PowerScope High Speed Digitizer
The Model 5710 embeds a mixed-signal Tektronix MDO-Series
oscilloscope as the system digitizer with three channels each of which
can sample up to a 2.5 GSPS rate. The digitizing function is further
extended by paring two of the channels with a 16-channel multiplexer
thus allowing automated selection and measurement of different
measurement points. When more than 17 inputs are required, multiple
15-input extension chassis may be added to the system further increasing
the multiplexing capability.
With a full 100 MHz of bandwidth, the primary multiplexing channel as
well as the third fixed input channel precisely captures and digitizes
fast moving signals. The second multiplexing channel supports 10 MHz
bandwidth making it ideal for measuring DC and other slower moving
signals. In mixed signal applications, a 16-input digital input captures
digital signals along with analog measurements. All of the above
measurements are synchronously captured, which provides complex
analog-analog or analog-digital timing analysis. Finally, a 10
Mega-sample memory depth easily captures non-repetitive transients as
well as digital states even when they occur with a relatively long
separation from the trigger event.
Design Verification Test Routines
To complement the powerful digital measurement system, a special
suite of test routines are provided to determine power supply
performance characteristics far beyond that available on a basic
production tester. For instance, more than 20 different measurements can
be extracted from each waveform capture and channel-to-channel
measurements are all straight forward to execute. One example of this
capability is sweep tests where one parameter, such as efficiency, is
plotted across the full range of another parameter like output voltage
or power. This test can now be programmed and executed in minutes rather
than the hours and days required by previous generation test systems.
Applications
The Engineering Characterization Test System, model 5710, is designed
to yield comprehensive test data on a wide range of AC-DC and DC-DC
power supplies with a minimum of programming effort. Such
characterization testing is typically done in an engineering
design-verification laboratory where the user’s own designs or vendor
prototypes are evaluated. This type of extensive testing is also often
required for high-reliability power supplies used in medical,
telecommunication, space and avionic applications.
