The P6248, P6247, and P6246 Differential Probes enable users to make time-domain or frequency-domain measurements on high-bandwidth signals commonly found in disk drive, digital IC design (RAMBUS), and communication applications (Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE-1394 Firewire, and Fibre Channel). The P6248 includes accessories that allow RAMBUS via probing and IEEE-1394 interconnect access. The small probe head geometry and assorted probe tip accessories allow these probes to easily accommodate manual probing of surface-mount devices while maintaining high CMRR.
P6248 key performance specifications
- ≥1.5 GHz bandwidth (guaranteed)
- 1.7 GHz (typical, ≤27 °C) 1X mode
- 1.85 GHz (typical, ≤27 °C) 10X mode
P6247 key performance specifications
- ≥1.0 GHz bandwidth (guaranteed)
P6246 key performance specifications
- ≥400 MHz bandwidth (guaranteed)
Key features
- Low input capacitance: <1 pF differential
- Probe input connector: two standard 0.025 in./0.63 mm (0.1 in. center) square pin receptacle (female)
- Electrostatic discharge tolerant (IEC 801-2)
- For use with oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, or network analyzers
- >60 dB (1000:1) Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)
- Small probe head allows easy probing of SMDs
Connectivity
- Connects to TekProbe® BNC interface on TDS Series oscilloscopes or other instruments using 1103 TekProbe® Power Supply
Applications
- Communications (Gigabit ethernet, IEEE-1394, fibre channel)
- Semiconductor characterization (RAMBUS)
- Disk drive read channel design
- Communication pulse shape compliance
- Jitter, crosstalk, and BERT measurements
- Location of ground bounce
P6248, P6247, and P6246 Differential Probes
The P6248, P6247, and P6246 Differential Probes are ideal for design verification of disk drive read, channel electronics, and timing analysis for troubleshooting ground-bounce problems associated with high-speed logic. They can also be used for pulse shape or crosstalk compliance testing of high-speed communication signals.
