PICOCONNECT 921

The PICOCONNECT 921 from Pico Technology is a PicoConnect 900 series low capacitance passive oscilloscope probe. The PicoConnect 900 series low capacitance passive oscilloscope probe is designed for gigabit applications up to 6GHz and 12Gb/s. With less than 0.4pF tip capacitance and ground-referred loading of 220 ohm to 910 ohm, the PicoConnect probes are less invasive than existing probing solutions. Suited to interfacing with any measuring instrument with 50 ohm inputs, PicoConnect probes allows broadband oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer users to browse circuitry, backplanes, interconnect and systems, typically without interrupting their function and to do so across multiple channels. The innovative in-PCB coplanar construction guarantees underlying microwave integrity along with mechanical precision, strength and electromagnetic immunity. The passive design is inherently resistant to static discharge and demonstrates no significant overload recovery latency or error.

• Interchangeable SMA probe heads at division ratios of 20:1, AC coupled
• Transition time is 58.3ps
• Extremely low loading capacitance of <lt/> 0.3pF typ, 0.4pF upper test limit
• Suited to Ethernet, USB3, HDMI, SATA, PCI, LVD, high-speed cabled chip to chip & backplane interface
• Specified probe ratio compensated to correct for loading of the low-impedance probe input
• High dynamic range, low noise and implicit linearity and long-term flatness of a passive design
