ZD500
Overview
The Teledyne LeCroy ZD500 is a 500 MHz active differential probe designed for high-fidelity measurements in complex circuit environments. It features a 10:1 attenuation ratio and a high 1M Ohm input resistance to minimize circuit loading while maintaining signal integrity across a wide dynamic range. The probe utilizes the ProBus interface for seamless integration and automatic scaling with compatible oscilloscopes.
Why Choose This Part
The ZD500 offers a very low input capacitance of 1.0 pF, which reduces circuit loading at high frequencies to prevent signal distortion. Its integration with the ProBus interface allows the oscilloscope to automatically sense the probe and set the appropriate attenuation and offset controls.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Connect the ZD500 to a Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope equipped with a ProBus interface for automatic power and scaling. Use the provided high-frequency solder-in tips or browser leads to maintain the 500 MHz bandwidth during testing. Ensure the signal does not exceed the 8V maximum dynamic range for accurate differential measurements.
