Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) has
introduced InfiniiMode differential probes, a new generation of low-cost,
1.5-GHz, 3.5-GHz, and 6-GHz differential active probes for general-purpose,
high-speed differential probing. They are especially well suited for digital
system design, component design/characterization and differential serial bus
measurements.
Engineers who use high-bandwidth
oscilloscopes commonly use active differential probes to measure high-speed
signals, but these probes cannot easily show the individual components that
make up differential signals. As data signal speeds continue to increase,
engineers increasingly need their oscilloscope probes to be able to make fast,
accurate measurements. Traditionally, they have looked at separate components
using multiple probes and scope channels, but these methods are error-prone and
time-consuming.
The Agilent N2750A Series probes come
with new InfiniiMode technology. InfiniiMode allows convenient measurements of
differential, single-ended and common-mode signals with a single probe tip
without reconnecting the probe to change the connection. InfiniiMode improves
productivity and offers greater accuracy than making the same measurements with
multiple probes.
Using the quick-action scope control button
built into the probe, engineers can easily control the most-needed scope
functions. With their low input loading (200 kohm differential), wide dynamic
range (10 Vpp), wide offset range (±15 V) and high common-mode rejection ratio
(>60 dB at 1 MHz), these probes can be used in a wide variety of analog
signal measurements as well.
