Tipps and tricks how to verify control loop stability with an oscilloscope

Bode plots are a reliable method for verifying the stability of control loops. While in the past dedicated test equipment was necessary to perform such a measurement, nowadays, modern oscilloscopes integrate this as an extra function. This presentation will focus on the essential tips and tricks to performing accurate and reliable Bode plots measurements.

Dynamic limitation of switched mode power supplies

Power supplies for high-speed computing applications like large FPGAs systems or datacenter IT systems have to deal with large and fast load transients while always staying within the given tolerance limits. The response to load transients is given by large signal response characteristics due to ramping the inductor current as well as small signal responses of the control loop. This talk discusses the dynamic limitations of power supplies and how to overcome them.

EMC analysis / In-system-verification methods

EMC testing is a critical part of any product development journey. Considering EMC as early as possible in the development process can bring significant time and cost savings. This presentation will discuss methods to do this associated or integrated in the development process.

Practical aspectes of designing compact high-efficency power supplies

Designing a compact, highly efficient power supplies have numerous challenges. This presentation discusses practical aspects during designing a 400 W power supply covering basic design considerations as well as measurement aspects and EMI verification.

Basics and practical aspects of high voltage probing

Measuring on power electronics designs has its one challenge, where the probe becomes the most important element. This presentation discusses basics as well as practical aspects when measuring on high-voltage power electronics designs.

Measurement tools to verify and debug power integrity and PDM impedance

Lower voltages and tighter voltage tolerances are common challenges in modern designs. We will discuss typical root causes of Power Integrity hurdles and take a closer look at oscilloscope and network analyzer based solutions to ensure power integrity and how power delivery network impedance influences your systems performance.
