16860A Series Probing Options
Logic analyzer probes are required and ordered separately. Please specify probes when ordering to ensure the correct connection
between the logic analyzer and the device under test.
Consider the following when determining how you’ll connect to the DUT. For more detailed information on probing options, please refer
to the Probing Solutions for Logic Analyzers data sheet (pub number: 5968-4632E).
Flying lead probes
Connector probes – Mictor
Measure individual signals physically
far apart or located where a probe
connector hasn’t been designed in. A
wide variety of accessories provide
the flexibility to connect to IC pins,
traces, pads, vias and any signal that
resides on the surface of the board.
This reliable and cost-effective
connector solution supports data
rates up to 600 Mb/s. Mictor probes
require a 38-pin Mictor connector
designed into your target system.
DDR/LPDDR BGA probes
BGA probes work in existing designs
and eliminate the need for up front
planning or re-design. BGA probes
allow you to get signal access to the
DDR/LPDDR signals, connecting
directly to the balls of the DRAM,
enabling you to operate at full speed
and acquire high-speed signals
without impacting the performance
of your design.
Soft Touch connectorless probes
Soft Touch connectorless probes
ensure signal quality with
< 0.7 pF of capacitive loading. They
are compatible with all surface
finishes, including lead-free. The
probe requires a soft touch footprint
designed into your target system.
ZIF probes
ZIF probes provide convenient and
reliable connection between the BGA
probe wings and the U4201A cable
that connects to the logic analyzer.
Connector probes – Samtec
This high-performance connector
solution supports data rates up to
1.5 Gb/s. The probe requires a
100-pin Samtec connector designed
into your target system.
