The RP4030 will acquire a low-impedance, low-voltage DC power/voltage rail signal without loading the device under test (DUT). It provides high offset―allowing DC power/voltage rail signal to be display in the vertical center of the oscilloscope―and high sensitivity (gain) with low noise.
Key Features
- High offset capability (+/-30 V) to permit the DC signal to be displayed in the vertical center of the oscilloscope grid regardless of the gain/sensitivity setting
- Low attenuation (nominally 1.2:1) for operation with very low additive noise levels of 50 μVrms probe noise, referenced to the input of the probe When used with an HDO 12-bit oscilloscope at 1 GHz bandwidth, this equates to 140 μVrms system noise at 1 mV/div or 210 μVrms system noise at 5 mV/div, an approximately 5% increase in oscilloscope only noise.
- 50 Ω DC coupled to the oscilloscope with high DC input impedance (50 kΩ) to minimize loading on the DUT
- High dynamic range (+/-800 mV)
- 4 GHz of bandwidth―ideal for use with a 4 GHz 10-bit HDO9404
- ProBus interface with wide variety of leads for different probing needs
The RP4030 will faithfully acquire a low-impedance, low-voltage DC power/voltage rail signal without unduly loading the device under test (DUT), while providing high offset to allow DC power/voltage rail signal display on an oscilloscope with high gain.
Large Offset Range
+/-30V offset permits the DC signal to be displayed in the vertical center of the oscilloscope grid with a high-sensitivity gain setting (maximum +/-800mV dynamic range).
Low Attenuation and Noise
The probe attenuation is a nominal 1.2x coupled to the oscilloscope at DC 50 Ω. This keeps additive noise to a minimum, and makes it exceptionally useful with HDO oscilloscopes for lowest noise at highest sensitivity gain settings.
High DC Input Impedance
The probe attenuation is a nominal 1.2x coupled to the oscilloscope at DC 50 Ω. This keeps additive noise to a minimum, and makes it exceptionally useful with HDO oscilloscopes for lowest noise at highest sensitivity gain settings.
4 GHz of Bandwidth
Provides maximum bandwidth for probing near the CPU, and the perfect match with the 4 GHz, 10 bit HDO9404 when making power integrity measurements.
Wide Assortment of Tips and Leads
The RP4030 is supplied standard with solder-in and coaxial cables with MCX and U.FL PCB receptacle mounts. A browser tip is optionally available. Additional receptacles or leads may be purchased as accessories and left connected in circuit for easy connection of different signals during different tests or validation stages.
Optional Browser Tip
A 350 MHz browser tip is available as an accessory. This browser tip is a conventional transmission line probe with a "pass-through"" 0Ω resistor to achieve 50Ω tip impedance and 1x attenuation. When used with the RP4030, high DC input impedance is also achieved. The browser tip accessory is also provided with 450Ω and 950Ω resistors for use as a conventional 10x or 20x transmission line probe.
