Probing the Device Under Test
Probing the Device Under Test
When using the 16760A logic analyzer, there are four probing options
available:
• “Using the E5378A Single-Ended Probe” on page 35
• “Using the E5379A Differential Probe” on page 37
• “Using the E5380A Mictor-Compatible Probe” on page 39
• “Using the E5382A Single-ended Flying Lead Probe Set” on page 40
• “Using an Analysis Probe” on page 41
Using the E5378A Single-Ended Probe
The E5378A single-ended probe has 34-channels and is capable of
capturing data at rates up to 1500 Mb/s. The probe has the following
inputs:
• 32 single-ended data inputs, in two groups (pods) of 16.
• Two differential clock inputs. Either or both clock inputs can be acquired
as data inputs if not used as a clock.
• Two data threshold reference inputs, one for each pod (group of 16 data
inputs).
This probe matches two 17-channel probe cables to a single-ended
100-pin Samtec connector.
Mechanical
Considerations
Each E5379A probe requires a mating connector and support shroud
built into the device under test.
You can order a probing connector kit, which contains five mating
connectors and five support shrouds, using the Agilent part numbers:
• 16760-68702 for PC board thicknesses up to 0.062 in.
• 16760-68703 for PC board thicknesses up to 0.120 in.
