Three top power-integrity engineers explain why you must consider the complete power system. Looking at just the power supply is not nearly enough. “There’s a hard divide between power integrity and power electronics,” said Picotest’s Steve Sandler. What is he talking about, you might ask? Sandler, along with Keysight’s Heidi Barnes and Signal Edge Solutions’ […]

Our second 5G Handbook is now available
Featuring 15 articles, the 2022 5G Handbook looks at private networks, timing, connectivity, latency, mmWaves, test, and other topics.
Analyzer checks out WBG power devices
The new PD1550A Advanced Dynamic Power Device Analyzer is a next-generation Double-Pulse Tester (DPT) with enhanced capabilities that enable the testing of entire power modules faster and easier than ever before. Power modules are used in various applications such as electric vehicles (EV), solar power inverters, trains, home appliances and aircraft due to ease of […]
How to keep transients from disrupting low-power circuits
It can be challenging to give a highly dynamic load a stable voltage when the power supply sits several feet away from the device under test. Bill Griffith • Keysight Technologies Today’s integrated circuits put a highly dynamic load on their power supply. This behavior poses a challenge during testing when IC power comes from […]
Simulate, test, and verify to solve 5G RF design problems
Performing these three steps can improve mmWave and beamforming performance.
GaN test board characterizes wide-bandgap semiconductors to reduce prototype cycles
A customized gallium nitride (GaN) test board for a dynamic power device analyzer/double-pulse tester (PD1500A) enables Tier 1 and OEM power converter designers to reduce prototype cycles and speed introduction of new products. To facilitate advances in power converter design, new wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductor technologies are being commercialized, providing improvements in speed, voltage and thermal […]
Power analysis software analyzes IoT power consumption down to subsystem level
Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced X8712A software, the KS833A2A Event-based Power Analysis software, which enables these engineers to analyze an IoT device’s power consumption and delivers an accurate view of how the IoT device behaves to the subsystem level, as well as its charge consumption profile. It offers an easy-to-use visualization tool, via the company’s PathWave software, […]
Software runs pre-compliance tests on SMPS virtual prototypes
A PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS)-compatible workspace enables designers to perform pre-compliance testing on virtual prototypes of switched-mode power supply (SMPS) designs. This new capability saves time and cost by catching errors early in the design before they become a big problem. Keysight teamed with ROHM to create the digital “twin” of ROHM’s reference design […]
Design package enables pre-compliance testing on SMPS virtual prototypes
Keysight Technologies announced a new add-on to PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) that enables designers to perform pre-compliance testing on virtual prototypes of switched-mode power supply (SMPS) designs. This new capability saves the time and cost of iterative build and test of physical prototypes. Demand for SMPS is driven by the need for greater efficiency, increased power […]
