Keysight N7020A 2 GHz, 50 kΩ DC input impedance, Power Rail Probe

The N7020A power rail probe is for users making power integrity measurements that need mV sensitivity when measuring noise, ripple, and transients on their DC power rails. The probe is designed for measuring periodic and random disturbances (PARD), static and dynamic load response, programmable power rail response, and similar power integrity measurements. Many of today’s products have tighter tolerances on their DC power rails than the previous generations of these products, and the N7020A power rail probe is designed to help users assure their products meet these tighter tolerances.

The N7020A power rail probe can be used with the Keysight InfiniiVision 3000T and 4000 X-Series oscilloscopes, InfiniiVision 6000 X-Series oscilloscopes ordered after Feb 1, 2016, the Infiniium S-Series DSO and MSO high-definition oscilloscope, and the Infiniium 9000 Series DSO and MSO oscilloscopes running software revision 5.20 or newer. If you need higher bandwidth, the N7024A power rail probe has a bandwidth of 6 GHz and can be used with S, V, and Z-Series Infiniium oscilloscopes.

Features

• Low noise: 1:1 attenuation ratio probe adds only 10% to the baseline noise of the oscilloscope it is attached to
• Large offset range: Has a large +/-24 V offset range, enabling users to set their oscilloscope at maximum sensitivity and have the signal centered on the screen
• Low DC loading: 50 kΩ DC input impedance will not significantly load DC power rails
• Large active signal range: Has a +/-850 mV active signal range in addition to its large offset range so users can measure large transitions of their power rails
• High bandwidth: 2-GHz bandwidth makes it very useful for finding high-speed transients that can have detrimental effects on clocks and digital data
