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...

Adaptive Gate Current Shaping: How Bosch EG120 Solves the Parallel SiC-MOSFET Balancing Problem
Two SiC MOSFETs in parallel will never have exactly the same threshold voltage. That nanosecond difference creates transient current imbalance that degrades reliability over a vehicle's lifetime. The Bosch EG120...

When an Oscilloscope Becomes a Motor Drive Analyzer: The Case for Application-Specific Measurement
The MDA 8208HD doesn't call itself an oscilloscope. It's a Motor Drive Analyzer — and that distinction defines everything: 8 channels for three-phase systems, automated harmonic analysis, and correlated time-frequency...

One Signal, Four Perspectives: What a 12-Bit Oscilloscope Actually Shows You
The same signal, four analytical perspectives at once. The Teledyne LeCroy WavePro 804HD-MS 12-bit demo in Turin showed what it means to move from waveform observation to behavioral characterization.

12-Bit Oscilloscopes: When More Resolution Reveals More — and Demands More
12-bit resolution gives you 16× more vertical detail than standard 8-bit. But it also amplifies everything your probe introduces. A breakdown of the Yokogawa DLM5058HD demo

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.
