White Paper Overview 

Telecommunications and server applications need different types of power architecture to meet current challenges, including a wider range of lower voltage and higher current levels. Distributed power architecture was a common way to deal with these levels, but multiple isolation barriers meant large, expensive bills for components.

Intermediate bus architecture (IBA) has steadily risen in popularity while reducing system sizes and costs, and has increased efficiency and removed the need for multiple isolation barriers. However, testing isolated bus converters (IBC) within this architecture is a complex measurement challenge, since it requires verification of switching patterns in dynamic processes. Validating complex circuits such as full-bridge converters requires advanced measurement tools, with a sufficient number of analog channels, memory and functions.

Register and learn how oscilloscopes can help you within those measurement challenges.
