Introduction
The Teledyne LeCroy USB Embedded Probe is a portable pod
and cable assembly that allows probing of low speed,
full-speed, and high-speed USB protocols in setups that do
not expose external USB connectors and cables. The probe
can capture either HS/FS/LS at normal USB voltages, or
ICUSB Low and Full speed signaling.
Supported protocols are:
Low-speed and Full-speed USB 1.1 protocols
Low-speed, Full-speed, and High-speed USB 2.0
protocols
Low-speed and Full-speed Inter-chip USB protocols
The probe can be used with any Teledyne LeCroy analyzer
that supports USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 capture, including both
CATC- and Catalyst-based products.

3Description
The USB Embedded Probe allows Teledyne LeCroy PSG
Protocol Analyzer systems to capture Low-, Full-, and
High-speed USB protocols. An LED indicates whether the
probe is powered.
USB: The interface uses standard USB type A plug
connectors (USB Mobile uses mini-A to Standard-A adapter).
Connect Power Supply “A” plug to USB “A” Port on the
computer or to USB power supply. Connect the other “A”
probe plug to the Teledyne LeCroy USB protocol analyzer “A”
receptacle.
Leads: For low- and full-speed use, the lead set may be
connected directly to the USB device using a header pin or
may be soldered directly to the device pins.
For high-speed use, 45.3-ohm resistors must be
used to isolate the lead set from the USB D+ and D- signals.
These resistors may be pressed into the end of the lead set
and soldered to the device.
The micrograbber probe tips may be used to connect
to ground, VDD IO, and low- or full-speed USB D+ and D-
signals. The micrograbber may not be used to connect to the
high speed USB D+ and D- signals.
For the Inter-Chip USB application, connect the lead
set to the Inter-Chip connector on the USB probe. Connect
the D+ lead to the D+ signal, the D- lead to the D- signal, the
GND lead to device ground, and the VDD lead to the device
IO voltage pin (1.0 V to 3.3 V).
For the USB 2.0 application, connect the lead set to
the USB 2.0 connector on the probe. Connect the D+ lead to
the D+ signal, the D- lead to the D- signal, and the GND lead
to device ground. Note: For high-speed mode, the D+ and D-
leads must be connected through the 45.3-ohm resistors.
Terminator: For high-speed mode only, connect USB-B
terminator to analyzer “B” port.
Capture: After the Probe is set up, the analyzer should be
able to capture USB traffic as if it were tapping a normal
cable connection between host and device.
USB Speed: For standard USB level signals, the five-pin
connector labeled “USB 2.0" is used. For Inter-Chip
Low-Speed and Full-Speed, the connector labeled Inter-Chip
is used.
