The Eclipse M52 Analyzer/Exerciser supports the next generation of M-PHY High Speed Gear 5 (HS-G5), UniPro 2.0/UFS 4.0 development and can be configured now with the new GEAR 5 solder-in probes. The Eclipse M52 analyzer/exerciser assists design and test engineers working with the high data rates and aggressive power management of the UniPro and UFS […]
Data collaboration software works directly on oscilloscope data
TekDrive is the first native oscilloscope-to-cloud software solution to facilitate global data collaboration directly on an oscilloscope, PC, phone or tablet. Created to enable ultimate ease and accuracy in data accessibility and collaboration, TekDrive provides engineers the ability to instantaneously share and recall data directly on an oscilloscope, eliminating the need for cumbersome data-sharing practices. […]
Debug tookit for DDR5 and LPDDR5 handles 6,400 Mb/sec data rates
A DDR5 Debug Toolkit runs on SDA 8 Zi-B and LabMaster 10Zi-A oscilloscopes. The DDR Debug Toolkit now supports DDR5/LPDDR5 for test, analysis and debug of the entire DDR design cycle. Features include automatic Read/Write burst separation, bursted data jitter analysis, eye diagram mask tests, DDR-specific measurement parameters, and seamless integration with the HDA-125 High-Speed […]
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 […]
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 […]
Working with oscilloscope probes, part two
The oscilloscope can be viewed as essentially a voltmeter that incorporates a dynamic display. But the oscilloscope can also make use of a current probe to convert current information into corresponding voltage potentials displayed in units of Amperes. The current-to-voltage conversion takes place within the current probe which operates like the electrician’s clamp-on ammeter. The […]
Basics of oscilloscope probes – Part one
Engineers know what an oscilloscope probe is. It basically permits the user to measure the voltage at any terminal or wire and display the waveform. It usually incorporates a needle point that is capable of getting into a tight place without shorting out to another pin, wire or grounded surface. And it can be equipped […]
