Differential solder-in scope probes reduce rise times, ac loading

摘要

LeCroy's line ofWavelink high-bandwidth differential solder-in probes provides rise-time performance of 20psec for a 20GHz probe with a 20GHz oscilloscope. This figure is the same rise time as that of the scope alone. Probe noise is 25nV rms/= and minimum high-frequency ac loading of 175Ω. According to the manufacturer, these probes' signal fidelity, which is essential for accurately characterizing next-generation serial data, more closely approximates that of cabled inputs than does that of any other similar-bandwidth probes.
