The Plugable USB 3.1 Type-C (USB-C) Power Delivery Sniffer enables the monitoring of USB power delivery traffic between two USB Type-C devices. Based on the open design of the Google device codenamed 'twinkie' that was not offered for sale to the public as a finished product, our device is designed to enable those working with and developing products using the new USB-C PD standard to have a window into what communications are occurring between devices. When connected between a Type-C host and Type-C power supply, packet traces can be captured using the open source 'sigrok' application and the resultant traces can be viewed using the companion open source 'PulseView' application. This view into the communication between both a host and power source can be invaluable during product testing and development.
