Getting to the Source – Integrated Circuits (ICS) and Component EMC Testing

Failures in EMC testing often result in treating the symptoms of the issue rather than attacking the source. If we know the source of the issue rather than chase the symptoms, we will save time, cost, and frustrations. In this discussion, we will attack EMC testing from a component standpoint so that when issues arise, we can pinpoint the solution, saving time, cost, and frustration

Multiple Signal Testing in Accordance with IEC 61000-4-3

With the release of the 4th Edition of IEC 61000-4-3, multiple signal testing is now an accepted form of radiated immunity testing. This presentation will discuss the application of the new test method, how a Class A amplifier will behave when multiple signals are applied, and how to measure field during the test. Also, while a vector signal generator can be utilized to apply multiple signals into an RF power amplifier, a more accessible approach may be to use multiple signal generators. This presentation will also discuss how to assemble multiple signal generators into a test setup and what the signal looks like as applied at the RF power amplifier input. The requirements of IEC 61000-4-3 will also be reviewed to give a better understanding of the intent of the test method with multiple signals.

EMC 101

All electronic devices have the potential to emit and be susceptible to electromagnetic fields. With the continuous increase of electronic devices into everyday life, there is a huge potential for devices to interfere with each other which is why proper EMC testing is so crucial. During this presentation, we will discuss the purposes of EMC testing, regulatory issues, the testing performed, requirements of the testing, and the different methods, or types, of tests.  We will touch on all of the basics to help you learn more about testing and the different industries EMC touches.

EMC Troubleshooting Radiated Emissions, Radiated Immunity and ESD on the Bench Top

Many of the more challenging EMC issues tend to cycle endlessly between in-house trying of “fixes” and then failing again at the 3rd-party compliance test lab. This wastes time and money. Learn easy ways to analyze and mitigate the top three EMC issues and lower the risk of test failures during compliance testing. We’ll discuss how to evaluate radiated emissions quickly, how to simulate radiated immunity failures and trace the path of ESD current, so intelligent mitigations can be applied – all on your own workbench!

Intro to HTOL/Burn-In Testing

Wireless front-end components are potentially subjected to high-stress levels. Because of this, operational RF drive levels and currents exacerbate the potential for failure. Additionally, connection to an antenna permits to ingress of external energy. Manufacturing variance and defect can contribute to the possible life span. These aspects require specialized testing to capture both early failures and long-term wear-out. This presentation will discuss the parameters and equipment necessary to accurately specify Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) and capture Early Failure Rate (EFR).

Noise impairments on Serial Data links\
The increasing rate in modern transmission systems requires an accurate characterization of jitter, noise, crosstalk and their main subcomponents.The need to ensure links with the lowest bit error rate (BER) requires the ability to design electronic circuits with the lowest content of jitter and noise. Knowing how to wisely reduce the contributions of jitter and noise components, allows engineers to realize new projects in a safe and effective way.Special consideration will be described on how use the equalization both at the transmitter as well as at the receiver and how to neutralize the degradation of the signal caused by the channel.

Automotive Ethernet: Physical Layer, Debugging and Compliance Test

In modern automobiles more and more devices are inter-connected and therefore there is the need for a communication standard that supports this requirement.
Ethernet is designed for network communication, so it makes sense to use an adapted version, Automotive Ethernet, to establish a reliable and safe connection between the various electronic devices inside the car.
However, the new Automotive Ethernet physical layer measurements are more challenging than those in other automotive busses since there is the need to measure bi-directional links that use fast data rates based on PAM3 modulation.
In this webinar we will provide a detailed overview of the Automotive Ethernet compliance test solution and make live measurements using an oscilloscope and a Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR).

Fundamentals of Arbitrary Waveform Generators

During the presentation we will cover the differences between a function generator (FG) and an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG), and why the arbitrary waveform generator is so important in a stimulus-response measurements system. We also review fundamental characteristics of ARB such as vertical resolution, output voltage and channel count. In this webinar, we introduce the value with live examples of capturing a signal using an oscilloscope and downloading the waveform into the AWG in order to reproduce the signal. We will also use dedicated features available on the Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes to create complex waveforms.

Five Tricks to Get More out of your Oscilloscope

You’ve got a scope, now how do you get the most out of it without spending a lot of money?

In this free webinar from Teledyne LeCroy, Eric Bogatin will show you the right way you can do five common SI and PI measurements with a budget scope and some simple probes you probably already have around. We’ll look at some of the common artifacts to avoid so you can get meaningful measurements.

Topics covered include:

  • Probing a fast rise time signal to get its rise time
  • Measuring a power rail with a 10x probe
  • Measuring a low impedance power rail with a build it yourself power rail probe
  • Measuring the source of near field pick up
  • Using the FFT function to analyze the root cause of noise pick up

Hands on Lab Webinar

Do you deal with S-parameters or VNA measurements and don’t have a clue what the results mean? Want to understand how to interpret the ripples you see in your S-parameters? Need to measure S-parameters but not sure how to start? Curious to see what the TDR response of your interconnect is but limited by the VNA in your lab? This webinar series is for you.

In Part One, we will look at how to interpret the return loss and insertion loss of uniform interconnects and interconnects with discontinuities. With 4-ports, we will see how to interpret the S-parameters and TDR response to also measure near and far end cross talk and the location of enhanced coupling.

Debugging PCI Express Link Training and Protocol Problems

PCI Express has used a layered architecture since its inception, which allows a separation of the physical interconnect from the higher layer protocols.
When debugging PCI Express problems, it is important to be able to identify which layer is at fault to be able to find the root cause. PCI Express 4.0 and 5.0 support several new features in addition to the 16 and 32GT/s data rate support, including Lane Margining and Scaled Flow Control. This presents new challenges for developers during bring up and validation.
