Power distribution networks are the silent backbone of today’s high-performance designs. As voltages shrink and switching speeds rise, even small variations in power delivery can lead to instability, jitter, or outright system failure.

However, making accurate power integrity measurements isn’t always straightforward — engineers face challenges such as probe loading, noise floor limitations, and capturing fast transient events.

Cameron Lowe, Tektronix Field Applications Engineer, will explore the essential building blocks of power integrity testing and share practical demonstrations you can replicate in your own lab: 

• Measure PDN impedance and identify resonances that can destabilize the design
• Characterize ripple and noise while avoiding common probing pitfalls
• Capture transient response to reveal how a system behaves under dynamic load conditions

Register for the on-demand webinar to gain a clear understanding of the measurement setups, techniques, and considerations needed to confidently validate power rails — and the insight to connect power integrity directly to system performance.
