The P7708 probe is a TriMode probe with a bandwidth of 8 GHz. The TriMode probes of the P7700 series offer the highest signal reproduction available for real-time oscilloscopes and, depending on the model, bandwidths of up to 20 GHz. An adapter element (solder down tip) can be selected for the P7700 series probes, which can be soldered directly into the circuit, for example (see data sheet). The solder down tips have an active buffer amplifier for a low test point load. This makes the probes very handy and user-friendly overall.
Application areas:
- DDR/LPDDR memory verification
- High-speed debugging of serial buses
- MIPI D-PHY/C-PHY/M-PHY conformance tests
- HDMI and DisplayPort conformance tests
Overview of adapters:
The adapters are plugged onto the actual probe (see. Data sheet for available probe/adapter combinations).
- P77STFLXA: solderable flex circuit with an active buffer amplifier at the tip
- P77STFLXB: probe solution for DDR4 and LPDDR4 validation with XH series Nexus adapters
- P77STCABL: solder down tip with integrated active buffer amplifier and long reach
- P77C292MM: enables connection to 2.92 mm or 3.5 mm or SMA connectors with full bandwidth and low noise; P77C292MM adapter features TriMode functionality enabling differential, single-ended and common mode measurements
- P77BRWSR: precisely manufactured probe tips for contacting very small SMD components by hand; minimum tip spacing 0.2 mm
Features and highlights:
- Bandwidth: 8 GHz
- Probe and tip specific S-parameter sets
- Full AC calibration of probe and tip signal path through S-parameter models
- DSP filters created for each probe and tip
- TekConnect interface for direct oscilloscope/probe control via probe buttons or via the oscilloscope menu; automated control of probe settings via the oscilloscope; automatic detection of the probe and tip when attached to the oscilloscope
- Rise time: 35 ps (20 to 80 %); 55 ps (10 to 90 %)
- Input voltage ranges: depending on adapter used and measurement mode: 1.2 Vpp to 12 Vpp
- Offset voltage range with P77BRWSR adapter: -10 to +10 V; other adapters: -4 to + 4 V
