In today’s high-performance microcontroller landscape, power distribution has become more critical than ever. As supply voltages continue to drop—from 3.3 V down to 1.8 V and even as low as 1.1 V—tolerances are shrinking, now down to 1%-5%. This level of precision requires designers to meticulously monitor DC power rails and voltage lines to ensure they meet stringent quality and integrity standards.
To achieve optimal power efficiency and reduce power consumption, it’s essential to measure and address ripple, noise, and transients riding on voltage rails. These measurements help you maintain a clean power rail, allowing for smooth and stable operation in your circuit. By accurately capturing small and rapid AC signals on DC lines, you can ensure your design meets the highest standards in power integrity.
