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 can be on options that tackle the challenges of testing and debugging the following era of broad bandgap semiconductors in energy digital converters. The corporate’s consultants will share their first-hand information of purposes akin to inverter drive design, double pulse testing and EMI debugging, using cutting-edge check 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 check options for energy electronics underneath the motto “Shifting to next-generation broad bandgap system testing & debugging.”
Amongst these are the following era 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 know-how, a technological breakthrough that makes it attainable to attain the world’s first actual time acquisition price 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 ultimate for rack-mount purposes. Each assist 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 era devices can assist resolve complicated design challenges. They usually may even get a primary glimpse on a floor breaking resolution for measuring with excessive frequent mode voltages at excessive frequencies.
Energy conversion
When optimizing drivetrain and inverter efficiency, characterizing the gate driver indicators, particularly in multiphase, might be very difficult. Guests will be capable to see how the MXO 5 oscilloscope can assist customers make correct measurements for inverter design. With as much as eight channels, the instrument offers a direct view of all related sign particulars. Because of SmartGrid, customers can simply configure the intuitive show to indicate all of the wanted waveforms. As well as, built-in monitor capabilities assist visualize pulse width modulation (PWM) with various obligation cycle and width, permitting customers to precisely analyze cycle-to-cycle behaviour. Together with superior excessive voltage differential probes from Rohde & Schwarz, customers can even analyze the high- and low-side gate.
Double pulse testing
JEDEC has outlined the required parameters for dynamic and static characterization of broad bandgap elements, however performing correct and dependable measurements might be difficult resulting from setup variables. Slight deviations within the check setup and fixtures can introduce parasitic inductances that finally result in errors. Rohde & Schwarz is collaborating with business consultants at PE-Programs GmbH to implement a secure and correct method to double pulse testing utilizing high-quality energy provides and subsequent era 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 attainable to find out the precise noise within the system with an appropriate oscilloscope as a substitute of experimenting with totally different filter elements by trial and error. The R&S RTO6 is supplied with superior FFT capabilities that permit customers to separate common-mode and differential-mode noise in order that the suitable filter might be applied to wash up the system noise. Rohde & Schwarz will reveal the evaluation of carried out emissions from a 48 V to 12 V DC-DC converter for automotive purposes to indicate how one can 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.
