PMK Expands Its High-Speed Differential Probe Series (HSDP)

PMK is excited to announce three new models in its successful High-Speed Differential Probe (HSDP) series, with bandwidths of 1.5 GHz, 1.0 GHz and 500 MHz. Thanks to their very low intrinsic noise, the new probes give engineers and researchers even more power for validating and characterizing serial bus standards such as CAN, Ethernet, FlexRay, HDMI and many more.

Working with larger devices under test (DUTs)? The HSDP series also offers models with 3.5 m and 7.5 m cable lengths, so you can reach your measurement points with ease.

A wide range of accessories is available to connect even to the most challenging probing points.

PMK is excited to announce new models of its successful optical isolated probe FireFly^©. Two new Models FF-0600A with 600 MHz and FF-1000A with 1 GHz bandwidth will support engineers and researchers in their validation and characterization work on power semiconductor testing.

The lower bandwidth models especially address the IGBT, Silicon Carbid (SiC) and low frequency switching Gallium Nitrid (GaN) applications.

The use of lower bandwidth models for lower switching frequencies applications will benefit from lower intrinsic probe noise but maintain the same high-class temperature stability. All FireFly^© models have interchangeable accessories that allow use with all models. Also, all existing PMK power supplies can be used to power the new probe.

Many users today operate 8-channel oscilloscopes and multiple active probes simultaneously. To meet this growing demand, we are expanding our existing 2-channel and 4-channel power supply series with a compact 8-channel model that maintains the same form factor as the established units.

The new power supply also delivers clean, stable, and low-noise output voltages across all eight channels. High-quality filtering ensures excellent signal integrity and reliable performance even in complex measurement setups. Via USB (Order No. 889-09V-PS6) and optionally additional LAN (Order No. 889-09V-PS6L), the power supply integrates seamlessly into laboratory environments and automated test systems.

As with all models in the series, the 8-channel version is fully compatible with the PMK Probe Control software, offering a user-friendly graphical interface as well as a Python API for automated scripting and real-time monitoring of power supply parameters.

With the new 8-channel model, PMK provides an even more flexible and compact power solution for its universally applicable active probes, which are thanks to their standard BNC output compatible with any oscilloscope.

For climate chambers: Measurements from -55 to 200 °C

A big thank you to the Elektronik Praxis team for the successful technical article about our new high-temperature probing solutions.

The new ENVI series enables precise voltage measurement at -55°C to +200 °C and thus reliable measurement results in automotive endurance and function tests, on control units (ECUs), inverters, sensors and power modules. Even CAN, LIN and Flexray measurements can now be carried out directly in the climatic chamber under realistic conditions.

Many thanks to the editors for bringing our patented ENVI technology closer to users. Many have been waiting for exactly such a solution.

The state-of-the-art high voltage probe series PHVX establishes itself with its first 4kV model PHVX4kV as the best-in-class solution for the growing demands of power electronics design, e.g. low side VDS measurements in double pulse testing of high-speed high-voltage switching devices of SiC technology, and IGBTs, thyristors, fast-switching HV diodes, and more.

With <3pF low input capacitance and a bandwidth exceeding 600MHz, the PHVX series ensures accurate and reliable measurements for fast-switching devices and power electronics, making it an essential tool for engineers working on advanced designs having a protected test environment.

The PHVX series probes have a universal BNC output connector and are compatible with any oscilloscope in the lab with 1 MΩ input impedance.

PMK’s PHVX series probes are not for handheld use and for integration into full-automated or manual test stations for high-voltage safety reasons. All PHVX probes are therefore used as a voltage-measuring component (permanently attached device) of a test system.

The probe series impresses with its innovative and compact form factor. Individual contacting with high signal fidelity in different applications is ensured with the replaceable spring tip and a variety of contacting accessories for high voltages. Particularly the unique ground ring, which can be rotated through 360° and thus enables direct contacting to 5.08 mm pitch square pin headers without adding any additional capacitive loading to the DUT for highest signal fidelity. In addition, there is a wide range of soldering adapters, BNC adapters, and other accessories for easy and save connectivity for this non-handheld probe.

Each voltage model is available in different cable lengths and configurations, w/o additional Silicon insulation (S) for high power measurements, and w/o read-out (RO) that features intelligent communication with automatic scaling on the oscilloscope display.

The state-of-the-art high voltage differential probe series HORNET® will be shown to the public the first time at APEC 2024.

HORNET® series probes combine a ±4000V differential and common mode voltage input range with a remarkable >300MHz bandwidth, establishing itself as the best-in-class solution for the growing demands of wide bandgap power electronics design, e.g. double pulse testing of high-speed high-voltage switching devices of SiC technology, and testing of IGBTs, thyristors, fast-switching HV diodes, and more.

This high voltage differential probe series is not for handheld use but for integration into test stations. HORNET® is therefore used as a voltage-measuring component (permanently attached device) in a test system or safety test environment.

The HORNET® series probes have a universal BNC output connector and is compatible with any oscilloscope in the lab with 50Ω input impedance, or 1MΩ input impedance and a 50Ω feed-through termination.

Visit us at APEC, 25. – 29 February 2024, at booth 2021 or reach out to our sales teams via sales@pmk.de, or sales@pmkamerica.comfor the Americas, if you have any questions.
