Optimize Semiconductor Power Efficiency and Performance
As the demand for energy efficiency grows, engineers struggle to quickly measure, analyze, and react to power consumption and performance data. Traditional instrumentation, such as oscilloscopes and DMMs, are too expensive to scale, and low-cost data acquisition solutions aren't always accurate enough. Faced with this difficult decision, some organizations choose not to fully analyze power efficiency, leaving them at risk of missing market windows or losing competitive opportunities.
A semiconductor power validation solution must:
- Provide a cost-effective and consistent way to measure semiconductor power consumption
- Enable engineers to quickly acquire, visualize, and analyze measurement data
- Enable faster time to market for devices under test
- Provide accurate and relevant feedback to designers and potential customers
