The Binho Pulsar USB Host Adapter allows one to interface a PC directly to hardware circuits. Featuring a USB 2.0 High Speed 480 Mbps link to the host, the Pulsar offers an unmatched value proposition in the test tool market. The Pulsar features a modern USB Type-C port, 5 x RGB LEDs for visual status indication, and a variety of DUT-facing connections all in a compact, robust machined-aluminum enclosure including integrated mounting holes.

The host adapter is able to communicate on many digital buses: I2C, SPI, UART, RS-485, 1-Wire, and CAN-FD. All of these protocols are implemented on their own dedicated pins and can be operated simultaneously. A bank of 6 x dedicated digital GPIO pins can be assigned to other related or unrelated purposes such as GPIO, interrupts, resets, chip selects, etc, as well as operating as digital PWM outputs.

Software Support

Use our Binho Mission Control cross-platform desktop GUI software to point-and-click to send I2C, SPI, and UART transactions. Pulsar also comes with a fully-baked python library to make automated testing a breeze. We even provide numerous examples for real-time data streaming from various devices using Jupyter Notebooks among other helpful resources. For those looking to implement Pulsar in their own software applications, we also offer a C/C++ SDK for direct device access.
