A multi-channel power probe provides up to four voltage and current channels with 18-bit resolution for measurements of current and voltage with a high dynamic range.
The basic necessities on every EE and circuit designer’s workbench have long been regarded as including power supply. Multiple outputs being included is a typical option. Additionally, multichannel devices with excellent output precision are available.
This is considerably easier to accomplish with a multichannel supply than with a collection of separate supplies. Circuits on digital board designs frequently run at various voltages.
To prevent overstressing and harming the low voltage circuits, it’s crucial to energise the circuits in the proper order while testing these circuits with external power supplies. Make sure the multichannel supply you choose for this type of application permits independent control of each channel so that the channels can be turned on in the order you want them to.
The Global multi channel power probes market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Oscilloscope multi-channel power probes.For high dynamic range current and voltage measurements, the R&S RT-ZVC multi-channel power probe provides up to four voltage and four current channels with 18-bit resolution.
Eight high dynamic range voltage and eight high dynamic range current signals can be analysed simultaneously with oscilloscope signals when up to two R&S RT-ZVC probes are supported on an R&S RTO oscilloscope. Power consumption analysis with high sensitivity.
Both active and sleep current can be measured with the R&S RT-ZVC probe, which has an incredibly high dynamic range. The overall energy consumption of a device’s tested activity phases can be calculated automatically by automated measurements.
Flexible connectivity options for all applications, The multichannel power probe is supplied with a set of premium pin connector cables and solder in leads to attach the probe in common embedded electronics measurement settings.
In conjunction with an R&S CMW radio communication tester, the new R&S RT-ZVC multichannel power probe keeps track of how much power is used by chipsets, radio modules, and portable electronics. With a measuring precision of 18 bits, it does this and enables readings down to the nanoampere level.
Long battery life is a crucial requirement for mobile devices, embedded systems, and chips used in machine-to-machine and Internet of Things applications. In order to assess battery life in all operational modes, Rohde & Schwarz now offers an all-inclusive solution. It consists of the new R&S RT-ZVC power probe, the R&S CMWrun sequencer software, and an R&S CMW radio communication tester.
The DUT is placed in various operational modes by the radio communication tester, which also controls communications with the DUT. On the DUT, the power probe measures voltage and current at predetermined test points. The sequencer software manages the entire procedure and provides the user with thorough measurement information.
The user may closely tie the DUT’s power usage to the actions taking place at the mobile interface. This is feasible across the whole measurement range, from low currents in standby or sleep mode to enormous currents when the DUT transmits at maximum power, thanks to the great dynamic range of the R&S RT-ZVC probe.
Specifically for the R&S CMW family of radio communication tests, the power probe was created. Long-term monitoring of automated signalling test scenarios is achievable when used in conjunction with the R&S CMWrun automation software, as required for performance tests, regression tests, and acceptance tests.
Even the test scenarios for the new 3GPP features, such as enhanced discontinuous reception (DRX) and power save mode (PSM), for decreasing power consumption in machine-to-machine applications, may now be monitored and correlated with ease. The solution offers connections in test, voice, and data transfer modes for all widely used mobile communications technologies.
The probe’s multichannel architecture allows for the simultaneous acquisition and correlation of power at up to four separate test locations. In a realistic signalling scenario managed by the R&S CMW500, users can therefore contrast the power consumption of various subcomponents, such as an application processor, the RF transmit unit, and other components, against the total power consumption.
