What is power integrity?Power integrity is the assurance that power applied to a circuit or device is appropriate for the desired performance of the circuit or device.Such sensitive electronic designs require modern test solutions. When measuring pow...
The power delivery network distributes and delivers the DC power to all active components on the board. Disturbances on power rails can cause serious impairments in the performance of the used ICs and the overall system, so power integrity is a param...
Modern electronic designs increasingly integrate more functionality into less space. At the same time, processor speeds, clock and data rates are rising while signal levels are decreasing. All these developments result in a growing need for testing a...
What is your challenge?Embedded designs are an integral part of today’s electronic systems comprising analog signals as well as signals from serial and parallel buses. When debugging such designs, a common challenge is to simultaneously capture enoug...
Why does deep memory in an oscilloscope matter? In brief, deep memory ensures that long waveforms are captured in high resolution with all needed signal details thanks to a high sustained sample rate.Acquisition memory depth, equals the number of sam...
Modern circuitries require different voltage and/or current levels in different operating states. For example, when simulating a startup sequence of an embedded system specialized voltage and current profiles synchronized across several channels are ...
Let’s learn more about the logging and fast logging functionality of R&S®︎NGM and R&S®︎NGL. The associated application program provides charting functionality for logged voltage, current and power values. Standard loggingStandard logging r...
The importance of battery lifetimeRechargeable batteries used in battery-powered devices and vehicles need to be stimulated, measured and tested. Overcharging and deep discharging reduce the lifetime of rechargeable batteries. Defects could lead to o...
Efficiency is often the key factor in power converters, where efficiencies above 90% are required. This is true for battery operated IoT devices to get the most out of the battery, and it is also true for small DCDC converters supplied by a DC rail. ...
Oscilloscopes are everyday instruments for engineers and electricians. Maintenance tasks, however, sometimes require very specific measurements that are not available as standard functionality or are difficult to set up manually. For instance, the R&...
The correction of a bad circuit can be difficult with conventional edge triggers because the error state cannot be selected precisely. That is the reason why modern oscilloscopes offer various digital triggers that are specialized to address specific...
Oscilloscopes are widely used for electrical designing as well as for testing and debugging almost anything that runs electricity. They are primarily used to measure and display voltage versus time for periodic or repeating waveforms. Modern oscillos...
The new era of performance power supplies from Rohde & Schwarz has now begun with the launch of the R&S®︎NGP800 series. These power supplies are designed for versatile applications. They are ideal when speed and advanced programming features a...
Precompliance, as well as debugging tests, are most commonly done with the help of a spectrum analyzer or an oscilloscope. The approach and diagnostic techniques of oscilloscopes were discussed in the last blog post. Testing Setup This arti...
Benefits of using an oscilloscope Oscilloscopes are the workhorses for power electronics engineers. With powerful and easy-to-use FFT analysis capabilities, their application fields extend to EMI debugging – and that saves a lot of time and mone...
Different test equipment for EMI testsEMI debugging revolves around a simple idea – to have a convenient and affordable setup that can be used during product design for verification and early detection of potential problems. Each step of the product ...
What is EMC and why is it important?Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing is a critical part of any product development journey. EMC is strictly regulated by development and production standards to ensure products’ safe operation next to other ...
