This article explains how the inductance of passive probe ground leads can dramatically reduce effective bandwidth, distort measurements, and introduce resonance and frequency-response errors.
This tutorial explains a robust oscilloscope-based method for measuring clock jitter using period statistics, track and histogram analysis, and sample-rate verification techniques.
This article introduces the RP2060 and RP4060 power rail probes, designed for modern 48 V power architectures with high offset capability, low-noise measurements, and high-bandwidth power integrity analysis.
Patrick Connally joined Teledyne LeCroy in 2013. He guides development of high-bandwidth oscilloscopes and signal analysis methodologies for high-speed serial communications applications. He received his PhD from Queen’s University Belfast in 2006.
Characterizing PDN noise—whether from self-aggression, board coupling, or mutual aggressors—is essential to maintaining millivolt-level power integrity margins.
Board pollution noise arises when switching activity and VRM ripple couple onto PCB power planes, and spectral analysis can reveal the dominant aggressors.
