Overview
Overview
The Picotest J2101A Wideband Injection Transformer (SKU: J2101A) enables safe and precise injection of test signals into the control loops of DC-DC converters and power supply systems, making it invaluable for stability, gain, and phase margin measurements. Spanning a frequency range from 10Hz to 45MHz and supporting off-line power supplies, the J2101A suits both low- and high-frequency power integrity testing scenarios.
Application
Primarily used for Bode plot and loop response analysis, the J2101A provides a low-distortion, galvanically isolated signal path between a network analyzer and the device under test. Its 1:1 ratio, 600V isolation voltage, and robust 5 Ohm termination assure compatibility with most analyzers and power electronics, including power factor correctors (PFCs), switching regulators, and LDOs.
Product Range
The J2101A forms part of Picotest’s comprehensive injector family. Consider the J2100A for ultra-low frequency needs, or the J2110A Solid State Injector for DC to 45MHz bandwidth with ultra-low noise and higher precision.
Why Choose J2101A?
Its unmatched balance of wide bandwidth, robust isolation, and low distortion ensures reliable performance and minimal impact on the circuit. Engineers who require accurate, repeatable measurement of control loop stability in modern high-speed designs consistently value the J2101A.

Safety and Ease of Use
Der Picotest J2101A wird verwendet, um ein Signal einzuspeisen, normalerweise in eine Regelschleife, um die Stabilität von DC-DC-Wandlern zu messen. Er wurde mit einer Bandbreite von 10 Hz bis 45 MHz entwickelt und wird häufig mit einem Vektornetzwerkanalysator verwendet.
Picotest bietet zwei verschiedene Injektionstransformatoren an, die speziell für unterschiedliche Anwendungen optimiert sind. Beide sind aus Materialien gefertigt, die den meisten anderen Injektionstransformatoren überlegen sind, was zu einer deutlich verbesserten Bandbreite, Haltbarkeit und Gesamtleistung führt. Die nutzbare Bandbreite der Picotest-Injektionstransformatoren ist größer als die 3-dB-Frequenzgrenzen.
