As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to proliferate, understanding the infrastructure that supports them, particularly Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), or charging stations, becomes crucial. This guide explains what EVSE is, how it works, and why it's essential for the transition to electric mobility.
After learning about EVSE, take the next step to learn about EVSE test and measurement …
Tektronix has a long history of giving the industry a high-fidelity window into high-speed signals with oscilloscopes, probes, signal analyzers and signal sources. Tektronix is a favorite among designers in renewable energy, electric vehicles, and data center power, among other power-related industries. Keithley, also part of the Tektronix family, is a recognized leader in measurement instruments …
Accurate energy loss measurements are one of the key objectives of double pulse testing. Eliminating the timing skew between voltage and current probes is a critical step in making accurate power and energy measurements on an oscilloscope.
The double pulse testing software (WBG-DPT), available on the 4 Series, 5 Series and 6 Series MSOs, includes a new deskew technology designed specifically for …
This EE World article – Automate Double-Pulse Testing in WBG Devices – explores how automating double-pulse testing for wide bandgap devices like SiC and GaN power devices results in significant reductions in setup and analysis time.
Keithley’s line of Touch Test Invent™ graphical Instruments have the ability to locally run custom scripts written in the Test Script Processor (TSP™) language. These scripts allow the instrument to execute code in real time written by you.
The example script provided allows a 2400 Series Graphical SMU to function as a power supply by outputting a constant wattage. A traditional power supply …
Current markets are leading to high demand for battery cells. One way for manufacturers to increase throughput is to reduce the time spent making each battery. The formation and aging stage is the most time consuming part of the cell manufacturing process. Ensuring that the right equipment is used for the job can help with some of the challenges facing formation and aging.
What is Formation and …

The 2281S’s Role in Wireless Device Testing
According to the National Science Foundation, wireless broadband communications networks have become an essential component of society, and breakthrough innovations in wireless communications increase the ability of people, government, and businesses to interact with one another, supporting technological, economic, and social growth (National Science …
New innovations in technology have allowed us to begin adopting 5G communication network which allows users to share data at a pace that is 3 to 5 times faster than that of 4G (J.P.Morgan, 2021). By 2030, the 5G market is expected to exceed $180 billion just in North America alone (J.P.Morgan, 2021). As more users begin to switch to 5G, the demand for more wireless devices has increased and so has …
Power supplies and voltage regulators are typically designed to maintain a constant voltage over a particular current range. The supply should respond quickly to demand changes while maintaining a constant output, without excessive ringing or oscillation. To do this, power supplies are essentially amplifiers with a closed feedback loop. Control loop measurements help to measure how a power supply …
