OSCILLOSCOPES
OSCILLOSCOPES
Oscilloscope Selection Guides, Pages 1015
Tektronix offers oscilloscopes for many different applications and uses. To help you choose the right
scope for your needs, the most common criteria for selecting a scope are listed below, along with
helpful tips for determining your requirements.
Bandwidth
All oscilloscopes have a low-pass frequency response that

rolls off at higher frequencies. Oscilloscope bandwidth is
specified as being the frequency at which a sinusoidal input
signal is attenuated to 70.7% of the signals true amplitude
the -3 dB point. Your oscilloscope must have sufficient
bandwidth to capture all relevant frequency components of
your signal. If you regularly work with digital signals, it may
be easier to consider bandwidth by comparing signal and
oscilloscope rise time specifications. Use an oscilloscope
with a rise time specification five times faster than your
signal rise time to keep error below 2%.
Rule: Bandwidth > 5 x Highest Signal Frequency
Record Length
Record length is the number of samples the oscilloscope can

digitize and store in a single acquisition. Since an oscilloscope
can store only a limited number of samples, the waveform
duration or length of time captured will be inversely
proportional to the oscilloscopes sample rate. A longer record
length enables a longer time window to be captured with high
resolution.
Rule: Captured Time = (Record Length) / (Sample Rate)
Digital Channels and Spectrum

Analyzer Input
4
Todays oscilloscopes offer more than just analog channels for

system-level troubleshooting of complex designs.
If you need to analyze a parallel bus or multiple serial buses,
the Tektronix MSO Series of mixed signal oscilloscopes and
MDO Series of mixed domain oscilloscopes offer 16 digital
channels and up to 4 analog channels for analyzing multiple
signals at once.

FREQUENCY (GHZ)
If you are working with RF signals, the Tektronix MDO Series

of mixed domain oscilloscopes offers a built-in spectrum
analyzer for time-correlated analysis of analog, digital and
RF signals.
FIG 01 /
Typical frequency response curve for a general purpose oscilloscope
Sample Rate
The faster an oscilloscope samples, the greater the

resolution and detail of the displayed waveform, and the less
likely that critical information or events will be lost. Tektronix
recommends at least 5X oversampling to ensure signal
details are captured and to avoid aliasing.
Features and Analysis Capability
Tektronix oscilloscopes offer a range of features and analysis

capabilities. When choosing your scope, you should review
available triggers, waveform search tools, automated
measurements, and analysis packages such as serial bus
analysis, jitter and power analysis to ensure they meet your
needs.
Rule: Sample Rate > 5 x (Highest Frequency Component)

This guide will provide you with a fundamental glossary of

power measurement terms, explain the different options
available for making floating measurements, and highlight the
advantages and trade-offs of each option.
The most demanding floating measurement requirements are

found in power control circuits, such as motor controllers,

EMI Diagnostics and

Precompliance
Reduced time to solution for EMI problems
Time-saving solutions for the EMI problems
you never planned for. Todays biggest EMI
challenges are identifying the location and
source of an EMI problem and capturing a
transient EMI event. Tektronix MDO4000C
Series Mixed Domain Oscilloscopes combine
the functionality of a mixed signal
oscilloscope with a spectrum analyzer;
capture synchronized analog, digital and RF
signals, all time correlated for a complete
system view of your device.
The MDO3000 Series also feature a built-in
spectrum analyzer. Tektronix Real-Time
Spectrum Analyzers are able to view, trigger
on and analyze the effects of the briefest of
signals as they occur in frequency domain
and include limit-line scans with pass/fail
testing, EMI filter, detectors and averaging for
high-confidence precompliance testing.
The RSA300/500/600 Series with SignalVu-PC
provide you with a real time DPX spectrum
display. This real time display allows you to
see interference or other signal problems that
other analyzers would miss. Additionally,
SignalVu-PC offers user definable limit lines, a
logarithmic scale, and CISPR and MIL-STD
filters and some detectors that can be helpful
to perform a worst case, low cost EMI sweep
before final compliance is sought. This
powerful combination of signal discovery for
troubleshooting and measurements against
real EMI limit lines is helpful to better prepare
yourself for taking your design through some
basic checks for major EMI violations.

CHOOSING YOUR SIGNAL GENERATOR

In electronic test and measurement, more often than not, a signal source is required to generate signals
that are not available unless externally provided. Below is a list of common features that you may want
to consider when choosing a signal generator for your application.
1
Sample (Clock) Rate
Sample rate, usually specified in terms of megasamples or

gigasamples per second, denotes the maximum clock or
sample rate at which the instrument can operate. The sample
rate affects the frequency of the main output signal. In general,
you should choose an instrument where the sampling frequency
is twice that of the highest spectral frequency component of the
generated signal to ensure accurate signal reproduction. The
maximum sample rate also determines the smallest time
increment that can be used to create waveforms. Typically this
figure is simply the result of the calculation: T = 1/F, where T is
the timing resolution in seconds and F is the sample rate.
2
Memory Depth (Record Length)
Memory depth, or record length, plays an important role in

signal fidelity because it determines how many points of data
can be stored to define a waveform. Deeper memory enables
you to store more waveform detail and/or more cycles of the
desired waveform.
Vertical (Amplitude) Resolution
Vertical resolution pertains to the binary word size, in bits,

of the instruments DAC, with more bits equating to higher
resolution. The vertical resolution of the DAC defines the
amplitude accuracy and distortion of the reproduced
waveform. Although more is better, there is a general trade-off
for most arbitrary waveform instruments; the higher the
resolution, the lower the sample rate.
4
Features and Capabilities
Tektronix signal generators offer a range of features and

output capabilities. When choosing your signal generator,
you should also evaluate standard waveforms, modulation
capabilities, output amplitude and waveform editing software
to ensure that the instrument meets your needs.

Replicating Real World Signals with an

Arbitrary/Function Generator
Introduction
Nearly all consumer products today have circuits or
devices that require the input of specific electronic
signals in order for the product to perform correctly.
This input could be as simple as the signal from an
automotive knock sensor, or as complex as a serial
data communication bus signal such as Controller
Area Network (CAN) or Inter IC Bus (I2C) signal.
When designing and testing these devices, a mechanism

is required to replicate the input signals. In many cases
it may also be useful to add noise or other anomalies
to the signals to test the devices under real world and
stress conditions. A common approach is to create
these signals using software applications or just
capture a live signal using an oscilloscope. This created
or captured waveform is then loaded in an Arbitrary/Function

Application Note
Replicating Real World Signals with an

Arbitrary/Function Generator
Introduction
Nearly all consumer products today have circuits or
devices that require the input of specific electronic
signals in order for the product to perform correctly.
This input could be as simple as the signal from an
automotive knock sensor, or as complex as a serial
data communication bus signal such as Controller
Area Network (CAN) or Inter IC Bus (I2C) signal.
When designing and testing these devices, a mechanism

is required to replicate the input signals. In many cases
it may also be useful to add noise or other anomalies
to the signals to test the devices under real world and
stress conditions. A common approach is to create
these signals using software applications or just
capture a live signal using an oscilloscope. This created
or captured waveform is then loaded in an Arbitrary/Function

CHOOSING YOUR LOGIC ANALYZER

To help you choose the right logic analyzer for your needs, the most common selection criteria are listed
below, along with helpful tips for determining your requirements.
1
Number of Channels
Logic analyzers are available in both modular and preconfigured forms. A modular logic analyzer allows you to add
additional acquisition cards to increase the number of
available channels. A pre-configured logic analyzer has a fixed
number of channels and cant be changed after purchase.
2
Timing Resolution
Timing resolution is simply the inverse of the sample rate of

the logic analyzer. Higher timing resolution allows you to more
precisely place the edges of signals relative to one another,
giving more accurate timing measurements.
52 | TEK.COM
State Clock Rate
In addition to timing mode, logic analyzers have a second

acquisition mode called state mode. In this mode, a clock
from your circuit tells the logic analyzer when to sample the
date. The state clock specification indicates the maximum
frequency of clock that the logic analyzer can use.
4
Record Length
Record length, or memory depth, indicates the number of

samples that can be stored. Longer record lengths can be
helpful in troubleshooting problems whose cause and
symptom are widely separated in time.

CHOOSING YOUR PCI EXPRESS LOGIC PROTOCOL ANALYZER

To help you choose the right PCI Express Logic Protocol Analyzer for your needs, the most common
selection criteria are listed below, along with helpful tips for determining your requirements.
1
Probing
How you will access your PCIe signals is a critical

consideration. There are three possible methods of probing
your system: slot interposer, solder down probes, and midbus
probes. A slot interposer is the most convenient method if you
have access to a PCIe slot. A solder-down probe can be used
if you are designing an embedded system where a slot is not
available. Finally, a midbus probe can be an easy solution if
you can design a probe footprint into your system.
Number of Lanes
PCI Express Logic Protocol Analyzers are available in different

widths to provide cost-effective solutions no matter if you
have x1 or a x16 system.
3
Triggering
The ability to trigger on packet details along with other

resources like counters and timers can significantly speed
your debug and validation effort. Consider also the ability to
cross trigger with other events in your system such as a
memory bus.

CHOOSING YOUR REAL-TIME SPECTRUM ANALYZER

Key items for consideration in selecting your spectrum analyzer.
1
Frequency Range
Of course, the analyzer chosen must cover all of the

frequencies you need to measure. Consider harmonics and
spurious signals when making your selection. For example,
your fundamental signal may be at 2.4 GHz, but perhaps you
will want to see up to 10 harmonics of the signal to meet all
the needs of your design.
2
Acquisition/Real-Time Bandwidth
In a real-time spectrum analyzer, this sets the maximum

bandwidth for guaranteed capture and triggering on brief
signals, and is also the limiting factor in modulation
measurements. For example, 802.11n signals require a minimum
acquisition bandwidth of 40 MHz so that all signal elements can
be acquired and demodulated. However, the entire operating
frequency of your signal of interest may need to be considered.
For example, a Bluetooth signal is relatively narrow band, and
may be demodulated with the standard acquisition bandwidth
of an RTSA, but you may want to observe the full hopping
pattern of the Bluetooth transmitter as it operates, requiring at
least 85 MHz bandwidth for your application.
Dynamic Range
This can be a complex subject. Your definition of dynamic

range may be highly specific. Consideration of Adjacent
Channel Power Ratio dynamic range, spurious-free dynamic
range in a particular frequency range, or harmonic distortion
specifications may or may not be important to your
application. For example, the RSA6100B Series real-time
analyzer has our best ACLR specifications, but the lowfrequency (1 Hz 32 MHz) spurious-free dynamic range of the
RSA5100B is the best available.

Features and Capabilities
Tektronix RTSAs offer a range of features and capabilities, with

a wealth of performance and analysis options. Optional
features include preamplifiers, acquisition bandwidth options,
and analysis options that include WLAN, Bluetooth, P25 and
general purpose modulation analysis, pulse measurements

engineer can be the best way to learn which optional feature
may be useful in your RTSA.

CHOOSING YOUR RF POWER METER

Power measurements are fundamental to the development cycle of any RF or microwave product, from
radios to radars. To help you choose the right Power Sensor/Meter combination, the most common
selection criteria are listed below, along with helpful tips for determining your requirements.
1
Measurement Integrity
Measurement integrity is a combination of the cumulative

measurement uncertainty and instrument stability. While the
measurement uncertainty is usually specified, the instrument
stability includes several factors. By providing calibration over
the entire temperature operating ranges and not requiring
zeroing prior to measurement, the improved stability of the
power sensor/meter reduces possible human errors and
assures the integrity of measured results.
2
Performance and Functionality
Basic power measurements of continuous wave (CW) signals

are fundamental to power sensor/meters. However, todays
modern signals include modulation, pulses, or other timevarying attributes. Being able to correct for duty cycle,
measure peak power, signal statistics, and trigger inputs and
outputs increases the utility of the power sensor/meter
combination.
68 | TEK.COM
Speed and Connectivity
Power measurements tend to dominate the test process of

wireless device test. The speed of measurement should remain
constant over the entire dynamic range of the sensor. USB
connectivity and power enable high speed measurement
throughput and help reduce system rack space.
4
Analysis
When integrating power measurements into a full system

measurement process, you should review the available
analysis software and hardware capabilities to determine if
equipment redundancies can be eliminated. Advanced
measurement analysis, like trend graphing, statistical
measurements, measurement logging, and pulse profiling can
replace more complex and expensive equipment needs and
simplify device test.

can be accurately measured by the optical modulation
analyzer (OMA). A receiver bandwidth of 25GHz can
accurately measure signals up to 40GBaud. Using the 45GHz
OMA, signals as high as 80GBaud can be measured.
2
Frequency Band
100G communications typically occur in the C-band, however

L-band is also supported. The Tektronix coherent optical
products support testing in C-band, L-band, or both.

CHOOSING YOUR SOURCE MEASURE UNIT (SMU) INSTRUMENT

A SMU instrument integrates precision power supply and digital multimeter (DMM) capabilities in one instrument
while covering a wide dynamic range. SMUs source and measure simultaneously, making them ideal for
characterizing and testing semiconductors and other non-linear devices and materials.
System-Level Speed
or Throughput
Measurement Settling Time,

Offset Error, and Noise
The true measure of speed is how quickly a final measurement

or set of measurements (such as a suite of current vs. voltage
parameters) is returned to the PC controller. This involves not
only the number of readings/second, but also range and
function change times.
When choosing between instruments, compare the time it

takes a SMU to settle the specified offset error. This can be
seen in the bumpiness of the resulting data curve, which
indicates measurement noise; the smoother the data curve the
less measurement noise. SMUs having a fast, flat, and
noise-free settling time achieve more consistent results during
a series of measurements taken over time.
Sourcing Resolution and

Output Stability
2
An SMUs usable maximum resolution depends on its overall

accuracy and the resolution of its analog-to-digital converter
(ADC). In general, the higher the resolution is, the higher the
bit count on the ADC and the higher the accuracy will be.

Cabling
Triaxial cables offer significant advantages over coaxial cables

when making low current measurements. Triaxial cables have
an extra shield that ensures lower leakage, better response,
and greater noise immunity.

POWER ANALYZER SELECTION
POWER ANALYZERS
Fully characterize your power-electronics design from input to output
with Tektronix power analyzers. Designed for precision measurement
of power-electronics circuits and devices, these analyzers give you
what you need to measure conversion efficiency and perform
compliance testing on single-phase or 3-phase devices.

CHOOSING YOUR POWER ANALYZER

Power analyzers are used for testing a wide range of power-electronics devices, from cell-phone
chargers to 1000kW grid-connected inverters. To help you choose the best analyzer for your
application, consider the criteria below.
1
Number of Inputs
Power analyzers are available in both fixed configurations

(typically single-channel) and modular configurations. If your
application is limited to single-phase devices, a single-channel
analyzer may meet your needs. But if you need to measure
conversion efficiency on these devices, a two-channel
analyzer is required.
Testing of 3-phase devices of course requires a multi-phase
analyzer. In many cases, two channels will be all you need for
a two-wattmeter measurement on 3-wire inputs or outputs. A
four-channel analyzer can measure both input and output
simultaneously, to determine conversion efficiency.
2
Measurement Bandwidth
How much bandwidth is enough? The measurement

bandwidth you need is usually determined by the switching
speed of the device-under-test, or the highest-order harmonic
that you are testing requires. Switching speeds of tens or
hundreds of kHz are common in todays designs. But new
semiconductor technologies promise to increase speeds up to
2x or more in the near future. Choose an analyzer that is
capable of measuring your highest frequencies of interest,
with some headroom for future-proofing.
Compliance Testing for

Regulatory Standards
3
If your application requires you to know that your device is

compliant with regulatory standards such as IEC61000 for
harmonics, or ENERGY STAR for energy efficiency, you
need an analyzer capable of meeting the test requirements

specified by the standard. Even better, look for an analyzer
supported by software applications that can automate
instrument setup and reporting of test results in the exact
format required for your application.
Current Shunts: Internal

or External?
4
Will you be measuring milliamperes or hundreds of amperes?

Power analyzers vary in the features they offer for direct
current inputs or connection to external current transducers.
Ideally, the analyzer should have internal current shunts that
allow you to connect your device directly, for best accuracy. If
you will be testing a range of devices at different power levels,
you may value both high- and low-range shunts. Finally, if your
application requires external current transducers (usually
required for current >30 Amps), make sure there are
transducers available that are well-matched to the analyzer
and offer the accuracy you need.
5
Remote Communication
Will you have a need to control the analyzer remotely or

transfer measurement data to your PC? If so, you will want to
look for an instrument that features the communication ports
you need. Depending on the analyzer model, some ports may
be standard features or extra-cost options; be careful to
choose the right instrument configuration that meets your
requirements.

SWITCH SYSTEMS SELECTION
SWITCH SYSTEMS
Keithley provides a wide array of high integrity switch systems to
address the need for switching DC, RF, microwave, and digital I/O
signals, whether in matrix, multiplexer, or a combination of
configurations. Elsewhere in this catalog, you will also find data
acquisition systems and digital multimeters with switching options.

CHOOSING YOUR SWITCHES

To help you choose the appropriate switch mainframe for your application, the most common selection
criteria are listed below.
1
Multiplex Switching
Multiplex switching can be used to connect one instrument to

multiple devices (1:N) or multiple instruments to a single
device (N:1). Multiplex switching permits multiple
simultaneous connections, and sequential or non-sequential
switch closures.
2
Matrix Switching
The matrix switch configuration is the most versatile because

it can connect multiple inputs to multiple outputs. A matrix is
useful when connections must be made between several
signal sources and a multi-pin device, such as an integrated
circuit or resistor network.
Isolated Switch Configurations
The isolated, or independent, switch configuration consists of

individual relays, often with multiple poles, with no
connections between relays. Isolated relays are not connected
to any other circuit, so the addition of external wiring makes
them suitable for building very flexible and unique
combinations of input/output configurations. Isolated relays
are commonly used in power and control applications to open
and close different parts of a circuit that are at substantially
different voltage levels.

CHOOSING YOUR DIGITAL MULTIMETER

To help you choose the right digital multimeter for your needs, the most common selection criteria are
listed below, along with helpful tips for determining your requirements.
1
Resolution
Resolution refers to how fine a measurement a meter can

make. By knowing the resolution of a meter, you can
determine if it is possible to see a small change in your signal.
The terms digits and counts are used to describe a meters
resolution. A 6.5-digit multimeter can display 6 full digits
ranging from 0 to 9, and one half digit, which displays only a
1 or is left blank. A 6.5-digit meter will display up to 1,999,999
counts of resolution.
2
Accuracy
Accuracy is the largest allowable error that will occur under

specific operating conditions. In other words, it is an indication
of how close the DMMs displayed measurement is to the
actual value of the signal being measured. Accuracy is usually
expressed as a percent of reading. An accuracy of one
percent of reading means that for a displayed reading of 100
volts, the actual value of the voltage could be anywhere
between 99 volts and 101 volts.
Measurements
Digital multimeters are capable of making a variety of different

measurements. A basic DMM typically can measure voltage,
current and resistance. Other measurements commonly
supported are continuity and diode measurements. Continuity
is a quick go/no-go resistance test that distinguishes between
an open and a closed circuit. A diode test mode measures the
actual voltage drop across a junction. Other possible
measurement modes are frequency, period, temperature and
capacitance.
4
Extra Channel Capacity
Many of Keithleys DMMs include the capability to add a

scanner accessory, enabling measurements on multiple test
points or devices.

Using the DMM Series to make simple and

accurate resistance measurements
Application Note
Using two wires to measure resistance is convenient, but

causes measurement error. You can virtually eliminate this
error by using four leads and a multimeter with separate
source and measure terminals. Unfortunately, adding
additional leads and connections makes the measurement
more complicated. You have additional leads to connect and

you may have to swap clips and probes as you change from
voltage to resistance. Now a new concept enables you to take
four-wire resistance measurements with just two leads.

Multimeters
Application Note
What is the output voltage of the power supply? This is

one of the most common measurements made with digital
multimeters. Similar questions arise about the frequency of
oscillators, the value of resistors, operating temperature, or the
input to a voltage controlled oscillator. Its easy to use a digital
multimeter to take any of these readings.
But taking a single reading gives you only part of the story.
An equally important question is: How stable is the output of
the power supply? Understanding this, and other questions,
requires looking at measurement statistics. What is the average
value of the output? What is the standard deviation? The
Tektronix DMM4050 and DMM4040 multimeters offer integrated
analysis functions to help you answer these questions.

CHOOSING YOUR DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM

Designing the switching for an automated test system demands an understanding of the signals to be switched and
the tests to be performed. The following is a cursory look at key decision points in the design of a switching system.
1
Switch Configuration
Multiplex switching can be used to connect one instrument to

multiple devices or multiple instruments to a single device.
Multiplex switching permits multiple simultaneous connections
and sequential or non-sequential switch closures. A matrix
switch configuration is the most versatile because it can
connect multiple inputs to multiple outputs. The isolated, or
independent, switch configuration consists of individual relays,
often with multiple poles, with no connections between relays.
For scanner (or multiplex) cards, the channel is used as a
switched input in measuring circuits or as a switched output in
sourcing circuits. For switch cards, each channels signal
paths are independent of other channels.
Relay Types
Three key relay types are used. Electromechanical relays offer

the widest power range and a good life and speed at a
relatively low cost. Reed relays cost more but offer less
contact wear and bounce for a better life and speed than
electromechanical. Solid-state relays cost still more, but offer
the best life and speed with no contact wear or bounce.
3
Systemization
Connection types found on switch cards include both screw

terminals and mass-terminated connectors. At the instrument
level, TSP-Link master/slave connection offers easy system
expansion between Series 3700A mainframes and to connect
to Series 2600B SourceMeter instruments.

Series 2700
The Series 2700 System Switch/Multimeter combines precision
measurement, switching, and control in a single, tightly integrated enclosure
for either rack-mount or bench-top applications used by data loggers. The
2700 Series offers two- and five-slot models, as well as an Ethernet-based
model for high speed and long distance communication.

connectors for easier, mistake-free
wiring. Removable terminals available

digital multimeter. Keithley Electrometers and Picoammeters provide low current and high
resistance measurements and Keithley Nanovoltmeters measure low voltages.

CHOOSING YOUR SPECIALIZED LOW LEVEL INSTRUMENT

To help you choose the appropriate specialized low level instrument for your application, the most
common selection criteria are listed below, including helpful tips for determining the correct specialized
low level instrument for your requirements.
1
Resolution
Resolution means how fine a meters measurement is and lets

you determine if its possible to see a small change in the
signal. Resolution is described by digits and counts. A
6.5-digit instrument can display six full digits ranging from 0 to
9, and one half digit that displays either a 1 or is left blank. A
6.5-digit instrument can display up to 1,999,999 counts of
resolution.
2
Accuracy
Accuracy is the largest allowable error that will occur under

specific operating conditions and is an indication of how close
the instruments displayed measurement is to the actual value
of the signal measured. Accuracy is typically expressed as a
percent of reading. For example, an accuracy of 1% of reading
means that, for a displayed reading of 100 volts, the actual
value of the voltage is between 99 volts and 101 volts.
Low Current/High Resistance

Measurements
3
Low current/high resistance measurements evaluate the

insulation qualities of materials or components. Typically, a
voltage up to 500 or 1000 volts is applied and the resulting
current is measured, which can be in the range of
picoamperes (10E-12A) or lower. A digital multimeter may
seem like the right instrument for these measurements. But if
the current is below 1A or the resistance is above 10M, the
correct solution is an Electrometer or Picoammeter.
Low Voltage/Low Resistance

Measurements
4
Low resistance/low voltage measurements evaluate the

conduction or contact qualities of materials or components.
Typically, a current under 100mA but as low as 1A is applied
and the resulting voltage is measured, which can be in the
range of microvolts and even nanovolts. For low voltage,
choose a Nanovoltmeter or low noise multimeter. For low
resistance, a Nanovoltmeter/current source combination or
switch/multimeter is the correct solution.

POWER SUPPLY SELECTION
CHOOSING YOUR PROGRAMMABLE POWER SUPPLY

To help you choose the appropriate power supply for your application, the most common selection
criteria are listed below.
Output Voltage, Current,

and Power
1
Ensure that the power supply has sufficient voltage output and
current output to meet your needs. Also ensure that the supply
can deliver the required power. Some power supply V-I output
characteristics offer a trade-off between maximum voltage
and maximum current (hyperbolic V-I output).
Setting Resolution and Accuracy
Voltage and current settings (sometimes called limits or

programmed values) each have resolution and accuracy
specifications associated with them. The resolution of these
settings determines the minimum increment in which the
output may be adjusted. The accuracy describes the extent to
which the value of the output matches international standards
and is typically expressed as (% of reading + offset).
108 | TEK.COM/DC-POWER-SUPPLY
Ripple and Noise
Spurious AC components on the output of a DC supply are

called ripple and noise. The term ripple refers to periodic AC
on the output. When viewed in the frequency domain, ripple
shows up as spurious responses. Unlike ripple, which is
periodic, noise is random. A power supplys ripple and noise is
specified within a bandwidth, and should be specified for both
current and voltage.
Features and Programmability
When selecting your power supply, select the supply that has
the functionality you need. Consider a multiple-channel supply
as a cost-effective solution for applications requiring multiple
power sources. For maximum accuracy, consider supplies that
have remote sensing. When developing and testing batteryoperated devices, consider a special purpose batterysimulating supply.

How to Interpret Linear Power Supply Specifications
Application Note
Introduction to Power Supply

Specifications
At first glance, a variable DC power supply appears to be a
fairly simple device. However, it is a sophisticated, accurate,
electrically-rugged workhorse. It has to reliably deliver stable,
precise, clean voltage and current, no matter its load --
resistive, inductive, capacitive, low-impedance, highimpedance, steady-state or variable. How well the power
supply fulfills this mission and where it hits its limits are defined
in its specifications. Choosing the right power supply for your
application requires a good understanding of how they are
specified.

Choosing the Right Power Supply for

How to Interpret Linear Power Supply Specifications
Application Note
Introduction to Power Supply

Specifications
At first glance, a variable DC power supply appears to be a
fairly simple device. However, it is a sophisticated, accurate,
electrically-rugged workhorse. It has to reliably deliver stable,
precise, clean voltage and current, no matter its load --
resistive, inductive, capacitive, low-impedance, highimpedance, steady-state or variable. How well the power
supply fulfills this mission and where it hits its limits are defined
in its specifications. Choosing the right power supply for your
application requires a good understanding of how they are
specified.

DC ELECTRONIC LOADS SELECTION
DC ELECTRONIC LOADS
Keithley DC electronic loads are stand-alone, high accuracy instruments for testing and for performance
characterization of power conversion devices such as power supplies, battery chargers, solar cells, DC/DC
converters, and other power components. Keithley electronic loads offer high resolution as low as 0.1mV and
0.01mA to enable detection of subtle changes in power devices. The loads also have high bandwidth dynamic
cycling and slew rates as fast as 2.5A/s to thoroughly test the transient performance of power conversion devices.

CHOOSING YOUR DC ELECTRONIC LOAD

DC electronic loads have a wide range of performance to enable testing both static and dynamic performance of
power devices. Key capabilities to consider when selecting DC electronic loads are presented below.
Output Power, Output Voltage,

and Output Current
1
Ensure that the electronic load can dissipate the output power
that your devices can generate. Also make sure that the load
is rated for the maximum voltage and maximum current that
your devices or components can supply. It is essential that all
three parameters are factored in to your selection decision on
the dissipation requirements for your DC electronic load.
2
Electronic Load Operating Modes
All electronic loads offer a constant current (CC) operating

mode. Most also offer constant voltage (CV) and constant
power (CP) operating modes. Some also provide constant
resistance (CR) loading. More advanced electronic loads offer
battery discharge loading to test battery life characteristics
and LED simulation loading to test LED driver modules. Make
sure the electronic load you select has the operating modes
that you will need.
Dynamic Load Testing
If you need to test how your device performs with load

changes, ensure that the load you select has a dynamic mode
with a transition speed that is fast enough to test the specified
transient response of your device. Dynamic modes are
typically specified as the range of times that the load will be at
each of two current levels. The inverse of twice the shortest
time interval determines maximum cycling rate. Shorter time
intervals, with fast transitions between loading, stress the
power source and provide insight into its stability.
In addition to testing response to fast load changes, it can
also be important to determine whether your device can
respond at the rate that the load is changing. Ensure
electronic load slew rates, often specified in A/s, are high
enough to test your device to its slew rate specifications.
Ensure these rates are programmable so the electronic loads
range of slew rates meets your application needs.
4
Safety Testing
Verifying that your power source does not fail under fault
conditions is of critical importance. This is particularly true for
a short circuit load condition. Electronic loads can be set for
short circuits conditions with the load operating near 0V with
milliohm load impedance. Make sure the electronic load you
select has short circuit test features.

CHOOSING YOUR COUNTER/TIMER

To help you choose the right counter/timer for your needs, the most common selection criteria are listed
below, along with helpful tips for determining your requirements.
1
Frequency Resolution
The frequency resolution is the smallest change the counter/

timer can detect in closely spaced frequencies. The resolution
is influenced by the time setting on the instrument, i.e., longer
time settings (averaged) will display more digits. In general this
feature is expressed as the number of digits per second
shown on the instruments display (e.g., 12 digits/s). More
digits indicate a higher frequency resolution.
Time Resolution
For timing measurements this feature represents the smallest

time change that the instrument can detect. Time resolution
is sometimes described as single shot resolution and is
generally measured in picoseconds, e.g., 50 ps. The lower the
number, the better the time resolution feature.
Time Base Stability
The internal time base establishes the reference against which

input signals are measured. The better the time base, the more
accurate your measurements can be. Most counters employ
a quartz crystal as the internal time base element, which
comes in 3 basic types; Room Temperature (RTXO),
Temperature Compensated (TCXO) and Oven Control (OCXO).
TCXO and OCXO devices are more stable and when used as
the internal time base, the instrument will consistently yield
accurate and reliable results.
Analysis Capability
When choosing your counter/timer, you should review

available analysis modes, such as trend plotting, measurement
statistics, histograms and modulation domain analysis to
ensure your needs are met.

Application Note
How am I supposed to observe signal integrity, jitter or even

drift issues in my frequency measurements with only a numeric
readout? A simple numeric reading gives you only part of
the story. An equally important question is: How stable is the
oscillator frequency in my circuit after several periods?
Understanding this and other questions requires looking at

measurement statistics. What is the average value of my
signal? What is the standard deviation or Allan deviation of my
measurement? Tektronix FCA3000, FCA3100 and MCA3000
Series Timer/Counter/Analyzers offer integrated analysis
functions to help you quickly answer these questions.
