SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE AT LOWER VOLTAGES
120 V / 240 V Half-Bridge Circuit Topologies
Single-phase switch-mode power supplies and other devices utilizing half-bridge topologies need test and validation at
DC bus voltages up to 340 Vdc with up to 680 Vp-p on the input voltage. HVD310x probes are cost-effective solutions for
probing the wide range of high voltage signals present in these systems. “No Accessory (NOACC)” versions of these probes
permit additional cost savings. Use your existing accessories or purchase just the ones you want.
MOSFET/IGBT Devices
Upper-side Gate Drive Voltage Measurements
Typically from 3 to 20 volts and “floating” at up to the DC
Bus voltage. HVD Series probes can provide very good
results, but the HVFO High Voltage Fiber Optic probe
is optimized for the best upper-side gate drive voltage
measurements with 140 dB CMRR, reduced DUT loading,
and better pulse response.
Device Analysis
Conduction loss or Rds(on) measurements require a
voltage probing solution that has high CMRR, fast overdrive
recovery, voltage clamping (so the oscilloscope is not
overdriven), compensation flatness, gain/amplication to
see small signal details, and precise offset generation to
see the switching device’s turn-off performance. For this
type of analysis, the Teledyne LeCroy DA1855A Differential
Amplier is the best solution. It provides 100 MHz
bandwidth, excellent common mode rejection ratio (CMRR)
of 100,000:1 (typical), and overdrive recovery to within
100 mV from a 400 V input signal in less than 100 ns.

UNDERSTANDING HV DIFFERENTIAL PROBE RATINGS
AC line voltages and power electronics systems can operate at very high voltages, and all parts of the measurement
circuit are not necessarily connected to ground, requiring HV safety ratings. Additionally, a variety of terms may be used
to describe the same voltage. Below is a simple tutorial to help you understand the various types of voltage terms and
how they relate to each other. Understanding these voltage terms is necessary to ensure the correct probe selection.
Rectied AC (DC Bus/Link Voltage)
For three-phase inputs, the three Line-Neutral (L-N) AC
Line inputs are rectied and summed to provide a “stiff” DC
(bus/link) voltage for the input to an inverter subsection.
The example shown to the right is for a 600 Vrms system.
The Line-Neutral RMS voltages are 600V/√3, and each
Vpeak(L-N) is calculated as √2*Vrms. The DC bus voltage
after rectication and ltering is equal to √3*Vpeak(L-N), or
847 Vdc in this case.
Single-phase AC Line Input
Ratings are provided in Vrms (also referred to as Vac) referred
Line-Neutral. AC Line inputs are usually grounded and these
voltages can be assumed to have a 0V reference voltage.
Vpeak is calculated as √2*Vrms and Vpk-pk is calculated as
2*Vpeak. The example to the right is for a 120 Vrms rating.
Three-phase AC Line Input
Ratings are provided in Vrms (also referred to as Vac)
referred Line-Line (L-L), which can be converted in
magnitude to a Line-Neutral basis by dividing by √3.
Vpeak (L-L) is calculated √2*Vrms and Vpk-pk is calculated
as 2*Vpeak. The example on the left is for a 480 Vrms
three-phase rated system with signals shown as Line-Line.
Inverter or Drive H-Bridge or
Cascaded H-Bridge Outputs
The nominal peak voltage (+ or -) of the PWM signals
without accounting for signal overshoot is equal to the DC
bus voltage. The measured 0V differential voltage value is
not ground-referenced, and therefore a differential probe
suitably rated to the DC bus voltage is recommended. Note
that the +Vpeak and -Vpeak plus overshoot safety margin
(typically ~50%) is what the HV differential probe must
measure - Vpk-pk (2*Vpeak) will never occur in the circuit.
