Motor Control and Solar Inverter Stable Power Quality Analysis
AI Data Center PMIC Solutions Realize High-Precision Power Analysis

Tektronix plays a key role in power system verification and development by assisting with high-precision analysis through advanced test solutions, ranging from power semiconductor devices to inverters, motor drives, and even minute noise in PMICs, which are power management ICs for AI data centers.

Tektronix Korea participated in the 2025 Power Electronics Conference, held at the Pyeongchang Alpensia Convention Center from July 7 to 10, and introduced its advanced test solutions.

Director Shin Ji-in, who was in charge of introducing Tektronix at the conference, stated that Tektronix attracted the attention of industry and academic stakeholders by being recognized for the excellence of its solutions in various application fields, including power semiconductors, motor control, solar inverters, and power management ICs (PMICs).

According to Director Shin Ji-in, the performance of power semiconductor devices hinges on switching characteristics in actual operating environments, and 'DPT (Double Pulse Test)' is utilized to accurately evaluate this.

DPT is a representative method for measuring switching speed and loss in an environment similar to actual operating conditions.

On the other hand, signal distortion may occur because the switching speed of recent devices is very fast.

TektronixTo solve these problems, [the company] presented the 'IsoVu™ probe' based on optical isolation technology.

In particular, as a solution capable of securing stable waveforms even in areas that are difficult to measure, such as high-side gate signals, it is recognized as the industry's first proprietary technology.

Furthermore, improving the quality and ensuring the stability of power systems are critical factors in actual industrial settings, such as with solar inverters and motor drivers.

Tektronix supports the configuration of control systems more stably and simply by converting complex three-phase AC signals into simple DC components through the 'DQ Zero Conversion' technique.

To this end, the system was configured to enable more precise and convenient power quality measurements through an analysis system based on an oscilloscope and IMDA software.

The power efficiency of rapidly growing AI data centers depends on the performance of the Power Management IC (PMIC).

A PMIC must reliably supply power to multiple power rails, and minute signal anomalies such as noise and ripple can affect the entire system.

Tektronix provides 'Power Rail Probes' capable of detecting even such minute abnormal signals, enabling precise power analysis based on low self-noise and a wide offset range.

Tektronix will celebrate its 80th anniversary in 2026 and plans to launch a variety of new products focused on the power sector in the second half of the year.

In particular, industry expectations are rising as high-performance analysis solutions suitable for next-generation semiconductors and eco-friendly energy systems are expected to be included.

Director Shin Ji-in stated, “Tektronix will celebrate its 80th anniversary in 2026, and “We plan to launch a variety of new products centered on the power sector in the second half of the year,” they stated. “In particular, expectations from the industry are high as the products will include high-performance analysis solutions suitable for next-generation semiconductors and eco-friendly energy systems. We ask for your continued interest.”
