Overview
Introducing the Picotest P2105A 1-Port Low Noise TDR - Ripple Browser Probe, a precision instrument designed for professional design engineers. This probe offers a high bandwidth of 15GHz, making it ideal for comprehensive Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) applications. Its compatibility with the Picotest J2154A PerfectPulse TDR further enhances its functionality. The probe features fixed pitches from 20 to 100 mils, ensuring adaptability to various PCB designs. Its handheld browser style enhances usability, while the slim, low-profile housing ensures comfort and clear visibility during measurements.
Key benefits include higher bandwidth than most competitive solutions, a wide range of pitch spacings for accurate probing, and the ability to measure voltage ripple and noise, impedance mismatches, and parasitic values. The P2105A comes with a PDN cable for low coupling and optimum shielding, and its rotating SMPM connector adds to its versatility. It is compatible with all 50-ohm instruments, making it a versatile tool for impedance analysis, power integrity, and signal integrity measurements.
The Picotest P2105A is a referred to as a 'browser' probe for its ability to easily and quickly be moved from point- to-point/rail-to-rail simply by reseating the probe points. The probe achieves a very low inductance at the tip to mitigate space constraints on a dense PCB, while eliminating the need to add additional SMA connections or other test points necessary for impedance measurements. It is especially useful when there are multiple rails to assess and there is not time or PCB iterations available to provide test point implementations for each. Repeated measurements are simplified because connection is by simply touching the tip to existing trace. The P2105A comes in various fixed pin pitches (31, 40, 50, 60, 70, or 100 mil spacing with 1X attenuation; GSG SMA and custom pitches are also available).
The P2105A is compatible with all 50 ohm instruments, including the J2154A PerfectPulse TDR, vector network analyzers (VNAs), oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers. The probe is designed to work with the traditional single ended TDR setup.
