Overview

The ZD1500 is a 1.5 GHz active differential probe designed for high-frequency signal integrity measurements on Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes. It provides a wide dynamic range of plus or minus 8V and a high input resistance of 1M ohm to minimize circuit loading during testing. The probe utilizes the ProBus interface for integrated power and automatic scaling with the host instrument.

Why Choose This Part

The probe offers an exceptionally low input capacitance of 1.0 pF, which reduces circuit loading and prevents signal distortion at high frequencies. Its 10:1 attenuation and 2 percent DC gain accuracy ensure precise voltage measurements across its 1.5 GHz bandwidth.

Applications

High-Speed Serial Data
Validation of differential signals like USB 2.0, CAN, and low-speed MIPI interfaces where signal fidelity at 1.5 GHz is required.
Automotive ECU Testing
Debugging automotive communication buses and sensor outputs that require differential measurement to reject common-mode noise.
Embedded System Power Rail Characterization
Measuring high-frequency noise and ripple on low-voltage power rails where low probe capacitance is critical.
General Purpose Differential Probing
Standard troubleshooting of mixed-signal circuits requiring up to 30V of maximum input voltage protection.
