DCS025 Deskew Current Source Key Features 10 ns signal fall time Only 1 ns static skew The DCS025 Deskew Current Source generates time-aligned voltage and current pulses for precise deskew of voltage and current probes. 5 V and 100 mA time-aligned output This is critical for measurements in which small propagation delay signals differences between probes can have a large impact on a calculated Loop size compatible with 30, 150 measurement, e.g., instantaneous power semiconductor device loss and 500A current probes measurements. Compatible with standard and Simple to Use Low Static Skew high-sensitivity current probes A voltage probe connects to the The internal static skew of the voltage pulse signal and ground DCS025 is only 1 ns well-matched connection and a current probe to the rise times of the DCS025 connects around the current pulse and the probes commonly used for loop. Propagation delay differences power semiconductor device loss between the two probes are then measurements. measured and manually deskewed Automatic Triggering Setup by the operator using the Deskew The DCS025 connects to the EXT adjustment in the oscilloscopes input of the oscilloscope and outputs Channel setup dialog. a trigger signal to simplify time Large Current Loop alignment and deskew operations to The DCS025 has a large current loop the signal fall time at the center of the that is compatible with Teledyne oscilloscope display. LeCroy small (e.g., CP03x) and large sized current probes (e.g., CP150, CP500). Channel acquisition averaging permits measurement of the output current amplitude with higher amperage current probes. CP030 30A current probe and HVD3106 high voltage differential probe CP150 150A current probe and HVD3106 high voltage differential connected to an HDO6104A-MS 12-bit resolution high definition oscillo - probe connected to an HDO6104A-MS 12-bit resolution high definition scope. The DCS025 is connected to the EXT input (to conserve analog oscilloscope. The DCS025 is connected to the EXT input (to conserve channels) and the deskew amount is adjusted for one of the probes in analog channels) and the deskew amount is adjusted for one of the the channel dialog menu. probes in the channel dialog menu. In this case, a vertical Zoom of the current signal is used for deskewing. Specifications Electrical Characteristics Compatibility Signal Fall Time (80-20%) 10 ns The DCS025 requires the Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope to be running <2 ns (guaranteed) firmware version 8.4.1.4 or greater in order to utilize the automated Static Skew Between Inputs <1 ns (typical) triggering setup. Otherwise, the DCS025 is compatible with any ProBus compatible Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope Environmental Operating Temperature Range 0 to 50 C Non-operating Temperature Range -40 to +70 C Humidity 5% to 95% RH (10 to 40 C) Ordering Information 5% to 75% (above 40 C) RH not controlled below 10 C Product Description Product Code Operating Altitude 3000 meters maximum Deskew Current Source DCS025 Physical Dimensions (WxHxD) 46 mm x 24 mm x 108 mm (1.81 x 0.95 x 4.25) Weight 119 g (0.26 lb) Customer Service Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes and probes are designed, built, and tested to ensure high reliability.
