Read more Test Ideas and Design Ideas here. As ICs increase in complexity and decrease in size, their pin counts drop or, at best, remain constant. The result: a need for pin-saving measures like ...

Electronic engineers working in the automotive area are sooner or later faced with a 'Cranking Test Pulse'. These test pulses describe the drop of the battery voltage during cranking of the engine and ...

Tektronix has announced a new release of its Double Pulse Test solution (WBG-DPT solution). With new wide bandgap switching devices enabling significant advances in electric vehicles, solar energy and ...

Part 1 of this series discussed what characteristics make up a good load slammer. This article discusses how to use load slammers effectively to design, evaluate, debug, and validate your on-board ...

Using pulse outputs from a PLC is a cost-effective way to get simple motion. Most, if not all, PLC manufacturers provide a way to control servos and steppers using a pulse train signal. So when a ...

Touting an unprecedented combination of price and performance, the 12000 series pulse and pattern generators includes the 165-MHz/20-Vp-p Model 12000, the 800-MHz/2.5-Vp-p Model 12010, and the 1.6-GHz ...

For a long time, I have thought that pulse generator outputs should not have adjustable amplitude and offset. Instead, they should have an adjustable top value and a separately adjustable bottom value ...
