Detailed real-world advice and demonstrations of multiple techniques on a sample microcontroller board can help you debug your power integrity problems fast.
Tools used to visualize RF signals have evolved over time from the spectrum analyzer to today’s RF recorders. However, each era's tools have had limitations. This article shows...
Ideally switch-mode power supplies would behave like mathematical models. But since they don’t you need to perform thorough characterization and troubleshooting. Fortunately, ...
As systems become faster and more complex, engineers must take the time to thoroughly test power rails to ensure that each part of the system is getting the correct power to meet...
Oscilloscope signal integrity impacts signal shape and measurement values. This article is intended to help you assess the signal integrity of your oscilloscope and make trustworthy...
Sometimes a simulation might reveal a mystery peak in a waveform, but don’t necessarily let that dissuade you if the circuit is working and EMI or any other potential dangers ...
Despite many similarities, it’s important to understand that oscilloscopes and digitizers are quite different, with each optimized for different target applications. Which will...
Getting the job done right means making design tradeoffs and spending your time wisely—sometimes you can save time by taking the easy road, sometimes not.
These tips help further refine the understanding and ultimate selection of your next probe, in order to fully exploit your equipment and gain confidence in probe measurements....
The path to digitalization for both real-time and sampling scopes is essentially the same. The input signal passes through front-end signal conditioning circuitry on the oscilloscope...
