摘要: Using “in-situ on-die time-domain reflectometry (TDR)” with data signal paths of integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, and data processing equipment and systems allows testing, verification and troubleshooting of data channel signal path impedance variations including the package, escape routing, socket, board, and cable/connectors provides fast characterization thereof. Operation of “in-situ on-die TDR” uses existing analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and data transmitter (TX) drivers of an integrated circuit to act as a TDR sampling head by performing a user interface-based TDR sampling with a step-waveform generated by an integrated circuit TX driver. Then sampling the step-waveform with the ADC of the integrated circuit using spline interpolation to obtain the over-sampled waveform. Once the sampled step-waveform is obtained, the TDR profile of the sampled data channels may be calculated. Large amounts of impedance variation data may thus be collected during either integrated circuit manufacturer or customer-built data communications channel testing.

摘要: A method for generating a reflectometry signal intended to be injected into a transmission line in order to identify the presence of at least one possible fault on the line, the method includes the steps of: generating a first multi-carrier digital signal on a first set of frequency carriers, generating a second corrective multi-carrier digital signal on a second set of frequency carriers separate from the first set, summing the first digital signal and the second corrective digital signal so as to generate a reflectometry signal, normalizing the frequency carriers of the reflectometry signal, the second corrective digital signal being determined so as to reduce the peak to average power ratio of the reflectometry signal with respect to the first digital signal.

摘要: A device for monitoring a supply line of a frequency converter-fed electrical machine is used to predict failure, wear and/or ageing of the electrical supply line. The electrical supply line is designed and installed to connect an electrical machine in an industrial machine or plant or in a land or aircraft vehicle to a frequency converter. The frequency converter is designed and intended to supply the electrical machine with a single-phase or multi-phase alternating voltage with preferably variable voltage amplitude and pulse duration through the electrical supply line, wherein a change in pulse duration and/or voltage amplitude of the alternating voltage serves to change a speed or torque of the electrical machine. The frequency converter is set up and intended to provide each phase of the AC voltage as a sequence of square-wave pulses with a high edge steepness for feeding the electrical machine.

摘要: An apparatus is provided for detecting an internal defect of a battery cell. The apparatus may include a time domain reflectometry (TDR) module configured to apply an electrical pulse to the battery cell and compare a reference waveform with a measurement waveform generated by detecting a reflected wave of the electrical pulse to determine whether a defect has occurred, and a signal line configured to electrically connect the TDR module to an electrode lead of the battery cell. The electrical pulse may be applied in a longitudinal direction of the battery cell. A method of detecting an internal defect of a battery cell is also provided.

摘要: Systems and techniques for line diagnostics. In particular, disclosed herein are systems and techniques for line diagnostics that sense a state of an electrical cable by using multiple, time-spaced stimuli and detecting their signal reflection time at different threshold levels. Information derived from multiple reflections may be used to determine cable characteristics (e.g., “wire short,” “wire open,” “correctly terminated,” etc.). The systems and techniques disclosed herein may advantageously require less complex hardware and implementation algorithms than conventional time domain reflectometry (TDR) approaches, and thus may be implemented in settings in which TDR was previously unsuitable. Further, if a cable issue is detected, the systems and techniques disclosed herein may determine the approximate location of the cable issue along the cable, accelerating correction of the issue.

摘要: A crack detection chip includes a chip which includes an internal region and an external region surrounding the internal region, a guard ring formed inside the chip along an edge of the chip to define the internal region and the external region, an edge wiring disposed along an edge of the internal region in the form of a closed curve and a pad which is exposed on a surface of the chip and is connected to the edge wiring. The edge wiring is connected to a Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) module which applies an incident wave to the edge wiring through the pad, and detects a reflected wave formed in the edge wiring to detect a position of a crack.

摘要: Systems and methods are described for calculating a propagation delay of a transmission line. A transmitter may transmit a signal from a first end of a transmission line to a second end of the transmission line at a first time, t1. A signal reflection device (e.g., a passive resonator) connected to the second end of the transmission line may generate a reflection at a second time, t2. A reflection detector (e.g., a matched, passive resonator) at the first end of the transmission line may receive the reflection from the signal reflection device, at a third time, t3. A propagation delay calculator may calculate the propagation delay of the transmission line as corresponding to one-half of a difference between the first time, t1, and the third time, t3.
