This pocket guide shows how to make accurate power rail measurements and how impedance measurements can help to detect typical root causes of power integrity issues.
Clean and stable power rail voltages are the basis for proper performance of any electronic design. The continuing demand for higher performance, higher level of integration and lower power consumption drives supply voltages down, making voltage tolerances tighter and power rail qualification a challenging task. For high precision results, it is important to use the right tools. This pocket guide evaluates critical considerations and tools you should take into account in order to achieve the most accurate power integrity measurements.
