- Are you working on power circuit stability?
- Are your DC-DC converters performing as expected?
- Are you having trouble optimizing your power conversion circuits?
- Are you having trouble getting the promised efficiency and performance from your fast switching power converter?
Current power supply topologies are reliable and well understood in the power electronics industry. New wide bandgap semiconductors like SiC and GaN are poised to play a bigger role in power convertor applications but require fine tuning designs that may be reaching their limits. Increasing need for efficiency with growing power circuit density is being pushed from industries such as automotive, data-centers, renewable systems, consumer electronics, and industrial power electronics, are creating new test and measurement challenges in power stability.
Power designers typically perform Control Loop Response (CLR) analysis and Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) measurements to ensure the stability of feedback path of the control loop. Solving these challenges is tough for engineers. They typically need a standalone Frequency Response Analyzer or VNA to get critical insights to the signal behavior.
However, there may be better solutions in the market used by every power engineer which is, go-to resource for power supply measurement and analysis – that is, the oscilloscope.
Tektronix has created a kit solution that uses the 5 Series or 6 Series MSOs to give a single box solution for power supply measurement and analysis. The kit provides everything required to accurately test Control loop Response and PSRR – in addition to switching loss, inductor and transformer loss, and safe operation area (SOA).
Tektronix Control Loop Response Analysis kit comes equipped with powerful 5/6-PWR software which enables testing switching loss, conduction loss, magnetic property, input and output power quality measurements, and overall power/system efficiency.
