB Power Delivery 3.0 and all other charging technologies over USB Type-C and all other USB connectors without having to be an expert user USB Type-C is becoming one of the most widely adopted interface technologies and is rapidly evolving to support more and more communication and charging protocols. The GRL-A1 makes it easy for anyone to understand what is transpiring between two devices connected over USB Type-C. Expert users can look at detailed USB Power Delivery protocol communication and conveniently monitor in real-time VBUS voltage and current, CC/VCONN voltage and current, and Rd. Everyday users can also use GRL software to quickly understand if proper USB Power Delivery communication and charging performance is happening, and to explain what went wrong.

 

The GRL-A1 can be used to analyze behavior between any USB Type-C based device such as Apple Mac’s, Chromebooks,Android phones, Thunderbolt 3 docks, DisplayPort adapters, Qualcomm Quick Charge AC adapters, USB PD power banks, and cable E-Markers, etc. Using passive adapters, the GRL-A1 can also check for power and USB Power Delivery protocol communication over Apple Lightning connectors, and analyze charging behavior over USB micro-B and Type-A connectors.

 

Professionals and enthusiasts can use the GRL-A1 to easily check if their USB Type-C device is charging properly and safely. Developers of USB Type-C devices and technical experts can utilize the GRL-A1 to validate their design and debug issues.
