Electrical

Data inputs

Considerations

The E5379A differential probe can capture data on differential signals

 

 

or single-ended signals.

 

When capturing data on differential signals, the logic analyzer will

 

determine high and low states based on the crossover of the data and

 

negative data inputs.

 

When capturing data on single-ended signals, either ground the

 

negative data inputs and adjust the threshold voltage in the user

 

interface, or connect the negative data inputs to the DC threshold

 

reference voltage.

 

Clock input

 

The clock input on the E5379A differential probe can also be a

 

differential signal or a single-ended signal, in the same way as

 

described for the data inputs above. The clock input has a separate,

 

independent threshold adjustment.

For complete information, including mechanical considerations such as

 

pin-out and footprint and electrical considerations such as circuit board

 

design best practices, refer to the Agilent Technologies E5378A, E5379A,

 

and E5380A Probes for the 16760A Logic Analyzer user's guide that

 

comes with the probes.
