High frequency voltage measurement with digital multimeter

electronium

Hello, I hope you are doing well
Guys, because I don't have a scope, if I want to measure the high frequency voltage with digital multimeter dt830d and victorvc97 and multimeters from this group, the gate voltage of MOSFET or igbt or pwm base transistor doesn't show the high frequency and the display number toggles, it doesn't fixed.Is there a pre-circuit for this??
Please help, after the prop multimeter, it can measure the pwm high frequency voltage in the switching sources. I don't know what circuit and how it should be?!

Assuming you want to measure the frequency (not the voltage) you can get a voltage to frequency (and frequency to voltage) conversion chip.

If, on the other hand, you want to measure the voltage - rectify the signal through a diode and into a capacitor (second leg connected to ground) and you'll get the peak voltage that you can measure as DC voltage.

I did not understand what you said, can you draw the circuit for me?
At the same time, I want to get high frequency voltage

Something like this...

Known as a "peak detector" - this will show the highest positive voltage input to this circuit over the time you measure. Set your meter to DCV when measuring between nodes 0 and 2. The output voltage will be about 0.6V less than your actual input peak because of the diode voltage drop.

Now if the voltage is very high, for example 311v pwm
drain and gate If MOSFET is considered, can it be the same circuit?

You'd need to check the rating of the meter you're using, diode, the capacitor and the wire.

Then you'll need to be careful to discharge the capacitor after each use as you'll have a high voltage discharge and a spark. You may want to use a high voltage transistor to do the discharge so you don't have bare wires - you definitely get a spark and pop some molten metal - wear goggles and gloves if you don't find a high-voltage resistor. Also, if you simply use a switch, it may not last for many measurements.

Also, consider using a smaller capacitor 0.001uF (1nF).

I will implement the circuit and report the result in this thread in the form of images and clips

Note that for high frequency signals, normal rectifier diodes like 1N4000 series will not work well - you need a "Fast recovery" type.

A UF4007 or similar would be suitable. The diode also needs to be rated at greater than double the highest peak voltage you will ever measure.

(A 1N4007 can take 30uS to stop conducting after the polarity reverses, so they should not be used for frequencies all that far above 50/60Hz).

He said he is using the ES2J diode (2A, 600V, 35nSec)
