SMUs vs. 5 Other Instruments Tuesday, August 6, 2024
Source Measure Units (SMUs) are versatile instruments developed at the advent of semiconductors to characterize their complex behavior. Key capabilities of a SMU include 4-quadrant operation, precision measurement and sourcing, and high speed. These capabilities make SMUs similar to a range of other test and measurement equipment, yet different in meaningful ways. This blog explores some of the …

Remote Oscilloscope Control Accelerates Electronic Testing Tuesday, July 30, 2024
Remote control, remote analysis, and automation are simplifying and accelerating the development of electronic systems and devices. Electronics have long been heading towards remote operations, further perpetuated by the rise of remote work during the pandemic. With engineers frequently operating hazardous equipment like dynamometers, removing personnel from risk has always been a priority. Now we …
Engineer using a 4 Series B MSO oscilloscope with motor drive analysis software to analyze the 3-phase output of a motor drive used in an electric vehicle
Bringing More Power Analysis Tools to Engineers’ Benches with the 4 Series B MSO Thursday, July 18, 2024
It can be challenging to consistently measure the performance of AC-DC and DC-DC converters. These challenges have become even greater as designers work to transition from silicon-based power converters to wide bandgap semiconductors such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN). Designers of 3-phase systems such as motor drives face additional complexity. Thankfully, help is available …

Test and Measurement in the Quantum Era Wednesday, July 17, 2024
From an engineer’s perspective the continuous advancement of quantum hardware and technologies is amazing. My interest began with curiosity about quantum physics. Now that curiosity is expanding as I gain a deeper understanding of the test processes, principles and criteria being used by these emerging technologies and how Tektronix can serve them. But let’s start at the beginning. A Growing …
Low frequency response curves with AC coupling or DC reject turned on, for different types of probes
Probe Points: Understanding Low Frequency Response Friday, June 28, 2024
The Practice of AC Coupling and DC Reject Modes The practice of AC coupling the scope input or using a probe with DC reject capability is very common when looking at noise and/or ripple of DC power rails. Anytime there is insufficient DC offset available, then users often elect to use AC Coupling or DC Reject settings. With the focus on clean power, we see users more interested than ever before in …
