HFP SERIES ACTIVE PROBES
1 GHz to 2.5 GHz
Probing Solutions
HFP Series Active Probes
Engineers often find the need
to probe a variety of different
devices and test points in
their designs. In order to do
this, today’s probes need to
be versatile, small, and
lightweight while maintaining
the necessary bandwidth to
capture high-speed signals. As
probing points get smaller and
closer together, LeCroy’s HFP
Series of active probes provide
the ability to meet all of your
difficult probing challenges.
Unique Probe Tips
Since different situations call for
probing at different points, the
HFP Series includes 5 different
types of probe tips. The Straight Tip
is ideal for general purpose browsing,
and the Sharp Tip or Bent Sharp Tip
can be used for easy access to tightly
spaced test points or circuit vias. Use
the Discrete SMD Tip for probing on
surface mount capacitors, resistors,
or other components. The IC Lead Tip
enables probing on small geometry
IC legs and is insulated to prevent
any shorting between the test points.
In addition to these unique probe
tips, traditional IC clips and flexible
wire leads are also included.
Hands free probing.
Convenient Grounding
Accessories
Just as important as getting access
to critical test points is the ability
to easily ground the probe. It is ideal
to keep the ground loop as small
as possible to eliminate any ground
effects on the signal. The HFP Series
includes several grounding accessories
to simplify the process. Wedge the
flexible IC Ground Blade between
two legs of an IC for a solid ground
contact without risking a short. Use
the Bendable Pogo Ground to probe
a test point and ground that are
extremely close together, as with a
BGA. The Ground Spring can be used
to easily connect to a square pin that
is next to the test point.
Easy-To-Use
In many cases it is important to
have up to 4 probes connected to
tightly packed test points in your
circuit. For this, take advantage
of the unique FreeHand probe holder,
which allows you to set up all the
probes once, and keeps your hands
free to make measurements on the
oscilloscope. Easily identify which
probe is for which channel by looking
at the patented AutoColor ID feature.
All probes light up with an LED
color matched to the channel it is
being used on.

Unique Probing Accessories
Use the Discrete SMD Tip for a tight fit on surface mount
capacitors, resistors, or other components.
Use the insulated IC Lead Tip with IC Ground Blade to probe
small-geometry IC legs without shorting any test points.
Use the Bendable Pogo Ground with the Straight or
Sharp Tip to probe signal and ground points that are
extremely close together.
Use the Discrete SMD Tip with the Ground Spring to probe
square pins.
Use the Solder-In Ground lead with any probe tip to make a
good ground connection and browse with the HFP.
Use the Bent Sharp Tip to probe a test point in a tight
space or where the probe cannot be oriented perpendicular
to the circuit.
