Pico Technology AD2201, AC2801 Active, Differential Probes
The Pico Technology AD2201 (200 MHz) and AD2801 (800 MHz) are active differential probes suitable for high-speed measurement applications. These differential probes extend the functionality of standard single-ended input oscilloscopes to allow a safe and accurate method of making differential voltage measurements. Applications include making safe measurements in power circuit applications and acquisition of high-speed balanced differential signals found in serial communications buses.
- Differential oscilloscope probes up to 200 MHz or 800 MHz.
- Differential measurement range of ±15 V or ±20 V.
- Common-mode range of up to ±30 V or ±60 V (DC + peak AC).
- Include an in-line battery module, with a 5 V USB power lead integrated for use with standard off-the-shelf USB chargers.
