Transient Testing
Transient load current step testing is a critical part of power system design, test, and verification. No matter the architecture, design make-up, or power levels, transient testing is key to evaluating many aspects, including power integrity, power distribution network (PDN) validation, Voltage Regulation Module (VRM) stability and transient response, noise, large-signal control loop stability, input filter stability, load emulation, thermal (TDP) testing, and IC package performance.
Picotest’s line of transient steppers enable testing of very fast load current transitions, high peak and average power, via multiple form factors that previously were unavailable or impractical to accomplish. In particular, demanding low-voltage, high-current applications, including those found in data centers, AI, graphics, EV, and servers, can now be tested.
The power distribution networks that provide power to advanced digital loads such as CPUs, ASICs, FPGAs, and other custom ICs can now be validated before the costly ICs are exposed to any power system-related unknowns.
Delivery: 4-6 weeks, depending on resistor selection. Resistor selection must be specified at checkout.
