Rohde & Schwarz presents its options for subsequent technology extensive bandgap gadget take a look at and debug at PCIM Europe

Rohde & Schwarz will showcase its newest options for energy electronics testing at PCIM Europe in Nuremberg from June 11 to 13. This 12 months, the highlight shall be on options that deal with the challenges of testing and debugging the subsequent technology of extensive bandgap semiconductors in energy digital converters. The corporate’s specialists will share their first-hand information of functions resembling inverter drive design, double pulse testing and EMI debugging, using cutting-edge take a look at devices from Rohde & Schwarz.

On the Rohde & Schwarz sales space 619 in corridor 7 of PCIM Europe in Nuremberg, Germany, guests will expertise cutting-edge take a look at options for energy electronics below the motto “Shifting to next-generation extensive bandgap gadget testing & debugging.”

Amongst these are the subsequent technology MXO 5 and MXO 5C collection oscilloscopes. The primary eight-channel oscilloscopes from Rohde & Schwarz are primarily based on the corporate’s personal highly effective MXO-EP processing ASIC expertise, a technological breakthrough that makes it doable to realize the world’s first actual time acquisition charge of 4.5 million waveforms per second, as seen within the MXO 4 collection. The MXO 5C is the compact model of the MXO 5, however with out an built-in show, making it supreme for rack-mount functions. Each help simultaneous real-time acquisition on 4 channels, processing a complete of 18 million waveforms per second. The devices’ pristine front-end efficiency and digital set off method leverage the 18-bit HD structure derived from the 12-bit ADC, offering excellent precision in all measurements. At PCIM Europe, guests can find out how these subsequent technology devices can assist resolve complicated design challenges. They usually may even get a primary glimpse on a floor breaking answer for measuring with excessive widespread mode voltages at excessive frequencies.

Energy conversion

When optimizing drivetrain and inverter efficiency, characterizing the gate driver alerts, particularly in multiphase, will be very difficult. Guests will have the ability to see how the MXO 5 oscilloscope can assist customers make correct measurements for inverter design. With as much as eight channels, the instrument gives a direct view of all related sign particulars. Because of SmartGrid, customers can simply configure the intuitive show to point out all of the wanted waveforms. As well as, built-in observe features assist visualize pulse width modulation (PWM) with various responsibility cycle and width, permitting customers to precisely analyze cycle-to-cycle behaviour. Together with superior excessive voltage differential probes from Rohde & Schwarz, customers may analyze the high- and low-side gate.

Double pulse testing

JEDEC has outlined the mandatory parameters for dynamic and static characterization of extensive bandgap parts, however performing correct and dependable measurements will be difficult resulting from setup variables. Slight deviations within the take a look at setup and fixtures can introduce parasitic inductances that in the end result in errors. Rohde & Schwarz is collaborating with trade specialists at PE-Methods GmbH to implement a steady and correct method to double pulse testing utilizing high-quality energy provides and subsequent technology oscilloscopes from Rohde & Schwarz. At PCIM Europe, guests can expertise first-hand how precision instrumentation and cautious methodology work in synergy to arrange correct, dependable and quick double pulse testing.

EMI debugging

When designing filter circuits for energy converters, it’s doable to find out the precise noise within the system with an acceptable oscilloscope as a substitute of experimenting with totally different filter parts by trial and error. The R&S RTO6 is supplied with superior FFT features that permit customers to separate common-mode and differential-mode noise in order that the proper filter will be carried out to wash up the system noise. Rohde & Schwarz will exhibit the evaluation of performed emissions from a 48 V to 12 V DC-DC converter for automotive functions to point out the way to achieve perception into filter design points.

Guests can discover Rohde & Schwarz in corridor 7, sales space 619, on the PCIM Europe Worldwide Exhibition and Convention from June 11 to 13, 2024, in Nuremberg, Germany.
