The new PicoScope 4425A EV Oscilloscope Kit is designed to provide a comprehensive diagnostics capability for all types of vehicles with electric (BEV, MHEV, PHEV, Fuel-cell) and internal combustion (diesel, gasoline, LPG) powertrains. It provides service shops with a futureproof system for analyzing vehicles with high-voltage batteries and electric motor systems. In combination with the […]
Isolated scope probes feature high bandwidth, dynamic range, CMRR
The second-generation IsoVu Isolated Oscilloscope Probes, called the TIVP Series, extend the applications for isolated probe technology to the entire power system design market with a smaller size, improved ease of use, and enhanced electrical performance. Making accurate measurements on high-speed ungrounded systems can be nearly impossible using traditional differential probes. Engineers working with wide-bandgap […]
Bi-phase modulators encode RF carriers via 2PSK
A new line of bi-phase modulators covere broad octave frequency bands from 0.5 to 40 GHz. These models use TTL logic to phase-modulate data onto an RF carrier signal using two-phase shift keying (2PSK). Useful applications include military and commercial communications systems, microwave radio, radar, high-data-rate test & measurement, serial data transmission and wireless base […]
Common-mode differential probes excel at 48-V GaN power conversion work
New DL-HCM probes from Teledyne LeCroy target 48-V GaN Power Conversion. They are available in 500 MHz and 1 GHz bandwidth and feature 60 V of common-mode and 80 V differential input range. The 60 V of common mode is well suited for handling any float of the battery and bulk/absorption voltage during charging, while […]
