While the types of electrical tests required during the design and production of power conversion equipment are similar to those required for previous generations of devices, the adoption of wide-bandgap materials like silicon carbide (SiC) or gallium nitride (GaN) requires added rigor and new test strategies.
Bench testing continues to play an important role at every stage of the development of …
DesignCon 2023 is happening January 31 – February 2, 2023 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA and we’ll be at Booth 727. Swing by and we’ll show you – in real time – practical applications to solve current and emerging test challenges.
Here’s what you’ll find…
Deep Dive Into DDR5 and LPDDR5/5X
Explore the Tektronix memory solutions (leveraging powerful analysis tools) on AMD’s …
Innovation in semiconductor technology is enabling more efficient and dense power conversion in hybrid and electric vehicles. Wide bandgap silicon carbide (SiC) technology enables faster switching and lower switching loss in high voltage EV systems.
However, the same fast switching and high voltage capabilities that make SiC MOSFETs so promising, also create measurement challenges. Probing the …
We’re in a new age of data. As our world becomes more enabled and new technologies are implemented, the world is experiencing an explosion in the amount of data being generated and processed. According to Statista global research, there will be 97 Zettabytes of data created this year. Even more jarring is the acceleration of the pace at which that data is being created; a 2020 study delivered by …
In this article, we will explore in detail some best practices to follow when handling Tektronix's isolated differential probe, also known as IsoVu™ probes.
What is IsoVu?
IsoVu is the brand name used to describe Tektronix's isolated differential probes. Generation One (TIVHx/TIVMx) was released several years ago, and Generation Two (TIVPx) came out more recently. IsoVu probes were originally …
Tektronix has been a leader in developing cutting-edge oscilloscope probe technology for nearly 30 years. The infographic below highlights some of the key innovations and probe features we’ve developed in the last few decades. From low noise, low loading, and high bandwidth power rail probes to low input capacitance, high voltage single ended probes, our portfolio is designed to help engineers …
An oscilloscope probe is a device that makes a physical and electrical
connection between a test point or signal source and an oscilloscope.
Depending on your measurement needs, this connection can be made with something as simple as a length of wire or with
something as sophisticated as an active differential probe. Essentially, a probe is some sort of device or network
that connects the signal …
From augmented reality to artificial intelligence, cloud computing to IoT, 5G is fueling growth in new technologies – and the data they create. With more and more data comes the need for storage and fast access which means that technology like DDR5 has never been more important. The need for data centers to continuously store, transfer and process this data pushes the limits of high-speed …
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 …
