Tektronix DPO4PWR

With a Power Analysis Application Module installed on an oscilloscope, an embedded designer who rarely deals with power measurements can quickly get the same accurate, repeatable results as a power supply expert.

Key Performance Specifications:

• Power Loss measurements at the switching device for improving switching power supply efficiency
• Automated Ripple measurement setup eliminates manual processes
• Automated THD, True Power, Apparent Power, Power Factor, and Crest Factor features eliminate tedious manual calculations

Key Features:

• Customizable safe operating area mask testing with linear and log scale for reliability testing
• Precompliance testing to the EN61000-3-2 Class A and MIL Standard 1399 Section 300A Standards reduces compliance test time and risk
• Modulation analysis quickly provides accurate active power factor characterization
• Deskew wizard ensures accurate, time-correlated results
• Correct scale factor and unit display while using third-party current probes eliminates manual calculations and human error

With the DPO4PWR Power Analysis Application Module installed on an MDO4000 Series oscilloscope, or an MDO3PWR Power Analysis Application Module installed on an MDO3000 Series oscilloscope, an embedded designer who rarely deals with power measurements can quickly get the same accurate, repeatable results as a power supply expert. A Power Analysis Application Module with an oscilloscope and differential voltage and current probes form a complete measurement system for power supply design and test.

The Power Analysis application provides a number of specific measurements to characterize power supplies: Switching Component Analysis, Input Analysis, and Output Analysis.
