Accelerates Development of Power, Automotive
& Embedded Systems
Teledyne LeCroy, Inc., the worldwide leader in high channel
count and high definition oscilloscopes, and a business unit of
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY), announced the
availability of the WaveRunner 8000HD High Definition Oscilloscope
(HDO), the MDA 8000HD Motor Drive Analyzer (MDA), and OscilloSYNCTM
technology.
Designers of high-power inverters and motor drives, such as
electric vehicle (EV) propulsion drives, vehicle non-propulsion
drives, and solar photovoltaic (PV) inverters require an accurate
understanding of system power under varying loads (aka, dynamic
power). At the same time, designers of embedded systems found in
power conversion systems, consumer electronics, mobile devices, and
automotive electronics must validate complex power distribution
networks (PDNs). Both designers must correlate a significant number
of power, sensor, and control events. The new WaveRunner 8000HD,
MDA 8000HD and OscilloSYNC technology will help these design
engineers more quickly and accurately characterize system
performance in high power inverters, motor drives and embedded
systems.
WaveRunner 8000HD Delivers an Unprecedented Combination of
Capabilities
The WaveRunner 8000HD uses Teledyne LeCroy’s HD4096 TM
technology to deliver 12-bit resolution all the time across 8
channels, up to a market-leading 2 GHz of bandwidth and offers five
times more memory than any other oscilloscope. The combination of
12-bit vertical resolution and high bandwidth enable better
visibility into high-speed signal details. The higher channel count
and long memory permit more signals to be captured over a longer
period. This makes the WaveRunner 8000HD the best choice for design
engineers with demanding embedded control system and power
integrity debug requirements.
“With more signals, sensor inputs and power rails than ever,
engineers need oscilloscopes with lower noise and more channels,
resolution, bandwidth, and acquisition memory to understand and
debug the tangle of tightly coupled signal interactions,” said
Tyler Cox, General Manager at Teledyne LeCroy’s Oscilloscope
Business Unit. “The WaveRunner 8000HD oscilloscope is unmatched in
all of these specifications, allowing engineers to address these
complex power conversion, embedded control system and power
integrity issues.”
Like its predecessors, the WaveRunner 8000HD contains an
industry-leading, powerful and deep toolbox for analysis of
electronic signals. Combined with HD4096TM High Definition
technology, WaveRunner 8000HD oscilloscopes provide the most
comprehensive and efficient debug and validation solution for
complex electronic designs.
MDA 8000HD Provides Insight Across the Entire Motor Drive
System
The new MDA 8000HD motor drive analyzer is the only product that
combines the capabilities of a power analyzer with those of an
oscilloscope. In this case, the MDA 8000HD leverages the WaveRunner
8000HD platform for unprecedented channel counts, memory depth,
sample rates and bandwidth. The MDA adds the ability to perform
comprehensive static and dynamic 3-phase electrical and mechanical
power analysis for complete test coverage of the entire motor-drive
system.
“Ubiquitous and growing in complexity, motors and drives are
increasingly optimized for dynamic operating conditions,” said
Kenneth Johnson, Director of Product Marketing at Teledyne LeCroy.
“Traditional power analyzer instruments have not kept up with
industry needs for dynamic power analysis. At the same time,
oscilloscopes have been the traditional tool for gaining insight
into embedded control system operation. The two instruments
historically have operated in different domains, making it
difficult to correlate their respective data sets and leaving large
gaps in engineers’ knowledge of dynamic system operation. The MDA
8000HD closes this knowledge gap by offering complete insight
across the entire system.”
OscilloSYNCTM Doubles Channel Capacity
The new OscilloSYNCTM technology offers the flexibility to team
two WaveRunner 8000HD or two MDA 8000HD instruments together. For
the first time, users can view and control 16 synchronized analog
channels from a single display and front panel—the equivalent of
having a single 16-channel acquisition system. When necessary,
design teams can exit OscilloSYNC and use each oscilloscope
independently. No other oscilloscope manufacturer offers this level
of flexibility or this many channels. This doubling of input
channel count uniquely supports these key applications:
- Power integrity measurements in embedded systems with more than
8 power rails and correlated current, clock, logic, sensor, and
serial data signals.
- Electrical Power Measurements on 3 phase motors where 16
channels are required to measure complete 3-phase AC input, DC bus,
3-phase drive output, plus calculate mechanical power output and
efficiency.
- Cascaded H-bridge (3-phase) inverter subsection analysis
requiring 12-16 analog channels to measure six power-semiconductor
outputs and six gate-drive signals with some scenarios adding
three-phase output signals and one DC bus-voltage signal.
