Introduction

The DXC100A is a high-performance, matched, passive differential probe pair
designed for use with the Teledyne LeCroy DA1855A Differential Amplifiers. The
probe pair consists of two well-matched individual probes sharing a common
compensation box allowing the attenuation factor on both probes to be
simultaneously switched between 10X and 100X. When used with a Teledyne
LeCroy DA1885A Differential Amplifier, the probe’s attenuation factor is
automatically incorporated into the effective gain display and the decimal
properly located in the Precision Voltage Generator (PVG) display.

Although primarily designed for use with Teledyne LeCroy amplifiers, the
DXC100A can be used with any oscilloscope or plug-in unit with an input
impedance of 1 MΩ/15-26pF and one inch (25.4 mm) spacing between
connectors.

A Word about Differential Amplifiers and Probes

When using a differential amplifier it is very important to understand the role
probes play in the overall measurement system performance. Probes not only
make attachment to the circuit under test more convenient, 10X and 100X
attenuating probes also extend the common mode range of the differential
amplifier. For example, the DA1855A amplifier has a common mode range of ±

15.5 volts when the internal attenuators are set to ÷1 and 155 volts when set to
÷10. The addition of a probe with an attenuation factor of ten extends the
common mode range to 1550 volts or the rating of the probe, whichever is less.

However there is a trade-off in that the Common Mode Rejection Ration (CMRR)
capability of even highly matched differential probe pairs seldom matches that
of the amplifier. In order to preserve the amplifier’s performance at the probe
tips, it is important to use probes designed for differential performance.
Attempting to use normal 10X or 100X attenuating oscilloscope probes, even
high quality probes, results in very poor CMRR performance. Nominally
matching X1 probes, however, provide excellent common mode rejection and
are recommended.

When making differential measurements, probe compensation is just as
important as it is for single-ended measurements. While probe compensation is
important, how well the probes are matched is essential. Most probes depend

on the accuracy of the oscilloscope’s 1 MΩ input resistor to determine the
accuracy of the probe’s attenuation factor. Two probes with a 1% accuracy

specification can yield a CMRR as low as 50 to 1 at DC while the amplifier CMRR
may be higher than 100,000 to 1. At high frequencies, the CMRR is worse.

A differential probe pair must allow for matching at DC as well as over their
useful frequency range. Changing the compensation of a differentially matched
probe set without following the proper compensation procedure can result in a
significant decrease in the CMRR capability of any differential probe pair.

It is considered good practice to compensate a probe pair for a given amplifier
and then keep the probe pair and amplifier together as a system. Similarly, it is

important that once a probe is compensated for a given amplifier, the respective
probe always is used on the same input (meaning, one probe always used on the
+INPUT and the other always on the –INPUT).

922259-00 Rev A 5

Probe Grounding

The DXC100A Probe Pair is supplied with accessories allowing for three probe
ground connection methods.

In most cases, when the common mode portion of the signal consists mainly of
low frequencies (1 MHz and below), the probe ground leads should not be
connected to the ground of the circuit under test. Instead, they should be
connected to each other to minimize the effects of ground loop currents. The
signal corruption caused by not having the probes connected to the ground of
the circuit under test is common to both inputs and rejected by the differential
amplifier.

However, when working in an environment with high RF ambient noise, it is best
to connect the probe ground leads to a good RF ground near the point where
the signal is being measured.

The best way to determine which probe grounding technique should be used is
to try both methods and use the one that provides the least corruption of the
differential signal. Probe tip to BNC adapters are required when adjusting the
compensation and probe CMRR as they provide the best performance of the
three grounding methods.

Short Calibration Procedure

There are two situations where the Short Calibration Procedure is appropriate:

 When the probe calibration status is unknown or it has been a long time

since the probe has been calibrated. A small difference between the two
probes can result in a significant CMRR loss, even though the error may

be so small that it’s irrelevant to transient response. This makes it rather

important to occasionally check the CMRR performance of the probes.
This can be done by performing Part 1 and adjusting as needed.

 When critical measurements are required. We recommend checking the

DXC100A CMRR by performing at least Part 1 of the short procedure.
When very high slew rate signals (>1V/ns) are encountered,
performance can be enhanced over that of a full calibration procedure
done with commonly available pulse generators. Notice that the Short
Calibration Procedure is the last step in the Full Calibration Procedure.

DXC100A Differential Probe Pair

6 922259-00 Rev A

Once you are accustomed to making these adjustments, they become quick and
easy. Part 2 can be attempted when high slew rates (>1V/ns) are encountered,
and/or when high frequency (time constraints less than 20ns and frequencies
greater than 1MHz) CMRR is especially important.

Note: Do not change any of the adjustments associated with the +INPUT. Doing
so requires checking the changed adjustment, and perhaps doing the entire Full
Calibration Procedure.

Refer to Figure 1, The DXC100A Board Layout for the location of adjustments,
and to the schematic diagram in Figure 2, The DXC100A Schematic for guidance.
Both figures can be found at the end of this manual.

Part 1

1. Set the oscilloscope sweep speed to 10μs/div. Connect both probe tips

to the same point in the circuit where a measurement is to be made,
and set the DA1855A GAIN, ATTENUATOR and INPUT COUPLING controls
to the same settings to be used in the measurement. Be sure the signal
used does not exceed the maximum common mode voltage allowed
(e.g., 155 volts with 10X and DA1855A ATTENUATOR set to X1).

2. Set the DXC100A to 10X. Adjust C8 (-X10 LF) so as to minimize the total

deflection.

3. Set the DXC100A to 100X. Adjust C18 (-X100 LF1) so as to minimize the

total deflection.

Part 2

4. Set the oscilloscope sweep speed to 20ns/div. Now, set the DXC100A

ATTENUATION to X10. Adjust R2 (-X10 HF1) and R8 (-X10 HF2) so as to
minimize the total deflection.

5. Set the DX100A ATTENUATION to 100X. Adjust R18 (-X100 HF1) so as to

minimize the total deflection.

Full Calibration Procedure

If the probe pair has been repaired or is to be used on a DA1855A other than the
one it was originally calibrated with, the probe pair should be calibrated using
the following Full Calibration Procedure. The last step is to perform the Short
Calibration Procedure as needed for high slew rate signals.

1. DA1855A and Oscilloscope Setup

Follow the sequence shown in the previous Short Calibration Procedure topic to
set up the DA1855A amplifier with your oscilloscope.

a. Remove the probe’s bottom cover and attach the probe to the

DA1855A.

b. Turn the entire DA1855A and probe to gain access to the adjustments.

NOTE: Do not attach the probe upside down and then reverse the
probes after they are compensated. Reversing the probes after they
have been compensated results in degradation of CMRR performance.

c. Set the probes to X10 attenuation.
d. Initialize the DA1855A to its power-up reset state by turning its power

off and then back on.

At this point, the DA1855A is in the following state:

e. Press the ÷1 Attenuator button on the DA1855A. The ÷1 Attenuator light

is now on.

f. Check that the DA1855A Effective Gain indicators change when the

probe is switched from 10X to 100X.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THIS STEP:

 The DXC100A provides probe attenuation factor information to the

DA1855A through an 11” black wire which should be plugged into the

DA1855A Probe Coding Input jack on the DA1855A rear panel. If the

Operator’s Manual

922259-00 Rev A 9

DA1855A has no probe coding input, and the wire is not used. Skip to
Step 2.

 It is important to use the right hardware to connect the probes to the

test signals. In all cases, the BNC to probe tip adapters are helpful. For
the high frequency adjustments, they are required. CMRR (common
mode rejection ratio) adjustments should be done with both probes
connected to a BNC T (two female BNC and one male BNC connected
together without any matching resistors).

 With the DXC100A connected, let 20 minutes pass to allow the DA1855A

to warm up before performing the calibration procedure.

2. +Input X10 DC Attenuation

a. Set the probe to the 10X position.
b. Connect both probes to the BNC T, the BNC T and the DVM to the dc

voltage source.

c. Set the voltage source to 150 volts.
d. Press the VComp button. Measure the dc source with DVM and note the

actual voltage (e.g. 149.821 volts).

e. Set the Precision Voltage Generator to equal the noted voltage (e.g.

149.821 volts)1

f. Set the oscilloscope to 10mV/div. Press the +Input DC button.
g. Set the BW Limit to 20MHz. Press the X10 Gain Button (to invoke

AUTOBALANCE).

h. Adjust R5 (+X10 DC) to bring the DA1855A output to center screen (0

volts) on the oscilloscope. A 1 division error is equivalent to 10mV out of
150 volts, or 0.0067%, or 67 ppm.

3. X10 DC CMRR

a. Continuing from the previous step, press the –Input DC button.

1 When a large voltage is not available, or when extra precision is desired, monitor the PVG output on the DA1855A rear panel and set

the PVG to exactly one tenth the voltage applied to the probe. As little as 32 volts may be used to calibrate the +probe using this

method. For CMRR, 32 volts is inadequate and a 50 or 60Hz signal of 30 to 90 Vrms is recommended.

DXC100A Differential Probe Pair

10 922259-00 Rev A

b. Adjust R6 (-X10 DC) to bring the DA1855A output to center screen (0

volts) on the oscilloscope. This is a very critical adjustment, and it is
desirable to disconnect both probes from the source simultaneously (by
removing the BNC T) and observe that the trace stays within 0.25 div
(60,000:1 CMRR) between the two conditions.

4. +Input X100 DC Attenuation

a. Continuing from the previous step, set the probe to the 100X position.
b. Set the voltage source to 300 volts.
c. Press the VComp button. Measure DC source with DVM and note the

actual voltage (e.g. 302,617).

d. Set the Precision Voltage Generator to equal the noted voltage (see

footnote).

e. Set the oscilloscope to 10mV/div and 10μs/div.
f. Press the +Input DC button.
g. Press the X10 Gain button (to invoke AUTOBALANCE).
h. Adjust R23 (+X100 DC) to bring the DA1855A output to center screen (0

volts) on the oscilloscope. A 1 division error is equivalent to 100Mv out
of 300 V, or 0.03%, OR 330 ppm.

5. X100 DC CMRR

a. Continuing from the previous step, press the –Input DC button.
b. Set the oscilloscope to 2mV/div.
c. Press X10 Gain to invoke AUTOBALANCE.
d. Adjust R24 (-X100 DC) to bring the DA1855A output to center screen (0

volts) on the oscilloscope. This is a very critical adjustment, and it is
desirable to disconnect both probes from the source simultaneously and
observe that the trace stays within 0.5 div between the two conditions.

0.5 divisions is equivalent to a CMRR of 30,000:1 (300V/10mV).

e. Press the +Input Off button.
f. Press the –Input Off button.
g. Disconnect both probes and the DVM from the voltage source.

Operator’s Manual

922259-00 Rev A 11

6. +Input X10 LF Compensation

NOTE: Low frequency compensation of the DXC100A probe attached to the
+Input is done by observing a small portion of the large amplitude step. With
this magnification, the waveform shows considerable deviation from flat. What

is important is that the front (1μs) and rear (about 10ms) of the waveform are at

the same level.

a. Set the probe to the 10X position.
b. Set the oscilloscope to 10mV/div and 10μs/div.
c. Terminate the pulse generator’s high amplitude output in 50 or

(preferable) 75 Ohms, producing approximately a 5 to 8 volt step.

d. Connect the +probe to the pulse generator’s high amplitude output

using the probe tip to BNC adaptor.

e. Press the X10 Gain button (to invoke AUTOBALANCE).
f. Press the +Input DC button.
g. Connect the pulse generator’s trigger output to the oscilloscope’s

external trigger input and then trigger the oscilloscope on its external
trigger input.

h. Adjust C7 (+X10LF) so the amplitude at the front of the waveform (1μs)

matches the amplitude at the rear of the waveform (10ms using
1ms/div).

7. X10 LF CMRR

a. Continue from the previous step, (using BW Limit set to 20MHz, and the

oscilloscope set to 10mV/div and 10μs/div) connect the +probe and –
probe to the pulse generator output.

b. Press the –Input DC button.
c. Adjust C8 (-X10 LF) capacitor for a minimum amplitude display. The

residual displayed amplitude should be less than 5mV peak (10mV p-p at
slower sweep speeds where the entire waveform is visible). Ignore the
first 1μs after the step (this is adjusted later).

DXC100A Differential Probe Pair

12 922259-00 Rev A

8. +Input X10 HF Transient Response

a. Press the –Input Off button.
b. Set the BW Limit to Full.
c. Press the X1 Gain button.
d. Set the oscilloscope to 20mV/div.
e. Connect the +probe to the pulse generator’s fast rise output using a 50

Ohm termination and the BNC to probe tip adaptor.

f. Press the VDiff button to enable VDiff mode.
g. Position the trace 2½ divisions above the centerline using the PVG (-

00.500).

h. Press the +Input DC button.
i. Set the oscilloscope sweep speed to 10ns/div.
j. Adjust pulse generator for 5 divisions of a 100kHz signal.
k. Adjust R1 (+X10 HF1) and R7 (+X10 HF2) for minimum aberrations at the

top of the waveform and a system rise time of less than 3.5ns.

9. X10 HF CMRR

a. Continuing from the previous step, disconnect the probe from the pulse

generator.

b. Connect both probes to the pulse generator’s fast rise output using a 50

Ohm termination, the BNC T, and two probe tip to BNC adapters.

c. Disable VDiff mode by pressing the VDiff button.
d. Set the oscilloscope to 5mV/div.
e. Press the –Input DC button.
f. Adjust R2 (-X10 HF1) and R8 (-X10 HF2) for minimum displayed signal.

The residual displayed amplitude should be less than 15mV (3.0
divisions) peak to peak.

Operator’s Manual

922259-00 Rev A 13

10. +Input X100 LF Compensation

NOTE: Low frequency compensation of the DXC100A probe attached to the
+Input is done by observing a small portion of a large amplitude step. For the
100X probe attenuation, the oscilloscope transient response plays an important
part in determining the correct LF compensation adjustment. The oscilloscope
response should be measured at this point and recorded as a reference
waveform.

The oscilloscope’s transient response error may be determined by connecting

the oscilloscope to a known flat pulse generator (i.e., Tektronix PG506 fast rise
output). Since the DA1855A produces a maximum output of 0.5 volts, apply a
waveform that is stepped from -0.5 volts to 0 volts to the oscilloscope.
Oscilloscope response is recorded at 10mV/div, 10μs/div. The correct
adjustment of the DA1855A produces a waveform most like the recorded
reference waveform, and not necessarily the flattest waveform.

Digital oscilloscopes record and store waveforms nicely. Some users of analog
oscilloscopes mark waveforms on the CRT face using a grease pencil.

a. Set the oscilloscope to 10μs/div and 10mV/div.
b. Press the –Input DC Off button.
c. Set the probe to the 100X position.
d. Connect the +probe to the high amplitude output of the pulse generator

using a 50 Ohm or (preferably) 75 Ohm termination and the BNC to
probe tip adaptor.

e. Press the X10 Gain button.
f. Set the pulse generator amplitude to maximums (5-8V peak).
g. Set the BW Limit to 20 MHz.
h. Adjust C17 (+X100 LF1) and C11 (+X100 LF2) for a response that matches

the oscilloscope response noted earlier. Ignoring any DC offset, the
recorded waveform and this displayed trace should match within 0.1 div.

DXC100A Differential Probe Pair

14 922259-00 Rev A

11. X100 LF CMRR

a. Continuing from the previous step, disconnect the probe from the pulse

generator.

b. Connect both probes to the pulse generator’s high amplitude output

using a 50 Ohm or (preferably) 75 Ohm termination, the BNC T, and two
BNC to probe tip adapters.

c. Press the –Input DC button.
d. Adjust C18 (-X100 LF1) and C12 (-X100 LF2) for minimum displayed

signal. Ignoring the first 1μs (0.1div), the residual displayed amplitude
should be less than 2mV (0.2div) peak to peak.

12. +Input X100 HF Transient Response

a. Press the –Input Off button.
b. Press the X10 Gain button.
c. Set BW Limit to Full. Set the oscilloscope to 20mV/div.
d. Connect the +probe to the pulse generator’s fast rise output using a 50

Ohm termination and the BNC to probe tip adaptor.

e. Press the VDiff button to enable VDiff mode.
f. Position the trace 2.5 divisions above the centerline using the PVG (-

00.500).

g. Press the +Input DC button.
h. Set the oscilloscope sweep speed to 10ns/div. Adjust pulse generator for

5 divisions of a 100 kHz signal.

i. Adjust R17 (X100 HF) for minimum aberrations at the top of the

waveform and a system rise time of less than 3.5ns.

13. X100 HF CMRR

a. Continuing from the previous step, disconnect the probe from the pulse

generator.

b. Connect both probes to the pulse generator’s fast rise output using a 50

Ohm termination, the BNC T, and two probe tips to BNC adapters.

c. Disable VDiff mode by pressing the VDiff button.

Operator’s Manual

922259-00 Rev A 15

d. Set the oscilloscope to 5mV/div.
e. Adjust R18 (-X100 HF1) for minimum displayed signal. The residual

displayed amplitude should be less than 8mV peak to peak (1.6 div).

f. Now, replace probe cover. Replacing the probe cover disturbs the X10 LF

and X100 LF compensations for CMRR very slightly. These fine
adjustments need to be made now.

14. Final Adjustments and Notes

a. Set the BW Limit to 20MHz.
b. Set the oscilloscope to 10mV/div and 10μs/div, and the probe

attenuation to 10X.

c. Terminate the pulse generator’s high amplitude output in 50 or

(preferably) 75 Ohms, producing approximately a 5 to 8 volt step.

d. Connect both probes to the pulse generator’s high amplitude output

using the BNC T and two probe tips to BNC adaptors.

e. Press the X1 Gain button.
f. Press the +Input and –Input DC buttons.
g. Adjust C8 (-X10 LF) capacitor for a minimum amplitude display. Ignoring

the first 1μs, the residual displayed amplitude should be less than 5mV

peak to peak.

h. Continuing from the previous step now set the probe attenuation to

100X.

i. Adjust C18 (-X100 LF1) capacitor for a minimum amplitude display.

NOTE: Pulse generators such as the Tektronix PG506 (that do not have a high
enough slew rate) may be encountered in some measurement situations.
Therefore it is reasonable to make minor adjustments to the –probe
compensation to improve the CMRR using a specific source. Do this by
connecting both probes to a suitable test point in the circuit under test and
adjusting the C8 (–X10 LF), R2 (-X10 HF1), R8 (-X10 HF2) or C18 (–X100 LF1), and
R18 (-X100 HF1) as needed. This is the same as performing the DXC100A Probe
Short Calibration Procedure.

DXC100A Differential Probe Pair

16 922259-00 Rev A

When the +probe has been properly adjusted it should be used as a reference.
CMRR adjustments made to the probe in the future should be done to the –
probe.

At this point, do not change any of the +Input X10 or +Input X100 Adjustments,
as doing so may require repeating the entire probe calibration procedure.
