MACOM and NI at the Microwave Show: From 250W GaN to 140 GHz SDR — What a "Complete System" Actually Looks Like
Two booths, 40 meters apart. MACOM with 250W GaN and 60 dBm limiters. NI with a live 140 GHz SDR link across 40 cm of free space. Neither was showing...

No Bulk Capacitor, No Problem: Inside TI's Single-Stage Micro Inverter Demo at PCIM
A single-stage AC/DC micro inverter eliminates the intermediate 400V bus capacitors that limit the service life of conventional two-stage designs. The TI TIDM-01035ME2 at PCIM showed what that looks like...

Two Oscilloscopes, One Wolfspeed Board: How Keysight Tackles the High-Side Measurement Problem at PCIM
One Wolfspeed SiC evaluation board. Two Keysight oscilloscopes — 1 GHz 14-bit on the left, 6 GHz 16-bit on the right. Same DUT, different measurement questions, different instrument tiers. The...

The World's Only Fibre Optic Isolated Oscilloscope: Why Cleverscope CS548 Exists and What It Solves
How do you measure the high-side gate voltage in a GaN inverter when the switching node swings at 100 V/ns? The Cleverscope CS548 uses fibre optic isolation — 2kV between...

Why Measuring GaN Switching Is Harder Than Designing It
At high dv/dt and di/dt, measuring GaN switching behavior becomes more challenging than designing it. This article breaks down a complete probe-based measurement system observed at Embedded World 2026.
