For anyone designing DC-DC converters, AC-DC power supplies, or the system around it, understanding the power supply’s operation under both the best and worst conditions is important. The load of the ...

Test probes go a long way toward ensuring accurate, repeatable test results. Here's a look at how both active and passive test probes are evolving to match today's broadening oscilloscope bandwidths.

The oscilloscope is probably the most versatile piece of test equipment you can have on your electronics bench, offering a multitude of possibilities for measuring timing, frequency and voltage as ...

Read the introduction to this series in Part 1, and the conclusion in Part 3, which covers stability. This is Part 2 of a three-part series which discusses how to properly test a DC/DC power supply to ...

Making accurate, high-speed time domain measurements does not have to be a challenge. Employing a few tips can greatly simplify the task. When choosing the oscilloscope and probe for high-speed ...

A selection of probes, from [Jim Williams’] Linear Technology app note 72. It’s not often that we are shown an entirely new class of test equipment here at Hackaday, so it was with some surprise that ...

The quality of your signal is dependent on the probe you use, so how do you choose the right test probe for the job? Good testing requires good equipment, which includes probe selection. Oscilloscopes ...

We can now tell our iCub robot to stop bugging us and go outside to play. That’s because instead of needing a long extension cord for power, the iCub robot now has a battery backpack – tested and ...

Micsig Technology is aiming at mains and high-voltage GaN power supply development with a series of optical fibre isolated oscilloscope probes, with bandwidths up to 1GHz and risetimes down to ≤350ps.
