MSO 4 Series Power Rail Power integrity and power management

Today’s boards can have 20 or more power rails, many of which are less than a few volts with strict noise limits.

  • Up to 6 analog input channels
  • Compatible low-noise power-rail probes
  • Decoding options for SVID and SPMI
MSO 4 Series Power Application Power supply measurements and analysis

Even with lower standby power, faster switching and stricter noise limits, the 4 Series can speed up power supply troubleshooting, optimization and validation.

  • AC line and harmonics measurements
  • Switching loss analysis
  • DC power rails measurements
  • Bode plots and power supply rejection ratio
  • Wide range of current, power rail, differential, and optically-isolated probes

Make stable 3-phase power measurements even on pulse-width modulated waveforms. The 3-phase analysis software makes it easy.

Highlights

  • Up to 6 analog input channels
  • 3-phase wye, delta, and single-phase wiring configurations
  • Comprehensive power measurements
  • Harmonics analysis
Automotive ECU design Automotive ECU design

Automotive systems demand robust communications between ECUs, sensors and actuators.

  • Mixed signal views to look beyond processors at sensors, actuators, switches, and power
  • Combine waveform and spectrum analysis for fast noise hunting with optional Spectrum View
