General Purpose Probes Overview

Passive voltage probes are used for general purpose probing and are made with passive components only such as wires, connectors, capacitors and resistors (when attenuation is required). There are no active components such as transistors or amplifiers in the probe, and therefore passive voltage probes do not need to be powered.

Model Probe Type Applications and Use Page

116XA Family Passive voltage General purpose, Infiniium replacement probes 4 (excluding the 1163A)

117XA Family Passive voltage Fine-pitched ICs, surface mount devices, and dense circuit boards 7

Passive Voltage Probe Advantages Limitations

116XA are rugged, economical, easy to use, 600 MHz maximum bandwidth have high dynamic range and high input resistance Higher capacitive loading than active probes

117XA feature low mass, low weight, low tip 500 MHz bandwidth capacitance compared to other passive probes Not as rugged as 116XA for browsing

Figure 2.1. Agilent 116XA standard Infiniium replacement probe.

Figure 2.2. Agilent 117XA low mass probe for fine-pitched ICs, SMDs, and dense circuit boards.

General purpose probes are available with attenuation ratios of 1:1, 10:1, and 20:1. The 10:1 passive voltage probe is the most commonly used probe, and is supplied as a standard accessory with all Infiniium oscilloscopes having bandwidths ≤ 600 MHz.

Built for Reliability

These general purpose replacement devices are built and tested for high reliability. Kevlar strengthener has been added to the probe cable for extra pull strength. Durable probe tips are replaceable.

The compact design significantly reduces the problem of probing densely populated integrated circuit components or the characteristically minute conductors on printed circuit boards. These small lightweight probes allow measurements that were previously quite difficult, while reducing the danger of shorting. For tight probing areas, the probe handle can be unscrewed and pulled back along the cable.

When probing about the circuit in debug mode, the probes easily slip inside the included browsers. The browsers feature a crown point that digs into solder and avoids the danger of slipping off the test point and shorting to adjacent leads. A pogo pin allows hand movement on the probes without losing contact with the device under test.

General Purpose Probes

Agilent 117XA Family Low Mass, Passive Voltage

High-Frequency Voltage Probes Overview

Active voltage probes contain an active component, usually a fieldeffect transistor (FET), and therefore need to be powered. A FET input has the advantage of providing a very low input capacitance, typically from less than 1 pF to a few pF. This low capacitance results in a high input impedance on frequencies up to 7 GHz. With such low loading, active probes can be used on high-impedance circuits that would be seriously loaded by passive probes.

New InfiniiMax probe family.

The innovative InfiniiMax probe system provides either differentialor single-ended probing solutions for the most demanding connection requirements, without sacrificing performance.

Figure 3.2. Agilent 1156A/57A/58A active probes for signals up to 4 GHz.

Model Probe Type Applications and Use Page

1131A/32A/34A Active Diff/SE Measure both differential and single-ended signals up to 7 GHz 10

1155A Active Single-Ended Measure fast transitions on low-voltage signals, 2 channels 13

1156A/57A/58A Active Single-Ended Measure fast transitions on low-voltage signals up to 4 GHz 15

1163A Resistive divider Measure fast transitions on a wide range of signal voltages 4

54006A Resistive divider Low-cost alternative for high-frequency probing 18

High-Frequency Probe Advantages Limitations

Timing and voltage measurements more accurate at Active probes are more expensive than general purpose passive probes high bandwidths

Resistive divider probes cost less than active probes Relatively heavy resistive loading with resistive divider probes

Active probes are least intrusive to circuit under test, Active probes have lower dynamic range, lower maximum voltage and high input resistance are less rugged compared to passive probes

Resistive divider probes are passive probes. They feature low capacitive loading and accurate timing measurements with highbandwidth signals at a much lower cost than active probes.

High-Frequency Active Differential/Single-Ended Probe System

Agilent 1130A/31A/32A/34A InfiniiMax High-Performance Active Probe System

The Agilent InfiniiMax 1134A, 1132A, 1131A and 1130A probe systems provide 7 GHz, 5 GHz,

3.5 GHz and 1.5 GHz of bandwidth respectively, and offer the following benefits:

• The new probes have a flat

frequency response over the entire bandwidth specification,

eliminating the distortion and loading that affect probes with in-band resonance. The probing system enables engineers to utilize their oscilloscope’s entire bandwidth without being limited to measuring only 50 Ω transmission lines or using passive resistive divider probes that produce voltage measurement error and circuit loading. Designers can achieve system measurement bandwidths of

4.5 to 6 GHz even when manually “browsing” with the probe. Solder-in probe heads and solder-in sockets provide even higher bandwidths.

• The Agilent InfiniiMax 1130A

series probe system supports

a wide variety of real-world applications with an extensive line up of probe heads and accessories. The accessories

can meet the most demanding

• InfiniiMax 7 GHz, 5 GHz, 3.5 GHz,

and 1.5 GHz probing system

• Each InfiniiMax probe amplifier

supports both differential- and single-ended measurements for a more cost-effective solution

• Unrivaled InfiniiMax probing

accessories support browsing, solder-in, and socket use models at the maximum performance available

• The 1130A 1.5 GHz model includes

probe amplifier and browser kit

Figure 3.3. InfiniiMax offers you the highest performance available for measuring differential and single-ended signals.

mechanical access requirements. Small probe heads can be placed between densely packed PC boards. Solder-in sockets are available for signals that need frequent measurement. A differential SMA probe head is available to connect to fixtures that have SMA connections. A smart ergonomic design allows users to set the spacing between the probe pins (variable span). When not concerned with minimum probe size, designers can use a browsing sleeve to make holding the probe more comfortable. Both probe tips of the differential probe can “flex” to support various probing angles and target system characteristics (z-axis compliance). Innovative damped-wire accessories compensate for the inductance and capacitance associated with the leads, and prevent distortion of the measured signal.

• The groundbreaking design of Agilent InfiniiMax 1130A probe system also enables users to make either single-ended or

differential measurements from a single probe amplifier,

depending on their choice of probe head and accessory. This can result in significant savings in cost and time. The common mode rejection of the differential probe head reduces a measurement’s noise floor. Overall, the Agilent 1130 series probing system delivers unmatched performance, accuracy and connectivity.

It’s a powerful combination, ideal for connecting to and testing finepitch ICs, surface mount devices, and dense circuit boards.

The 1155A probe joins high bandwidth (750 MHz), low input capacitance (2 pF), and high resistance (1 MΩ). These features are well suited for measuring fast transition times on low voltage signals that cannot tolerate the circuit loading of passive probes.

A Wedge Probe Adapter, included with the probe, allows for handsfree probing of 0.5 mm ICs. The Wedge provides accurate, mechanically non-invasive electrical contact to the IC legs with little chance of shorting. It’s easy to insert and it stays put. For more information on the Wedge, see “Probing Accessories.” Leads are available for connecting to a wide variety of test points. See “Ordering Information” for a complete list.

These probes are compatible with the AutoProbe interface, which completely configures the oscilloscope for use with the probe. Power for the active probe is supplied by the oscilloscope. A snapon BNC connector simplifies attaching the probe to the scope.

Optimizing Oscilloscope Measurement Accuracy on High-Performance Systems with Agilent Active Probes

Application Note – publication number 5988-5021

• Ideal for a range of hi-speed applications

• 88 ps rise time (on 4 GHz model)

• 100 kΩ, 0.8 pF, non-resonant

input impedance

• 5 V peak-to-peak dynamic range

• ± 15 V offset

• Accessories designed for

minimal device loading and optimal response

• Small size for easier probing

As the speeds in your design increase, you may notice more overshoot, ringing, and other perturbations when connecting an oscilloscope probe. Probes form a resonant circuit where they connect to the device. If this resonance is within the bandwidth of the oscilloscope probe you are using, it will be difficult to determine if the measured perturbations are due to your circuit or the probe.

Combined with the Agilent 54846A/B Infiniium scope, the 1158A 4 GHz probe offers you a full 2.25 GHz of system bandwidth, giving you accurate insight into your hi-speed devices.

These probes are compatible with the AutoProbe interface, which completely configures the oscilloscope for use with the probe. Power for the active probe is supplied by the oscilloscope.

Faithful Reproduction of Your Signal

Now you can accurately measure your hi-speed signals without introducing errors from a probe that has a resonant input impedance or non-flat frequency response. With the 1156A/57A/58A probes, a damping resistor is placed as close as possible to the point being probed, which keeps

the input impedance from resonating low, and it also allows a flat frequency response across the entire bandwidth of the probe. Finally, there is a high-bandwidth active probe where the waveform onscreen matches the waveform at the probe tip. The 1158A offers a flat response for the entire bandwidth of a 4 GHz probe!

Small Size

Have you experienced problems with large, clunky probes? If so, you probably found your probe awkward to hold and had difficulty connecting to your signals. With the small size of the 1156A/57A/58A, you can handle the probe expertly and gain access to tight spaces. Plus, the low mass makes the probe more durable. Agilent makes your job easier–giving you performance that is easy to use.

Superior Accessories

Your device under test (DUT) determines the type of probing accessories you need. Of course, there are electrical trade-offs depending on the type of connection you use. Longer connections from your DUT produce lower performance probing systems.

Agilent offers a variety of accessories optimized to give you the most accurate reproduction of your signal. In addition, the performance of each accessory is characterized for you. Now you can make informed decisions and get the best measurement for your environment. Superior performance combined with the knowledge to use it–that’s how Agilent helps you do your job better.

Differential Voltage Probes Overview

Differential probes are active probes with two inputs, one positive and one negative, as well as a separate ground lead. They are used to look at signals that are referenced to each other instead of earth ground and to look at small signals in the presence of large dc offsets or other common mode signals such as noise. The differential amplifier in the probe rejects signals that are common

to the two inputs, removing the dc or common mode signals and leaving the signal of interest. The common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) characterizes how effectively the probe rejects signals common to each input. The CMRR for differential signals is much higher than using two passive probes and subtracting the signals with a math function.

Differential probes are used with RF communication ICs, semiconductor characterization (RAMBUS, Double Data Rate, DRAM, AGP), battery-powered communication and computing equipment (cellular phone, laptop computer, etc.), disk drive read-write channel signals, power supply design and verification, motor speed controls, electronic high-power converters, and other applications where signals are “floating” above ground.

Reliable Probing of Low-Bandwidth Signals

The Agilent 1153A is a 1:1 FET differential probe with 200 MHz bandwidth and 3000:1 CMRR (Common Mode Rejection Ratio) at 1 MHz. Two attenuators, 10:1 and 100:1, expand the dynamic range of the inputs up to + 30 V. The probe has a high input resistance of 1 MΩ and low input capacitance of 7 pF to minimize circuit loading.

Input coupling modes include dc, dc with variable offset, and lowfrequency (LF) reject. The probe also comes with an ac coupling adapter for those cases where the input dc voltage level prevents the use of LF reject. LF reject, like ac coupling, blocks the dc component in a signal without degrading low frequency CMRR, which occurs when you use blocking capacitors to accomplish ac coupling. The probe’s dual-path amplifier design provides superior dc stability by reducing the drift to less than 50 µV dc per degree Celsius.

High-Bandwidth Probing for Differential Signals

Get a better look at the small, fast signals prevalent in today’s designs. Features of the 1154A and 1159A probes include low noise, low input capacitance, high common mode rejection (CMRR), and field effect transistor (FET) buffered inputs in the probe head. User-selectable offset means additional flexibility to measure a large range of signal types. Plug-on attenuators and ac coupling accessories further the application range.

Included accessories allow connection to surface mount and through-hole components with minimal signal degradation. Input receptacles in the probe head are compatible with standard

0.025 inch (0.0635 mm) square

pins, which provide a convenient low-cost method of creating device characterization test fixtures.

The probes are compatible with the AutoProbe interface, which completely configures the Infiniium scope for the probe.

Agilent 1154A (500 MHz)

You’ll appreciate the versatility of this high-performance, general purpose probe. Selectable 10X gain and 10:1 attenuation are built directly into the probe as well as an external attenuator for a maximum of 100:1 attenuation. The probe also features external ac coupling to eliminate dc for simplified measurement of ac voltages.

Agilent 1159A (1 GHz)

You don’t have to attenuate the signal when you’re looking at hi-speed, low-level signals with the 1159A differential probe. Because it’s a 1:1 probe, the 1159A has TEN times the gain of a typical 10:1 active or passive probe. That makes it ideal for dealing with today’s fast, lowvoltage differential signals. The isolation provided by the differential probe makes it easier to characterize those signals and find noise spikes, ground noise problems, and cross coupling.

Active Differential Voltage Probes

Agilent 1154A/59A High-Bandwidth Active Differential Voltage

Current Probes Overview

Current probes sense the current flowing through a conductor and convert it to a voltage that can be viewed and measured on an oscilloscope. There are two types of current probes for oscilloscopes, ac current probes (usually passive probes) and ac/dc current probes (usually active probes). Both types use the same principle of transformer action for sensing ac current in a conductor. The alternating current flowing through a conductor causes a flux field to build and collapse according to the amplitude and direction of current flow. The ac current probe head is actually a coil— when placed in this field the changing flux field induces a voltage across the coil. The ac/dc current probes also contain a Hall Effect device to sense dc and low frequency ac. Because dc doesn’t cause a changing flux field it cannot be sensed by transformer action. Also, at frequencies very close to dc, the flux field may not change fast enough for measurable transformer action.

Within Budget, Without Compromise

The low-cost 1146A probe expands oscilloscope applications in industrial, automotive and power environments and is ideal for analysis and measurement of distorted current waveforms and harmonics. Accurate display and measurement of currents from 100 mA to 100 Arms, dc to 100 kHz, are made by using Hall Effect technology, eliminating the need for an electrical connection to the circuit.

Low phase shift makes this probe ideal for power quality measurements, while the high sensitivity makes it a great tool for measuring low-voltage signals. For true root mean square (RMS) measurements, the 1146A lets you measure the dc and ac output signals proportional to the total current. A battery level indicator and overload indicator help insure proper readings.

Current Probes

Agilent 1146A ac/dc Current

Accurate Current Measurements Without Breaking the Circuit

The 1147A is a wide bandwidth, dc to 50 MHz, current probe. The probe offers flat frequency response across the entire dc to 50 MHz bandwidth, low noise (< 2.5 mArms) and low-circuit insertion loss, making it ideal for general-purpose, high-frequency current probing in lab and bench environments. This probe is the best choice for measuring steady state or transient current of motor drives, switching power supplies, inverters, controllers, disk drives, LCD displays, and current amplifiers driving inductive loads.

The probe’s hybrid technology includes a Hall Effect device to sense the dc current and a current transformer to sense the ac current, making an electrical connection to the circuit unnecessary. Using split core construction, the probe easily clips on and off of a conductor up to 5 mm in diameter.

A Degauss function allows the removal of any residual magnetism that has built up in the magnetic core due to power on/off switching or excessive input. In addition, voltage offset or temperature drift on the probe can be easily corrected by using the zero adjustment dial.

Wedge Adapters

Agilent Wedge Probe Adapters

• Secure connection to 0.5 mm and

0.65 mm TQFP and PQFP devices

• Won’t fall off, short against adjacent legs, or degrade signal quality

• Can be inserted while the board is active

• 3, 8, and 16 signal versions

The Agilent Wedge Probe Adapter provides a highly reliable, mechanically non-invasive connection to fine-pitch TQFP and PQFP surface mount ICs. Compressible dual conductors inserted in the space between adjacent IC pins conform to the size and shape of each pin to ensure tight contact. The redundant physical connection created by two contact points on each pin of the IC and the short electrical length of the probe adapter dramatically increase the reliability of the electrical connection. Because the Wedge does not latch directly onto the IC and does not require expansion beforehand (unlike a clip) it can be inserted while the board is active.

Once the Wedge is inserted you can easily complete the connection to your scope. The Wedge connects directly to the 1155A and the 117XA family of low-mass probes and the dual-lead adapter provided with the 116XA passive probe family.

Logic Analyzer/Oscilloscope Time Correlation

• Verify correct logical relationships between analog and digital portions of a design

• Cross-trigger and time-correlate oscilloscope and logic analyzer measurements

• Simultaneously display oscilloscope and logic analyzer waveforms

Some of the toughest measurement test problems involve linking the analog measurements of an oscilloscope and the digital measurements of a logic analyzer. But it’s too time consuming to trigger your oscilloscope from your logic analyzer and manually correlate events.

The Agilent E5850A can bridge both worlds. The Infiniium time markers work with the global markers of an Agilent 16700 Series or 1680/90 logic analysis system to help you track down and isolate hard-to-find problems. With the time-correlation feature, you can trigger the Infiniium oscilloscope from an Agilent logic analyzer (or vice versa), automatically deskew the waveforms, and simultaneously view the Infiniium waveforms and the logic analyzer’s timing waveforms on the analyzer screen. The E5850A is compatible with Agilent 167XX logic analysis systems (with 1655X and/or 167XX analysis modules), 1680/90 logic analyzers and Agilent Infiniium 548XX oscolloscopes.

VoiceControl

• Hands-free scope operation

• Speaker and gender independent

• Uses simple English commands

If you’re making multi-channel measurements on target systems with densely packed ICs, your hands are tied up holding probes, making it difficult to turn knobs and press buttons on the front panel of your oscilloscope.

To solve this problem, Infiniium scopes can be controlled with VoiceControl. Using a collarmounted microphone, which is included, you can control front panel functions with the use of voice controls (English only), allowing hands-free operation of the scope. VoiceControl is both speaker and gender independent and does not require the oscilloscope to be trained.

VoiceControl Functions

• Run, stop, print, autoscale, default setup, clear screen.

• Vertical controls: volts/division, offset, coupling, input impedance, channel on/off.

• Horizontal controls: time/division, delay, delayed sweep.

• Trigger controls: mode, source, slope, sweep, coupling, trigger level.

• Storage controls: save waveforms and screen images.

• Waveform measurements.

• “Undo” and “again” commands to retract or repeat last command.
