Double Pulse Tester for Wide-Bandgap Power Modules

Keysight’s latest Double Pulse Tester is designed to provide repeatable and reliable wide-bandgap measurements for power modules, as well as to provide a customizable off-the-shelf solution. Keysight’s Double Pulse Testers are designed to meet the needs of engineers involved in characterizing WBG semiconductors – from discrete devices and now, to power modules.

This new release builds on the same intuitive, automated user experience of the popular PD1500A, to quickly and safely measure and extract dynamic parameters to characterize a large sample of power devices/modules. Due to the high adoption of power modules in various electric vehicles (EV) applications, this new solution would be of particular interest to automotive OEM and Tier 1 power converter designers, among many other markets that involve power electronics.

Title: Understanding the impact on parasitic probing effects onto the PCB power-to-control crosstalk in switch-mode power supplies

Abstract: The Power-to-Control Crosstalk (PCC) in Switch-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) can be dominated by the parasitic capacitances of the PCB layout. PCC is facilitated by apparently harmless elements of the power converter design, like control chip pinout, the distribution of ground planes, and the setup of the feedback control compensation. This paper shows how to analyze the PCB PCC in power converters by means of FEM simulations, and discusses the effects of probing in measurements, which can mask the increased electromagnetic emissions caused by PCC phenomena.
