For anyone designing DC-DC converters, AC-DC power supplies, or the system around it, understanding the power supply’s operation under both the best and worst conditions is important. The load of the ...

Test probes go a long way toward ensuring accurate, repeatable test results. Here's a look at how both active and passive test probes are evolving to match today's broadening oscilloscope bandwidths.

The oscilloscope is probably the most versatile piece of test equipment you can have on your electronics bench, offering a multitude of possibilities for measuring timing, frequency and voltage as ...

Making accurate, high-speed time domain measurements does not have to be a challenge. Employing a few tips can greatly simplify the task. When choosing the oscilloscope and probe for high-speed ...

A selection of probes, from [Jim Williams’] Linear Technology app note 72. It’s not often that we are shown an entirely new class of test equipment here at Hackaday, so it was with some surprise that ...

Tektronix has announced a second-generation of IsoVu isolated oscilloscope probes, claiming smaller size, easier use and enhanced electrical performance. Isolated probes are for probing power systems ...

Probing solution is industry first to operate at bandwidths greater than 50 GHz with high-impedance probe head High-impedance, turnkey solution delivers bandwidths up to 52 GHz Brickwall and 40 GHz ...

The quality of your signal is dependent on the probe you use, so how do you choose the right test probe for the job? Good testing requires good equipment, which includes probe selection. Oscilloscopes ...

Wherever you find a digital control signal, you find sharp rising and falling edges that need characterization. These edges occur on switching power supplies that drive power MOSFETS and they occur in ...
