See the LTpowerAnalyzer in action, running actual Bode plots, transient responses, and output impedance measurements on a variety of power supply topologies. Learn how to operate the LTpowerAnalyzer for any circuit and compare actual results with simulations.

The LTpowerAnalyzer Compensation Probe is designed to support the optimization of loop compensation in power supply designs by minimizing board rework. The board functions as a programmable substitute for the series R-C network in a Type 2 compensator, allowing customers to easily evaluate power supply Bode plots and transient responses using different combinations of resistances and capacitances. 

The DC Efficiency Meter is a portable measurement platform designed for characterizing the efficiency of DC power supply designs using the LTpowerAnalyzer system. This is an inexpensive power supply analysis solution enabling customers to easily evaluate the efficiency and power loss of their design using only a single, compact instrument.
