ZD Series Active Differential Probes 1.5 GHz, 1 GHz, and 500 MHz zD serieS active differential probes The ZD Series probes provide wide dynamic range, excellent noise and loading performance and an extensive set of probe tips, leads, and ground accessories to handle a wide range of probing scenarios. The low 1 pF capacitance means this probe is ideal for all frequencies. The ZD Series differential probes provide full system bandwidth for all LeCroy Oscilloscopes 1.5 GHz and lower. Fully Integrated With the ProBus interface, the ZD500, 1000, and 1500 becomes an integral part of the oscilloscope. All probe gain and offset controls are transparent to the user, making it easier to probe the circuit without concern for which gain setting to choose. When used with a LeCroy digital oscilloscope, no external power supply is required. Wide Dynamic Range The ZD500, 1000, 1500 probes provides transparent probe attenuation so signals are always optimized for the display. The differential range is 18 Vp-p with a differential offset of 8 and common mode range of 10 V, making this versatile for every probing application. Wide Applications The wide dynamic range of 16 Vp-p and offset range of 8 suit this probe to a wide range of applications and signal types. The ZD differential probes are ideally suited for Automotive, Serial Data, power, and general purpose use. 2 The differential input capacitance is only 1 pF to minimize loading distortion on the highest frequency signals under test. System noise of only 4 mVrms allows accurate measurement of the smallest signals. A Variety of Probe Tips for Varied Tasks Engineers often need to probe a variety of different test points in confined spaces. The extensive range of standard tip accessories for the ZD Series of probes ensures that this probe can meet any difficult probing challenge. Innovative Probe Leads and Tips Provide Excellent Signal Performance Without Degradation Probing with long leads or accessories is sometimes necessary to reach the test points, but it comes at the expense of reduced bandwidth, increased capacitance, and added noise. The ZD accessories are engineered to provide the best signal fidelity without ringing or distortions commonly introduced with tip accessories. ZD Series Active Differential Probes The Swivel Tip adapter can be adjusted to probe test points ranging from 0 to .300" apart with Z-Axis compliance. The short spring loaded ground leads can be used as either a ground accessory or an extension of the probe inputs. The IC leads with a compensation resistor provide excellent signal fidelity when probing pins of an IC. One side of each blade is insulated to prevent shorting the signal to the adjacent pin. 3 specifications and ordering information Specifications ZD1500 ZD1000 ZD500 1500 MHz 1700 MHz 270 ps 200 ps 1000 MHz 1200 MHz 375 ps 280 ps 2% 5 mV 500 MHz 650 MHz 650 ps 500 ps Electrical Characteristics Bandwidth (Warranted) Bandwidth (Typical) Risetime 10-90% (Typical) Risetime 20-80% (Typical) LF Attenuation Accuracy (Warranted) Zero Offset (Typical) (within 15 minutes after autozero) System Noise (Typical) Probe Noise Density (Typical) Input Differential Range (Nominal) Differential Offset Range (Nominal) Offset Gain Accuracy (Typical) Common Mode Range (Nominal) Maximum Non-destruct Voltage (Nominal) CMRR (Typical) 1.75 mVrms 1.75 mVrms 38 nV/rt (Hz) 8 V (16 Vp-p) 18 V 2% 10 V 30 V 60 dB 50/60 Hz 30 dB 20 MHz 25 dB @ 1500 MHz 60 dB 50/60 Hz 30 dB 20 MHz 25 dB @ 1000 MHz 50 k (Common Mode) 120 k (Differential Mode) < 1.0 pF DC Input Resistance (Nominal) Differential Input Capacitance (Typical) 1.3 mVrms 60 dB 50/60 Hz 30 dB 20 MHz 25 dB 500 MHz Ordering Information Product Description Product Code 500 MHz, 1.0 pF, 1 M Active Differential Probe 1 GHz, 1.0 pF, 1 M Active Differential Probe 1.5 GHz, 1.0 pF, 1 M Active Differential Probe ZD500 ZD1000 ZD1500 Standard Accessories Y Lead Adapter, Qty 1 Solder-In Lead, Qty 2 Long Spring Loaded Bendable Ground, Qty 2 Tip Saver, Qty 2 Swivel Tip Adapter Small IC Adapter, Qty 2 Micro Pogo Pin Tip, Qty 6 Right Angle Connector Short, Qty 2 1-800-5-LeCroy www.lecroy.com PACC-ZD001 PACC-ZD002 PACC-ZD003 PACC-ZD004 PACC-ZD005 PACC-ZD006 PACC-ZD009 PACC-LD003 Product Description Right Angle Connector Long, Qty 2 Micrograbber, Qty 2 Minigrabber, Qty 2 Short Spring Loaded Bendable Ground, Qty 2 Probe Calibration Fixture, Qty 1 ZD Replacement Kit Hands Free Probe Holder, Qty1 Product Code PACC-LD004 PK006-4 PACC-CL001 PACC-CD008 PCF200 PK111 PACC-MS001 Customer Service LeCroy oscilloscopes and probes are designed, built, and tested to ensure high reliability.
