Oscilloscopes and probes play a vital role for engineers designing and testing power electronics. Delivering electrical power to analog and digital circuits and systems is more than just DC measurements. That’s because nearly all power-converter circuits use switching techniques to maximize efficiency. Silicon carbide (SiC and gallium nitride (GaN) transistors, with their higher voltage and […]

Isolated scope optimized for high-voltage, fast-slew-rate signals
The Cleverscope CS548 Oscilloscope is a 2-kV dc isolated-channel oscilloscope designed to be used wherever isolation and high CMRR are needed. It improves on the previous and successful CS448 for power electronics and high side test measurements. The CS548 is an individually isolated-channel high CMRR oscilloscope with four channels that has been designed for measurements […]
Gallery: Interesting instruments on display at PCIM Europe
PCIM Europe is often proclaimed to be the world’s leading exhibition and conference for power electronics, intelligent motion, renewable energy, and energy management. Recently finishing up in Nuremberg, the exhibition floor of PCIM featured over 500 booths. Here are some of the more notable test & measurement we saw in touring the event. NEXT PAGE: […]
Isolated high-voltage 4-channel 200-MHz oscilloscope handles SiC MOSFET apps
Improvements to the Cleverscope CS448 — an isolated high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) four-channel 200MHz 14-bit oscilloscope — let it measure high voltages – now up to 1,600 V – for fast slew-rate signals such as those in a full or three-phase power electronics switching bridge. Examples of challenging measurement tasks the CS448 can handle […]
Isolated-channel PC-based scope designed for high-common-mode slew measurements
The CS448 isolated-channel oscilloscope provides four isolated analog channels and eight digital channels. Developed by Cleverscope, it includes a 0-65-MHz isolated signal generator, USB 3, a 1-Gbit Ethernet port using an SFP socket for either wired or optical ethernet connection, and a general-purpose 16-pin mixed-signal control port using programmable hardware (a Silego SLG46533V) which includes […]
