Figure 1. Input impedance profile of two common probe architectures: RC and RCRC The InfiniiMax probes can be divided into two main categories: RC and RCRC architecture. As pictured above, an RC input impedance architecture has the lowest loading and least signal distortion across the widest frequency range. At lower frequencies, you can see that the input impedance is driven by input R of the probe. It then intersects the capacitance of the probe. The RCRC architecture is best when higher bandwidth is necessary, or for signals that have low source impedance. You can see here that at higher...

InfiniiMode In many of today’s high-speed serial bus standards, the accurate measurement of single-ended and common-mode components of a differential signal is often compromised by having to rely on multiple probe channels and a scope’s internal math functions, but these methods are prone to errors and cumbersome to use. InfiniiMode allows you to measure differential, single-ended and common-mode characteristics of a differential signal with a signal connection. You will need to connect four inputs consisting of two differential signal inputs: +lead, -lead and two ground connections to make...

True View Source Estimate The signal at the output of the probe is an accurate representation of the signal that currently exists, as it is being probed. Best to use for receiver sensitivity because you have to measure what is actually there. Doesn’t hide the fact that the probe loaded the signal. When system source impedance is known, it more accurately depicts the signal before it was probed. Best to use for transmitter test because it is best at estimating the signal coming out of the transmitter. Doesn’t estimate signal that was there before being probed. Signal at the probe point is...
