How Spectrum View Outperforms Traditional Oscilloscope FFTs with Tighter Frequency Resolution Over Wider Ranges
Debugging embedded systems often involves looking for clues that are hard to discover just by looking at one domain at a time. The ability to view time and frequency domains simultaneously can enable you to measure a power rail’s voltage during wireless transmissions or observe nearfield …
Switching Losses Matter Even in the New SiC and GaN World
As GaN and SiC enable smaller, faster, and more efficient semiconductor designs, regulatory and economic pressures are driving new demands for energy efficiency in power electronics. Minimizing switching losses through design optimization is paramount in maintaining power efficiency throughout the generation, transmission, and consumption …
The Top 6 Serial Bus Decode Packages on Tektronix Oscilloscopes
I recently took a look at which bus decode packages engineers are choosing for their scopes. I thought I would share what I learned in case it helps people predict which bus support they will need. In addition to a few thoughts on each of the most popular buses, you will find links to app notes on many of them. For this post I looked …
One of the biggest challenges power electronic designers face is connecting probes to circuit boards, maintaining both electrical and mechanical integrity. As components and modules continue to become smaller and smaller, the connectivity challenge will only become more difficult. How will you face this challenge? This blog will explore some of the current challenges in connectivity and some …
