Software Updates

Major I2C Studio / I2C Framework software update. We have spent quite a lot of effort into this new release. SMBus-Support, many new tracing facilities and an all new plug-in system to show device communication on a logical level are just a few highlights of this new release. This includes tracer solutions for both, Smart Battery and SMBus.
TraciiSpy/TraciiTalk update

Web

telos recently revised its website completely:
Complete change of navigation. Much more information on our products and services.
A shop helps collecting the items you want and getting price information. However, although it's called a shop you are just placing a request for quotation.
Application Notes for the different products.
The content of the former I2C forum is available via the product pages' Faq / Support sub-nodes, e.g. here are the Tracii 400 related postings. In case you want to give us some feedback on our products please take use of the feedback page.

Special Offer

There is a special promotion just for the subscribers of this newsletter.

New Product: Connii MM

For almost two years telos successfully sells the USB driven I2C interface Connii. Now we are launching Connii MM, which is in essence compatible with Conni, but offers additional features:

Multimaster support: Several masters can drive the same I2C bus.
Clock stretching support: Slaves may stretch the bus to decrease the bus speed.
Check the product page for more details.

Connii MM is available for 333 Euro.

New Product: I2C Flasher

Our I2C Flasher is an industrial solution for your EEPROM and flash programming needs. Check the I2C Flasher product page for details.

New Product: Tracii 400 Cardbus Adapter

Many notebooks are nowadays shipped without a parallel port. This means that a Tracii 400 cannot be connected directly. In this case we highly recommend our I2C USB interfaces Connii, Connii MM and Tracii XL.

In addition, we now offer a solution for the Cardbus used with most notebooks. This adapter provides a parallel port on its own. An updated Tracii 400 driver is available to specifically support this cardbus adapter. Thus, you can use your Tracii 400 with e.g. your notebook.

Check the product page for more details.
