Description

CT1 | Current sensor, AC, 450 mA, BNC, 25 kHz-1 GHz

The CT1 current probe in miniature format is intended for permanent or semi-permanent installation in a circuit. The probe consists of a current transformer and a connecting cable. The current transformer has a small hole through which a current-carrying conductor is fed during circuit assembly. The P6041 probe cable included in the scope of delivery establishes the connection between the CT1 current transformer and a BNC oscilloscope input. If the cable is connected to a high-impedance oscilloscope input (1 MΩ), a 50 Ω termination is required. One probe can monitor several current transformers connected in a circuit.

Single-shot measurements and pulse measurements with a low repetition rate:

The CT1 current probe is designed for a maximum pulse current of 12 A with an ampere-second product of 1 A × 10-6 seconds (1 ampere-microsecond). It can therefore safely handle a 12 A peak pulse with a maximum width of 0.083 microseconds or lower amplitude pulses for longer pulse widths.

Differential current measurement:

Most true differential voltage amplifiers have a maximum bandwidth of around 100 MHz. The CT1 current probe can perform differential current measurements up to 1 GHz by passing two wires with opposing currents through the same core. The displayed result is the differential current.

Measurements of propagation delay:

Two CT1 current transformers with matching cables of equal signal transit times can be used to measure the signal transit time between the input current and output current of high-frequency components. The two outputs of the current samples are connected to the inputs of a dual-channel real-time sampling oscilloscope. Any sample/cable/scope mismatch can be verified by passing the same signal current through both current samples and measuring the system delay time difference.

Application areas:

  • Read channel design for data storage
  • Silicon characterization
  • High frequency analog design
  • ESD-Testing
  • Signal injection
  • Differential current measurements
  • Low repetition rate single-shot pulse measurements
  • Propagation delay measurement
