The highest-performance
end-to-end measurement
system available
If you are an experienced
scope user, you know that your
measurements are only as good
as your probing system. And
as bandwidth increases, it’s
increasingly important to ask
the question: am I measuring
my circuit or my scope probe?
Nothing is more frustrating than
chasing down an apparent design
problem, only to find that it was
caused by an inferior scope probe.
Together, the newest Agilent
Infiniium scopes and the
breakthrough Agilent InfiniiMax

Key trends in the
electronics market
• Technologies with dramatically
increased clock speeds and
edge rates have emerged.
• Very fast serial differential
buses are being used to save
board space, reduce power and
provide better noise immunity.
• Densely packed circuit boards,
often with stacked daughter
boards, increase the need to
probe in very hard-to-reach
places.
Benefits (continued)
How much bandwidth and sample rate do I need?
Bandwidth required to measure risetime with 3% error Example: 100 ps rise time (20-80%)
Maximum signal frequency content = 0.4/rise time (20-80%) Maximum signal frequency = 4 GHz
Scope bandwidth required = 1.4 x maximum frequency Required scope bandwidth = 5.6 GHz
Minimum scope sample rate required = 2.5 x bandwidth Required scope sample rate = 14 GSa/s
Key benefits of the 54850 and
InfiniiMax Series
• Up to 7 GHz bandwidth can track
even the fastest signal speeds.
• A sample rate of 20 GSa/s on
all four channels can measure
high-speed differential buses
correlated with other signals.
• The innovative InfiniiMax
probing system supports even
the most demanding mechanical
access requirements without
sacrificing performance.

20 GSa/s Sample Rate on All Channels at Once!
• The full real-time bandwidth of
up to 7 GHz is supported on
every channel by the 20 GSa/s
sample rate.
• This industry-leading sample
rate produces more accurate
and repeatable measurements,
avoiding measurement error
and signal aliasing due to under
sampling, as shown above.
• The combination of 7 GHz
bandwidth and 20 GSa/s
sample rate on all channels
makes the 54850 series ideal
for designs that include:
PCI-Express, Serial ATA,
Rapid IO, HyperTransport,
InfiniBand, or Gigabit Ethernet.
20 GSa/s provides accurate measurement.
10 GSa/s is not enough.
5 GSa/s is not enough.
Sample rate Measured rise time
20 GSa/s 89 psec
10 GSa/s 137 psec
5 GSa/s 238 psec
Example for 90 ps rise time input

Application Software
E2690A Timing Interval and Jitter Analysis software
The Agilent E2690A Advanced Time Interval and
Jitter Analysis Software, licensed from Amherst
Systems Associates (ASA); offers the most powerful
and comprehensive set of tools for exploratory
debug of jitter, and it is remarkably easy to use.
The E2692A Basic Time Interval and Jitter Analysis
Software offers the basic tools you need for jitter
debug with the same precision you get with the
advanced version. Both advanced and basic
software versions provide complete jitter
decomposition into its components – including
deterministic, random, and total jitter – as well as
AutoMeasure to provide quick insight.
E2681A EZJIT Jitter analysis software
Includes the following key measurements:
cycle-to-cycle jitter, n-cycle jitter, period jitter,
time interval error, setup and hold time,
measurement histograms, measurement
trending, and jitter frequency spectrum.
N5400A EZJIT Plus Jitter
analysis software
Quickly separate random and deterministic jitter
components and estimate total jitter at low BER for
standards compliance. Automatic clock recovery
and pattern detection, an easy-to-use setup wizard
and graphical display views integrated into the
Infiniium oscilloscope software further simplify
navigation and RJ/DJ analysis.

InfiniiMax: The Worlds Best High-Speed Probing System
InfiniiMax offers you the highest performance
available for measuring differential and
single-ended signals, with flexible connectivity
solutions for today’s high-density ICs and
circuit boards.
Variable spacing via the tab on the side of the
differential browser allows the probe tips to be
adjusted for different circuit geometries from
0.25-5.80 mm (10-230 mills).
Z-axis compliance allows both probe tips of the
differential browser to spring, supporting various
probing angles and target system characteristics.
Differential browser is the best choice for
general-purpose trouble-shooting of differential or
single-ended signals up to 6 GHz bandwidth.
Solder-in differential probe head provides 7 GHz
bandwidth and can be attached to very small
geometry circuits for measuring both single-ended
and differential signals.
The differential socket probe head can be used to
measure either differential or single-ended signals
to 7 GHz bandwidth.
Extremely small single-ended, solder-in probe
heads support 5.2 GHz measurements of even the
hardest-to-reach single-ended signals.
Single-ended browser is the best choice for
general purpose probing of single-ended signals
when small size of the probe head is the primary
consideration. Bandwidths up to 5.5 GHz can be
obtained in this configuration.
Differential SMA probe head provides 7 GHz
bandwidth and allows you to connect two SMA
cables to make a differential measurement on a
single scope channel.
The 54006A 7.5 GHz resistive divider probe is
available as a low-cost probing alternative for
casual inspection of signals.
A flat frequency response over the entire probe
bandwidth eliminates the distortion and
frequency-dependent loading effects that are
present in probes that have an in-band resonance.
Ergonomic sleeves make hand browsing
comfortable even over long periods of time.

InfiniiMax is the world’s best high-speed probe
• InfiniiMax’s bandwidth is greater than the
scope’s bandwidth.
• Each use model (browsing, solder-in, socket) is
optimized for maximum performance.
• Supports both differential and single-ended
measurements with a single probe amplifier.
InfiniiMax probes have fully characterized
performance for all of their various probe heads.
This includes:
• Swept frequency response plot
• Common mode rejection vs. frequency plot
• Impedance vs. frequency plot
• Time-domain probe loading plot
• Time-domain probe tracking plot
See page 16 for an example.
One-year standard warranty on active probes and
a variety of Agilent support options to choose from.
Controlled impedance transmission lines in every
probe head deliver full performance versus the
performance limitations produced by traditional
wire accessories.
Probe interface software allows you to save the
calibration information for up to 10 different probe
heads per channel and will automatically retrieve
calibration data for a probe amplifier as it is
attached to the scope.
Supplied axial lead resistors, when trimmed to the
appropriate length, allow user to trade off bandwidth
and reach. Values and trimming templates are supplied
for measurements from 2.8 GHz to 7 GHz.
The damped-wire accessory provides maximum
connection reach and flexibility without introducing an
in-band resonance for signals up to 1.2 GHz bandwidth.
High-input impedance active probes minimize
loading, support differential measurements and DC
offset, and can compensate for cable loss.
