High-Performance Logic Analyzers for Digital Signal Debugging
Track, decode, and validate digital signals with ultra-precise timing tools built by Physical Layer Tech for next-gen embedded systems.
Overview
Digital systems require deep, time-aligned insight into signal behavior to function reliably—and that’s exactly what our Logic Analyzers deliver. At Physical Layer Tech, we design precise, user-friendly analyzers that allow engineers and technicians to capture, decode, and debug complex digital protocols across multiple channels in real time.
Whether working with embedded systems, microcontrollers, or digital communications, our tools offer the flexibility and speed needed to spot glitches, decode logic transitions, and troubleshoot synchronization issues.
Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, we are a trusted North American leader in the IoT testing space. Our logic analyzers are the result of rigorous product development, backed by customer-centric support and a strict quality process. With a growing B2B footprint, Physical Layer Tech continues to empower hardware and software teams to innovate faster and smarter.
