Input analysis

Power quality measurements, Current Harmonics, Input Capacitance, and Inrush Current are the four common sets of measurements made on the input section of a power supply, to analyze the effects of the power supply on the power line and evaluate the performance of the supply under various line conditions.

Power Quality

These measurements are optimized for line frequencies and are commonly performed at the AC line input of the power supply. They provide fast insight into the amount of power and the level of distortion at the input.

Measurements include:

  • RMS voltage and current

  • Frequency

  • True, apparent, and reactive power

  • Power factor

  • Crest factors of Voltage and Current

Power Quality measurements deliver information in multiple formats. Numerical results (upper right), tables (upper), and instantaneous power waveform and energy plots (lower)

Harmonics

Any power supply with a non-linear device on its input (e.g. a rectifier) presents a nonlinear load to the AC line. Unless mitigated, excessive harmonic energy can affect the operation of other equipment connected to the power line and increase the cost of delivering the electric power. This has resulted in standards limiting harmonics generated by line-powered devices.

Advanced Power Measurement and Analysis include the test limits for IEC61000-3-2, AM 14, MIL- STD-1399, DO-160, and Custom standards. These standards help you perform pre-compliance testing before investing in official compliance testing. The Custom Limits will assist with upcoming new standards and designs when limits are still being defined. With the Custom option, you can set and modify the limits. Power Harmonics computes up to the 400th order harmonics and displays them as bar graphs and also in tabular formats. This lets you easily navigate between the table results and individual harmonics on the bar graph, act as a powerful debug step.

Input capacitance and Inrush current measurement

4-PWR-BAS, 4-PWR, 5-PWR, and 6-PWR provides peak inrush current and capacitance measurements for testing switching power supplies during operation.

Inrush current, input surge current or switch-on surge is the maximum, instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device when first turned on. Power converters have inrush current that is more than their steady state current due to the charging current of input capacitance. Measuring inrush current and input capacitance is important to ensure the design works effectively.

Switching component analysis

The accurate calculation and evaluation of energy loss in power supplies has become even more critical with the drive toward higher power conversion efficiency and greater reliability.

Switching loss measurements

Although almost all components of a power supply contribute to energy losses, a significant portion of energy losses in a switch-mode power supply (SMPS) occur when the switching transistor transitions from a Turn-off (Toff) to a Turn-on (Ton) state and vice versa (Turn-off loss). By measuring the voltage drop across the switching device and the current flowing through the switching device, Advance Power Analysis automatically calculates switching loss measurement parameters for each cycle.

Until recently, taking switching measurements on the high side of half-bridge switching stages were almost impossible. Any measurement relative to the switching node, including high-side VDS and voltages across current shunts, suffered from distortion due to the significant common-mode voltage signal impinging on the differential signal. This problem is worse with wide bandgap devices, such as GaN and SiC transistors, as switching frequencies increase and the need to optimize new designs becomes imperative.

The 4/5/6 Series B MSO is designed to work with IsoVu optically isolated probes, enabling designers to perform accurate switching measurements even in the presence of high common mode signals.

Switching Loss shows power dissipation in a FET. Waveforms are annotated with color-coded markers showing the measurement regions for Ton, Toff, and Total cycle, corresponding to values in the results badge. Controls in the results badge let you easily traverse from cycle to cycle.

Switching loss measurements include special settings to produce stable, repeatable measurements on active power factor correction stages, and flyback converters.

To get an overview of the switching loss for all captured cycles, you can use the trajectory plot. It automatically plots the voltage across the switch versus current through the switch during turn-on and turn-off, letting you judge the range of switching loss for all cycles at a glance.

5 PWR EN US 61W 61271 13
Switching Loss Trajectory Plots (upper window) show the Ton loss, and Toff loss for all switching cycles in a single plot.

Safe operating area

The Safe Operating Area (SOA) plot is a graphical technique for evaluating a switching device to ensure that it is not being stressed beyond its maximum specifications. SOA testing can be used to validate performance over a range of operating conditions, including load variations, temperature changes, and variations in input voltages. Mask testing can also be used with SOA plots to automate validation.

5 PWR EN US 61W 61271 13
Safe Operating Area (SOA) plot with mask helps verify the switching devices are staying within their SOA envelope under changing operating conditions.

RDS(on)

This measurement characterizes the resistance of the switching device during the conduction cycle, when the device is ON and conducting current. The dynamic-on-resistance is the ratio of the voltage across the device when it is turned ON to the current flowing through the device. The software ensures that the minimum RDSon value in the acquisition is highlighted and zoomed in for easy viewing. In addition, the traverse capability helps to move from cycle to cycle to the respective RDSon values.

Magnetic analysis (available only in 4/5/6-PWR)

Supports the following measurements:

  • Inductance
  • Magnetic property including BH curve
  • Magnetic loss
  • I vs. ʃV

Magnetic components are an important part of any power supply system. Inductors and transformers are used as energy storage devices in both switch-mode and linear power supplies. Some power supplies also use Inductors in filters at their output stage. Given their important role in the system, it is essential to characterize these magnetic components to determine the stability and overall efficiency of the power supply.

Inductance

Inductors exhibit increasing impedance as frequency increases, impeding higher frequencies more than lower frequencies. This behavior is known as inductance and is measured in units of Henries. The inductance can be measured automatically with Advanced Power Measurement and Analysis software.

Magnetic loss

An analysis of magnetic power losses is essential to accurately characterize the efficiency, reliability, and performance of a switching power supply. Advanced Power Measurement and Analysis software measures the inductive total magnetic power loss, as shown in the following figure.

Magnetic Property

This measurement computes the properties of the magnetic components including magnetic flux density (B), magnetic field intensity strength (H) and various loss components including Hysteresis Loss and Total Loss. This measurement also supports multiple secondary source configuration based on the scope channel count.

B-H plots

The properties of magnetic materials are described by the magnetic flux density (B), magnetic field intensity strength (H), and the magnetic permeability of a material (μ). B-H plots are often used to verify the saturation (or lack thereof) of the magnetic elements in a switching supply and provide a measure of the energy lost per cycle in a unit volume of core material. Advanced Power Measurement and Analysis software measures the voltage across the magnetic element and the current flowing through it, and plots B versus H, as shown in the following figure. You can test multiple secondary windings of a transformer simultaneously, thereby ensuring faster validation/testing times leading to faster time to market.

I vs. ∫V plot

I vs. ∫V plot provides insight to the B and H values, proportional to the voltage and current. This is the integral of the voltage and current waveforms in X-Y plot format as shown in the following figure.

Magnetic Analysis measurement with B-H curve, I vs. ʃV, and Inductance plots

Output analysis

The ultimate goal of a DC-output power supply is to transform input power into one or more DC output voltages. The most important output measurements for switching power supplies are line ripple and switching ripple.

Line and switching ripple

The quality of a power supply's DC output should be clean, with minimal AC noise and ripple. Advanced Power Measurements and Analysis software measures ripple to help you isolate the cause. Line ripple measurements indicate the amount of AC signal related to the input line frequency (since the input is rectified, line ripple is usually twice the frequency of the AC line). Switching ripple measures the amount of AC signal related to the switching frequency.

5 PWR EN US 61W 61271 13
Ripple analysis helps distinguish low-frequency line ripple from higher frequency switching noise.

Efficiency

Device or product efficiency is a critical differentiator in today’s competitive environment. Advanced Power Measurements and Analysis software lets you easily measure your product's power conversion efficiency (AC-DC, AC-AC, DC-DC, DC-AC).

It allows you to test efficiency on multiple outputs at once, for faster testing and validation. You can configure each output independently.

5 PWR EN US 61W 61271 13
Efficiency measurement configuration lets you test new generation multi-output power conversion devices (AC-DC, AC-AC, DC-DC, and DC-AC)

Turn on time and turn off time

Turn on time is defined as the time it takes for the output voltage to reach a steady state after the input voltage is turned on.

Turn off time is defined as the time it takes for the output to reach its zero state after the input voltage is switched off.

It is very important for SMPS to operate at specified turn on and turn off time. If the delay between mains power and SMPS startup is not as per design (typically 1 ms) it can disrupt the operation of some sensitive loads. Most embedded systems use more than one power supply and many use multiple outputs.

4-PWR-BAS, 4-PWR, 5-PWR, and 6-PWR automates this measurement for up to 5 outputs (4 Series MSO) or up to seven outputs (5 Series MSO or 6 Series B MSOs) or up to 3 outputs (6 Series MSO) simultaneously.

Frequency response analysis (available only in 4/5/6-PWR)

The Control Loop Response analysis (Bode plots), Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) and Impedance measurement provide key measurements to ensure stable, low-noise power supply designs. While it is possible to perform this analysis with a vector network analyzer or dedicated frequency response analyzer, these instruments can require significant setup time and long learning curves. Advanced Power Measurement and Analysis enables frequency response analysis right on the 4/5/6 Series B MSOs, taking advantage of the optional, built-in or external arbitrary/function generator.

These measurements leverage the built-in Spectrum View tool on the 4/5/6 Series B MSOs to get a finer frequency resolution across the various user-configurable frequency bands, and improve the accuracy of test results by analyzing the measurements in the frequency domain.

Control Loop Response (Bode plots)

Bode plots and gain/phase margin measurements enable designers to determine the stability of a power supply control loop. Unstable control loops lead to oscillations and inefficient performance. Filter designers also use amplitude and phase plots to test filter designs.

Automated Control Loop Response measurements use the built-in AFG to provide a single source to sweep through a specified frequency range, plotting amplitude and phase at each point. Signals are introduced into the control loop using an injection transformer, such as the J21xxA models from Picotest. The resulting gain and phase plots (Bode plots) are used to automatically calculate gain and phase margins. Cursors allow you to view gain and phase values at any frequency on the curves.

Control loop response measurement configuration allows user to set START and STOP frequencies, select constant/amplitude profile, impedance, phase wrap, and points per decade for better plot rendering.

Phase Wrap configuration allows you to unwrap the phase trace where it jumps more than the number of degrees set in the adjacent field. The default phase is set to 180°.

Control Loop Response measurement allows you to set START and STOP frequencies of default internal AFG or external AFG31000 Series. It allows you to select constant/amplitude profile, impedance, phase wrap, and points per decade for better plot rendering.

Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)

The PSRR measurements enable designers of DC-DC converters and regulators to quantify the ability of devices to attenuate AC over a specified frequency range. The test uses the optional, built-in function generator of the 4/5/6 Series B MSO or an external Tektronix AFG31000 function generator, along with an injection transformer (such as the Picotest J2120A Line Injector), to modulate the input to the regulator. The system automatically measures the AC voltage at both the modulated input and output. It calculates the rejection ratio as 20Log (Vin/Vout) at each frequency within the swept band, and plots the result.

Impedance

The 2-port impedance measurement enables designers to verify the impedance of their Power Distribution Network (PDN) over a specified frequency range. The test uses the optional built-in function generator of 4/5/6 Series B MSO or an external Tektronix AFG31000 Series function generator, along with an active splitter J2161A, and power supply J2170B, an injection transformer (such as the Picotest J2102B or J2113A line injector) to measure the impedance of the PDN network. The system automatically calculates the impedance at each frequency of the swept band, and plots the results. BNC or a direct SMA connection are recommended.

Smart probes deliver accurate results

Reducing noise and eliminating probing errors are among the best ways to improve the accuracy of power system measurements. The 4/5/6 Series B MSO and Advanced Power Measurement and Analysis software support a wide range of probes to help address different measurement needs, and include several features designed to help minimize probing problems.

The system uses voltage and current probes with the TekVPI interface which supports communication between probes and the scope. This allows the probe to communicate its scale setting automatically to the oscilloscope. On appropriate probes, it enables control of ranges from the front panel of the scope, and it allows probes to communicate error conditions such as a partially open jaw or a need for degaussing on current probes.

For timing-critical measurements such as switching loss, the analysis software can query voltage or current probes and use nominal delay values to remove timing skew and synchronize voltage and current waveforms for accurate and repeatable results.

The system is compatible with IsoVu Isolated Measurement Systems. These differential probing systems provide complete optical isolation, bandwidth up to 1 GHz, and extremely high common mode rejection, making them ideal for VGS, VDS or VSHUNT measurements in power systems. For optimizing designs that use wide bandgap switching devices such as GaN or SiC transistors, IsoVu probes are unbeatable.

Automated report generation

Data collection, archiving, and documentation can be tedious, but they are critical in the design and development process. 4-PWR-BAS, 4-PWR, 5-PWR, and 6-PWR analysis software includes an automated report generator to facilitate communication and record-keeping. Press a few buttons and generate a report showing all active measurements. Add plots or append additional tests to customize your reports. Reports are available as editable .mht files, or as .pdf files. A sample report is shown below.

Probes for Impedance measurement

BNC or Direct SMA cable with DC Block are the recommended probes for Impedance measurement.

The TPR1000 and TPR4000 probes provide a low-noise measurement solution (oscilloscope and probe), which is critical to not confuse the noise of the oscilloscope and probe with the noise and ripple of the measured DC supply. The higher input impedance in the probes minimizes the oscilloscope loading effect on the DC rails (50 kΩ at DC). These probes are used for Impedance testing as an alternative.
