About this Document

To assist you in choosing the best
state/timing probing solution for
your particular target, this docu­ment will consider the following:

• Chip packaging, test ports

• Special physical and electrical
considerations

• Other accessories and options

Other Reference Documents

For information on probes and
accessories for the other related
Agilent Technologies logic
analysis system products listed
below, please refer to “Related
Information” in this document:

• Pattern generators

• Emulators

• Oscilloscopes

2

• Impedance

High input impedance
ensures minimum intrusion on
your circuit. Although many
probes might be acceptable for
lower frequencies, capacitive
loading becomes significant at
higher frequencies. The
Agilent Technologies probing
products perform over a wide
frequency spectrum.

• Ruggedness

Probes with quality
mechanical design provide
solid electrical connections.
Intermittent open circuits
would only add one more
variable to your debugging
equation. Agilent probes
are mechanically designed
to relieve strain and ensure
rugged, reliable connection.

• Immunity to Noise

Electromagnetic noise can
corrupt data captured by
the logic analyzer. Agilent
probing solutions are
designed for a high immunity
to transient noise.

• Performance

Agilent logic analyzers have
front-end circuitry that
supports the state and
timing specifications of
the analyzer. This circuitry,
together with the Agilent
probing solutions described in
this document, will accurately
capture the target signals at
the specified clock rates.

Reliable Connections Ensure Accuracy

Signal Frequency Content Drives Probing Solutions

Faster clock rates demand tighter timing tolerances, such as setup
and hold specifications. Systems with faster clock rates usually
have shorter rise and fall times. Signals with shorter transition
times have more high frequency content and are more susceptible
to high frequency analog problems such as cross talk, reflections,
ground bounce, noise and emissions. Susceptibility of a system to
analog problems relates to the transition times of the signals, not
the clock rate. A system with slow transition times cannot have
high clock rates. However, it is possible for a system with slower
clock rates to have signals with very fast transition times.

General-purpose probing solutions provide the analog bandwidth
required to run each logic analyzer module at its maximum clock
rate. The high input impedance of these probes, especially at high
frequencies, presents a minimal load to most systems. Systems
that are operating with little margin should be designed with
consideration for both the system components and the input
impedance of the probing solution being used during debug.
Input impedance specifications or equivalent load diagrams
can be found for each of the probing solutions described in
this document.

For measurements at state speeds above 400 Mbits/second, and
for differential signals, Agilent has developed a new connectorless
probing system that is used with the Agilent 16753A, 16754A,
16755A, 16756A, and 16760A logic analyzer measurement
modules. This probing system features capacitive loading
of only 0.7 pF. Refer to pages 32-33 for information on this
probing system.

Other Considerations

Physical connection compatibility
between various Agilent probes
may allow you to mix and
match a variety of probes and
accessories. However, a probe
accessory designed for slower
clock speeds will not deliver
high-speed target performance
simply because it is used with a
higher speed analyzer module.
Also, the serial connection of
multiple probe leads and/or
accessories will degrade
signal integrity.

Agilent logic analyzers have
two methods of connection to
the probes. One uses a 3M-style
connector with 2 rows of 20
pins on 0.1-inch centers, as
illustrated in figure 1. Probes
for these analyzers are identified
in this document as “for analyzers
with 40-pin pod connectors.”

The other style uses a 90-pin,
high-density connector, as
illustrated in figure 2. Probes for
these analyzers are identified in
this document as “for analyzers
with 90-pin pod connectors.”

Currently available Agilent logic analyzers in these two groups are as follows:

General-Purpose Probing

For All Agilent Logic Analyzers with 40-pin Pod Connectors

When maximum signal fidelity is
required or only a few lines may
need to be probed, the 16-channel
lead sets shipped with the Agilent
logic analysis systems can
provide a quick and convenient
method for probing.

Logic Analysis
General-Purpose Probes

General-purpose probing requires
connecting probe leads to
individual signal lines. This
method is most convenient for a
small to moderate number of
signals, very flexible, and can be
used in conjunction with other
probing methods.

Note: Any probed signal line
must be able to supply a minimum
of 600 mV to the probe with the
specified loading.

The Standard Probing System

The standard probing system
consists of IC clips, probe leads,
probe housing and probe cable.
Because it is passive, the stan­dard probing system is smaller,
lighter, and much easier to use
than active probing systems. This
passive probing system is similar
to a probing system used on a
high frequency oscilloscope. It
consists of an isolation network
(as shown in figure 3) at the
probe tip and a shielded resistive
transmission line. The advantages
of this system are:

• High input impedance. See
figure 3.

• Signal ground at the probe tip
for high-speed signals.

• Inexpensive, removable probe
tip assemblies.

Probe Leads and Lead Sets

Probe leads are configured into
lead sets, which can probe 16
data channels with ground, one
clock channel, and a common
ground. A 16-channel probe lead
set (part number 01650-61608) is
shown in figure 4, along with the
replacement part numbers for
individual components in figure 5.

Each probe lead is a 12-inch,
twisted-pair cable connected to
the probe cable at the probe hous­ing (see figure 5). The probe tip
includes a signal lead, a connec­tor for a ground lead, and the
isolation network.

The signal and ground leads can
be connected directly to the tar­get system. This requires
installing 0.63 mm (0.025 in)
square pins, or round pins with
a diameter of between 0.66 mm
(0.026 in) and 0.84 mm (0.033 in)
directly on the board. An IC test
clip can also be used. The same
specifications apply for the pin
dimensions of the test clip.
(See figure 8 for IC test clips
available from Agilent.)

IC Clips

The through-hole IC clips (part
number 5959-0288, containing
20 IC clips) have a single hook
that fits around IC pins and com­ponent leads. The surface-mount
device IC clip with twin hooks
(part number 5090-4833, contain­ing 20 IC clips) is designed for
fine surface-mounted component
leads. The twin hook 0.5 mm IC
clip (part number 10467-68701,
containing four 0.5 mm IC clips),
is very useful for 0.5 mm pitch
components. See figure 7.

The E2421A kit contains one
each: 8-pin, 14-pin, 16-pin, 20-pin,
24-pin, and 28-pin SOIC test clips.
See figure 8.

The E2422A kit contains one
each: 20-pin, 28-pin, 44-pin,
52-pin, 66-pin, and 84-pin QUAD
IC test adapters. See figure 8.

Grounding

There are three methods of
grounding the probe system.
First, the entire probe lead set
can be grounded through the
common ground. This requires
only one connection, but is not
recommended because it will
cause poor signal fidelity in
systems with fast transition
times. The recommended method
is to individually ground each
probe lead. This yields optimal
signal fidelity and is required for
signals with faster transition
times (< 4 - 5 ns).

For moderate rise times (greater
than 2 ns), it may be acceptable
to ground every other (or every
fourth) ground connection to
the target.

Signal Line Loading

Any probed signal line must be
able to supply a minimum of
600 mV to the probe tip while the
probe is connected to the system.
The maximum input voltage of
each probe is ±40 volts peak.

Probe Cables

The probe cable (see figure 9 and
table 1) contains 16 signal lines
and two clk lines, two +5 volt
power lines, and ground lines for
each of the signal/clock and
power lines. All of these lines are
contained in a 4.5-foot cable. The
probe cable is included with the
logic analyzer. The cable grounds
are chassis (earth) grounds, not
“floating” grounds. The two
+5 volt power lines can be used
to power active probing systems.
Consult the specifications for the
individual logic analyzers or logic
analyzer cards for the maximum
allowable current through each
+5 volt power supply.

Caution: These +5 volt power
lines MUST NOT be connected to
the target’s power supply.

Caution: Be careful when using
straight wire probe leads, one
common ground, or RC networks
located far from the target.
These circumstances increase
the impact of analog effects
such as crosstalk and EMT
susceptibility, which contribute
to measurement errors.

Wedge Adapters

The Agilent Technologies Wedge
technology provides very reliable
probing of a few channels on

0.5 mm and 0.65 mm pitch QFPs.
No clear area is required around
the device. Each Wedge of the
probe slides between the legs of
the QFP. The side of each Wedge
probe contacts the package legs.
An insulation core electrically
isolates the sides of each Wedge
(see figures 10 and 11). Various
3-signal, 8-signal, and 16-signal
probes are available (see table 2).

Table 3. Elastomeric probe adapters

If your target contains ASICs,
FPGAs, or other devices in an
industry-standard QFP configura­tion, Agilent Technologies has a
series of elastomeric probes from
which you can choose. Agilent’s
state-of-the-art elastomeric
probing technology offers an
inexpensive, convenient, and
reliable solution for 0.5 mm
and 0.65 mm high-density
TQFP/CQFP/PQFP packages.

The elastomer material on the
probe makes contact between the
probe and the pins of a device.
Embedded on the surface of the
elastomer are redundant connec­tions for each pin, which ensure a
reliable and rugged connection.

A locator tool, included with the
probe adapter, correctly aligns
the retainer to the device. A
small amount of adhesive on the
bottom of the retainer holds the
retainer firmly to the device.
After the adhesive is set, the loca­tor tool can be removed. The
elastomeric probe adapter then
attaches to the device, held in
place by the retainer and its
knurled nut. Five retainers, a
locator tool, and adhesive are
included with each elastomeric
probe adapter.

Additional Accessories

Quarter flex adapters, shown in
figure 15, are available to bring
the signals from the elastomeric
probe adapter to general-purpose
headers for easy connection to
logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, or
other test equipment. Four 1/4
flex adapters are required to view
all signals on a device. Each 1/4
flex adapter provides connections

QFP Package Probing

Electrical characteristics for this
probing technology are listed in
table 4.

Note: The Agilent logic analyzer
probes are connected to the
adapters shown in this section.
The target system impedance load
is increased slightly (see table 4).
Fast transition times (< 2 - 3 ns)
may suffer some loss of signal
fidelity.

The probe adapters require a
minimal “keep out” area around
the device, as shown in the
dimension tables of figures 16
and 17.

Designing and Probing with Target Connections

Normal-Density, Medium-Performance Applications

In some cases, you may not have
a standard QFP package on the
target available for probing
access, or your device may be
available only in BGA packaging.

Agilent recommends that targets
with probing constraints have
connectors designed into the
prototype versions of the product
for effective hardware and soft­ware debug. The following should
be considered when designing
with connectors:

• Select the appropriate connec­tor technology for your target
speed and target density.

• Carefully select all lines for
routing to the connectors that
may be needed for debug.

• Group the lines at each
connector for your probing
convenience. For example,
Agilent may have written an
inverse assembler for your
device that has a preconfig­ured signal order. Before
designing, refer to the docu­mentation for this inverse
assembler for essential signal
lines and order.

• Keep the routing to connectors
as short as possible to mini­mize target impact and provide
accurate data.

• Examine the impact of probing
isolation networks designed
into the target vs. the isolation
network products offered by
Agilent Technologies.

An isolation network must be
located between the target and
the logic analyzer. It can be
located on the target board in
through-hole or SMT parts; or
it can be attached to the logic
analyzer cable with the probe
leads (the isolation network is
molded into the end of the probe);
or the Agilent 01650-63203 isola­tion adapter with self contained
isolation networks can be used.
Probe leads can be used with
connectors but are not the most
convenient method. Direct con­nection of the connectors with
the analyzer cable (isolation net­work parts on the target) or with
a probe or isolation adapter is the
faster, more convenient method.

Low Density, Moderate Performance

Solutions shown in the
“High-Density, High-Performance”
(page 23) section of this docu­ment can be used in place of the
solutions described here. Agilent
recommends standard 0.1 inch
center connectors for normal
density applications if the load­ing/speed is not a significant
issue. Many of these items are
available from 3M or Agilent
(see table 5). See the “Related
Information” section at the
end of this document for 3M
address information.

Direct Connection through
Isolation Adapter

Isolation adapters (Agilent part
number 01650-63203) that con­nect to the end of the probe cable
are designed to perform two func­tions. The first is to reduce the
number of pins required for the
header on the target board from
40 pins to 20 pins. This process
reduces the board area dedicated
to the probing connection. The
second function is to provide the
proper RC networks in a very
convenient package. Figure 18
illustrates how the isolation
adapter physically connects to
the target system and the equiva­lent load of the isolation adapter
connected to an Agilent
Technologies logic analyzer.
Figures 19 and 20 show the
pinout diagrams for the probe
cable and the isolation adapter,
respectively. There are two
20-pin connectors, along with
their Agilent Technologies and
3M part numbers, listed in table 5.

Note: The Agilent 01650-63203
saves space by using a common
ground (see figure 20). This will
impact signal fidelity, especially
faster transition times (< 4 - 5 ns).

Direct Connection through 40-Pin
Connectors

The probe cable also can be
plugged directly into the various
40-pin connectors shown in table
6, but proper isolation networks
must be installed directly onto
the target system board (see
figure 21 for the 40-pin connector
pinout).

Agilent Technologies offers a
12-pin SMT (Agilent part number
5062-7396), which provides six
isolation networks, as shown in
figure 22. Three of these SMTs
are required for each probe cable.

Discrete components can also be
used for the proper isolation
network. See figure 24 for an
equivalent load diagram for the
isolation networks.

Note that the effective input
capacitive lead of an isolation
network using discrete compo­nents is a function of the layout
geometry and the parasitic
capacitance of the input series
damping resistor.

Notes on Using Discrete Components

Discrete components can be used
to design the isolation network.
Agilent Technologies recommends
the circuit shown in figure 24.
To achieve the equivalent load
shown in the figure, trace lengths
should be minimized by locating
the RC network very near the
measured node. Actual load will
be the stub length load added to
the equivalent load in the figure.
Trace length from the suggested
on-board RC network to the
target connector must be 3 to
4 inches or less. This transmis­sion line should be designed for
an impedance in the range of 80
to 100 ohms (closer to 100 ohms
is better).

High Density, High Performance

Agilent Technologies has
developed high-density probing
solutions based on the 100-pin
Samtec and AMP Mictor 38-pin
connectors. The Agilent probes
and adapter cables, E5346A,
E5339A, E5351A, and E5385A
provide a connection strategy to
route your important signals to
the Agilent logic analyzer. Simply
design the connectors onto the

board for the critical signals such
as address, data, and status bits.
The connectors consume a
minimal amount of board space.
Each connector provides 32
channels of logic analysis per
connector with two clocks.
Connectors can be purchased
directly from AMP, Samtec, or
Agilent Technologies. See the
“Related Information” at the end
of this document.

Agilent Technologies
E5346A, E5339A, and E5385A Probes

The E5346A, E5339A, and
E5385A probes include the
required isolation networks for
the logic analyzer right at the
probe tip, close to the target.
The E5346A and E5385A are
designed to acquire signals with
peak-to-peak amplitude as low as
500 mV. The E5339A is designed
to acquire signals as small as
250 mV peak-to-peak. Figure 27
shows the equivalent load for the
E5339A, and figure 28 shows the
equivalent load for the E5346A.
Figure 29 shows the equivalent
load for the E5385A.

To use the E5346A, E5339A, or
E5385A at high clock speeds, the
following design guidelines
should be observed:

• Calculate the electrical length
of the probe hookup stub.

• For PC board material with
E

r

=4.9, use a propagation delay

of 160 ps/inch.

• Check that the propagation
delay of the probe hookup stub
is less than 20% of the bus sig­nal risetime (T

r

). If it is, the
E5346A, E5339A, or E5385A
can be used for connection.

For example, if Er=4.9, a 2.5 inch
probe hookup stub generates a
propagation delay of 400 ps.
If T

r

is > 2 ns, the E5346A,
E5339A, or E5385A is a viable
probing choice.

The E5346A and E5339A use the
AMP Mictor 38-pin connector.
The E5385A uses a 100-pin
connector manufactured by
Samtec. Agilent recommends the
E5385A for new applications, due
to the reduced input capacitive
loading and improved isolation
between adjacent channels.

38-Pin Adapter Cable

If the calculated electrical
length of the required routing
stub prohibits the use of the
Agilent E5339A, E5346A, or
E5385A, the Agilent E5351A
can be used with the required
isolation networks installed on
the target.

The E5351A does not have its
own internal isolation networks.
When using the E5351A, place
the SIP isolation networks,
surface mount isolation network
5062-7396, or equivalent discrete
components very near the target
component for measurement.

Ensure that the stub length
between the target component
and the isolation network is
short. The stub propagation
delay should be less than 20%
of the bus signal rise time, as
mentioned before. The transmis­sion line from the on-board
isolation network to the Mictor
connector should be designed for
an impedance in the range of 80
to 100 ohms (closer to 100 ohms
is better). This length should not
exceed 3 to 4 inches, and all
signal line lengths should be
equal. Signal line length variation
should not cause propagation
delay variation to exceed 20 ps
between signal lines.

Agilent Technologies recommends

network very near the measured
node. Actual load will be the stub
length load added to the equiva­lent load in the figure.

Options for On-Board Terminations
for the E5351A

There are two options for
isolating the E5351A on the
target PC board:

• Use the surface mount isola­tion network, Agilent part
number 5062-7396. Refer
to figure 35 for schematic
and pinout.

• Use discrete components.
Refer to figure 34 for recom­mended components and
equivalent load.

If you are operating at state
speeds above 200 MHz, you
should use discrete components
for best results. Due to the added
electrical length of the E5351A
probe cable, the divider compen­sating capacitors in the SIP, and
surface-mount isolation networks
are not optimum for the E5351A,
but they are usable up to 200 MHz
clock rates.

Notes on Using the 5062-7396
SMT Part

Agilent currently recommends a
two-step process in soldering the
SMT part to the board. The first
pass places solder paste on those
pads with vias. Application of
heat allows the via to fill with
solder. (If only one solder step is
used, the solder wicks away from
the part into the via and a solid
connection will not be made with
the part.) The next pass places
solder paste on all of the pads.

As shown in figure 35, the
5062-7396 SMT isolation network
supports six logic analysis
channels. The size of the part
allows you to repeat the pattern
in figure 35 to accommodate mul­tiple parts stacked end-to-end for
the number of channels needed in
your application. Three of these
SMTs are required for each probe

discrete components to terminate the E5351A

Note 1: The effective input capacitance for on-board isolation networks is purely a function of geometry -

0.3 pF is about as low as can be achieved.
Note 2: The equivalent load is the same when using the surface-mount isolation network, 5062-7396.

ceramic hybrid isolation network
is similar to the process for an

part size, thermal expansion
mismatch during solder reflow
should not be a problem.
Capacitance also remains stable

For All Agilent Logic Analyzers with 40-pin Pod Connectors

Support Shrouds

A support shroud is recom­mended to provide additional
strain relief between the probe
and the connector, as shown in
figures 30 and 32. Two plated
through-holes are required on the
target board. The shroud is
mounted directly to the target
board using the through-holes.
This places the shroud around
the connector, providing solid
mechanical strain relief.
Connector kits are available;
table 8 shows the Agilent part
numbers for shrouds and
connector kits for various PC
board thicknesses.

Right-Angle Mictor Adapter

For systems with space
constraints above the 38-pin
connector, Agilent Technologies
offers a right-angle adapter, as
shown in figure 38. With the
E5346-63201 right-angle adapter
inserted in the 38-pin connector,
the adapter cable is connected
parallel to the target board
surface. When using the
right-angle adapters, the 38-pin
connectors must be placed
end-to-end on the target board,
as shown in figure 39. Support
shrouds cannot be used with the
right-angle adapter.

Figure 39. 38-pin connectors placed for use of right-angle adapter

state speeds above 100 MHz or for
signals with rise times < 4 - 5 ns.

processes used to fabricate the
board. No special cleaning
processes are required when
using Agilent’s soft-touch probes.

Refer to figures 40 through 43
on pages 32 and 33 for
dimensional drawings, board
contact dimensions, and load
models for soft touch probes.

Ground connector

It is essential to ground every tip
that is in use. For best perform­ance at high speeds, every tip
should be grounded individually
to ground in the system under
test. For convenience in connect­ing grounds, you can use the
ground connector, Agilent part

up to four probe tip grounds to
connect to one ground point in
the system under test.
