Agilent Technologies' Active Probes Ease R&D by Optimizing Performance of New Mid-range Infiniium Oscilloscopes
High-performance Probes with Compact Form Factor Can Probe Hard-to-reach Areas
PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 2, 2002 -- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today introduced three active probes for the new Infiniium 54800 Series oscilloscopes. The probes' innovative design optimizes scope performance and simplifies the design phase. When coupled with new accessories such as a resistive
signal pin, the probes provide R&D engineers with accurate insight into the design of high-speed circuits.
The Agilent Infiniium 1156A, 1157A and 1158A probes' compact size
makes it easier for engineers to test a wide variety of interfaces, gain access to more signals, and probe small geometries in hard-to-reach areas.
"This is the only high-bandwidth, active probe on the market in which the waveform at the output closely matches the waveform at the input, optimizing probing performance to make engineers' jobs easier," said Dave Dascher, senior design engineer at Agilent.
The new Infiniium active probes offer a wide array of benefits, particularly related to performance. These include:
o high-input impedance of 100 k Ohms and 0.8 pF, which never resonates low, and therefore is unlikely to impact signals;
o flat frequency response across the probe's entire bandwidth, which ensures that what is seen on the probe tip is exactly what is shown on the scope screen;
o a full 5 V peak-to-peak wider dynamic range; and
o +/- 15 V of offset, which enables engineers to use a single set of probes to handle the full breadth of measurements for a broad spectrum of applications.
Other notable features include an 88 ps rise time (on 4 GHz models only), a small form-factor for easier probing, and compatibility with the Infiniium AutoProbe interface.
The probes come equipped with a full range of accessories. They include:
o resistive signal pin;
o solderable-tip 5 cm resistive signal lead;
o socket-end 5 cm resistive signal lead;
o socket-end 10 cm resistive signal lead;
o micro clip;
o ground blade assembly;
o solderable SMT ground pin;
o solderable through-hold ground pin;
o solderable-tip 5 cm ground lead;
o socket-end 5 cm ground lead; and
o socket-end 5 cm, 90-degree pin ground lead.
