InfiniiMax Active Probe System Overview

The InfiniiMax probing system offers you the highest performance available for measuring
differential and single-ended signals, with flexible connectivity solutions for today’s
high-density ICs and circuit boards. Keysight Technologies, Inc. pioneered “probe head”
type probes starting with the InfiniiMax I probe system in 2003. InfiniiMax I boasted a
7 GHz bandwidth and provided both differential and single-ended probe heads to fit
multiple use models. The “probe head” topology allows higher performance. It allows
more flexibility in the use models accommodating browser, solder-in, SMA etc.

In 2005 Keysight released InfiniiMax II 1168A/69A Series. This continued the probe head
style probe topology while boosting the bandwidth to 13 GHz. The technology used for
InfiniiMax II is the same as the one for InfiniiMax I except for the use of a new 70 GHz
SiGe bipolar IC process. InfiniiMax II set new standards for performance, low noise, and
low loading.

While the 13 GHz bandwidth of the InfiniiMax II probe system is

still very adequate for many measurement needs, the extreme
speeds of emerging serial data and communication technologies
has driven the need for even higher performance levels. To
respond to this need, Keysight has developed the InfiniiMax III
30 GHz probing system. A wide range of probe heads allows
connection using a browser, ZIF (zero insertion force) tip,
2.92-mm or 3.5-mm SMA cable, or solder-in tips.

The new InfiniiMax III+ probe system is greatly expanding the

measurement capability and usability of probes capable of
measuring all the components of a differential signal. With a
single connection, InfiniiMax III+ can be set to measure the
differential or single-ended A or B, or the common mode
component of a differential signal.

Modern high speed digital applications have pushed the limit of high bandwidth and high
performance probing solutions. Keysight offers four different InfiniiMax probe families to
meet today’s challenging high speed measurement needs -- InfiniiMax I/II/III/III+.

Each of these solutions has its own, unique value. The principle difference is found in the
key performances, functions and tasks that optimize each for its intended applications.

Note that InfiniiMax I and II probe probe heads are compatible to each other, but they are
not compatible with InfiniiMax III/III+ and vice versa.

Overcoming measurement challenges with InfiniiMax probe

InfiniiMax probe is not just for Infiniium scope
The benefits of Keysight’s award winning InfiniiMax probes are not restricted to Keysight
Infiniium oscilloscopes. A variety of accessories are available that allow you to use
InfiniiMax probes with other test equipment, such as spectrum analyzers and sampling
oscilloscopes.

To learn more about how to use the InfiniiMax probe with your test equipment other than
Keysight Infiniium oscilloscopes, refer to the Keysight literature number 5989-1869EN.

Operating at high or low temperatures

You may need to monitor a system in a temperature chamber with an oscilloscope probe
to verify performance over a wide range of operating temperatures, or to determine the
cause of failures at high or low temperatures. Keysight InfiniiMax I/II probe amplifiers
have a specified operating temperature range from 5 °C to 40 °C. However, the probe
heads can be operated over a much wider range. You can use the Keysight N5450B
extension cable set to physically separate the probe heads from the probe amplifiers.
This will allow you to operate the probe heads inside a temperature chamber with the
probe amplifier located outside the temperature chamber. To learn more about how to
extend the operating range of the InfiniiMax probes in temperature, refer to the Keysight
literature number 5989-7587EN.

Increasing the voltage dynamic range and offset range

The dynamic range of the InfiniiMax probes is 5 V p-p for InfiniiMax I and 3.3 V p-p for
InfiniiMax II. For applications that need to measure larger signals with faster edges,
the N2880A in-line coaxial attenuator kit allows you to increase the dynamic range of
the probe system up to 50 Vpp and the offset range up to ± 30V, without affecting the
bandwidth or rise time characteristics of the probe system. The N2881A DC blocking
capacitors can be used in series with the N2880A InfiniiMax in-line attenuator to block
out unwanted DC components of the input signal up to 30 V. To learn more about how to
extend the operating range of the InfiniiMax probes in input range, refer to the Keysight
literature number 5989-7587EN.

How would I measure small AC riding on top of large DC with

InfiniiMax probe?
It is challenging to measure very small signals riding on top of large signals with scopes,
as most scopes have limited dynamic ranges and offset ranges. Consider using an
InfiniiMax active probe which provides a huge offset range that can allow you to make
measurements you need. To learn more about how to use the InfiniiMax probe’s offset
range, refer to the Keysight literature number 5990-8255EN and 5988-9264EN.

–– The Keysight InfiniiMax 1130A series probe system supports a wide variety of real-world
applications with an extensive line up of probe heads and accessories. The accessories
can meet the most demanding mechanical access requirements. Small probe heads can
be placed between densely packed PC boards. Solder-in sockets are available for signals
that need frequent measurement. A differential SMA probe head is available to connect
to fixtures that have SMA connections. A smart ergonomic design allows users to set the
spacing between the probe pins (variable span). When not concerned with minimum probe
size, designers can use a browsing sleeve to make holding the probe more comfortable.
Both probe tips of the differential probe can “flex” to support various probing angles and
target system character­istics (z-axis compliance). Innovative damped-wire accessories
compensate for the inductance and capacitance associated with the leads, and prevent
distortion of the measured signal.

–– The groundbreaking design of Keysight InfiniiMax 1130A probe system also enables users
to make either single-ended or differential measurements from a single probe amplifier,
depending on their choice of probe head and accessory. This can result in significant
savings in cost and time. The common mode rejection of the differential probe head
reduces a measurement’s noise floor. Overall, the Keysight 1130 series probing system
delivers unmatched performance, accuracy and connectivity.

N7010A Active Termination Adapter

–– 30-GHz single-ended active termination adapter supporting 2.92 mm/3.5 mm/SMA

cable input
–– Low attenuation setting (1.16:1) for high SNR, low noise measurements
–– Ability to terminate signal to a 50 Ω non-ground voltage (VTERM)
–– Compatible with Infiniium 90000Q, Z-Series, or V-Series installed with software
version 5.30 or higher

To date, most oscilloscopes with 50 Ω inputs terminate to ground by definition. However,

a particular communication system often requires the 50 Ω termination to a voltage
rather than to ground. The Keysight N7010A active termination adapter is a 30-GHz
single-ended adapter featuring a user-adjustable common termination voltage (VTERM)
and extremely low noise performance. The termination voltage between –4.0 V to +4.0 V
can be controlled internally by the oscilloscope. The N7010A is a single-ended adapter.
Two scope channels and two adapters are needed for making differential measurement,
which allow the A to GND, B to GND and differential (A-B) signals to be viewed in real
time.

50 uA
–– Ideal for capturing and analyzing
low level current flow in the DUT to
characterize sub-circuits or measure
current consumption of battery-
powered devices or integrated circuits
–– Simultaneous high- and low-gain
views of the current waveform for
more precise wide dynamic range
measurement (with N2820A)
N2820A high-sensitivity 2-channel current probe
As modern battery-powered devices and
integrated circuits become more green and
energy efficient, there is a growing need
to make high-sensitivity, low-level current
measurements to ensure the current con-
sumption of these devices is in acceptable
limits. The N2820A high-sensitivity probe
is engineered to make high-dynamic-range,
high-sensitivity measurements to meet
today’s challenging current measurement
needs.

The ultra-sensitive N2820A AC/DC

current probe can support measurements
from 50 uA to 5 A on Keysight oscilloscopes.

break (MBB) connector, allowing you to
quickly probe multiple locations on your
DUT without having to solder or unsolder
the leads. The N2820A 2-channel current
probe connects to two oscilloscope
channels to provide simultaneous low-
and high-gain views for wider dynamic
range measurement, while the N2821A
1-channel current probe provides one
user-selectable view at a time.

Use an area-under-the-curve measurement

(Charge) on Infiniium oscilloscopes to
easily calculate the integrated current
consumptions over time in Ah.

General Purpose Passive Probes – 1165A Passive Probe

–– Standard passive probe for Infiniium 5483x Series

–– Compact design, removable probe handle for tight probing areas

These general purpose replacement devices are built and tested for high reliability.
Kevlar strengthener has been added to the probe cable for extra pull strength. Durable
probe tips are replaceable.

The compact design significantly reduces the problem of probing densely populated
integrated circuit components or the characteristically minute conductors on printed
circuit boards. These small, lightweight probes allow measurements that were previously
difficult, while reducing the danger of shorting. For tight probing areas, the probe handle
can be unscrewed and pulled back along the cable.

When probing about the circuit in debug mode, the probes easily slip inside the included
browsers. The browsers feature a crown point that digs into solder and avoids the danger
of slipping off the test point and shorting to adjacent leads. A pogo pin allows hand
movement on the probes without losing contact with the device under test.

A snap-on BNC connector simplifies attaching the probe to the scope. Leads are
available for connecting to a wide variety of test points. See “Ordering Information”
for a complete list.

–– Useful in probing high-frequency signals with low source impedance

–– Supplied with 10:1, 500 Ω and 20:1, 1 kΩ resistor dividers
–– Low capacitive loading to extremely high frequencies

The Keysight 54006A allows you to probe signals up to 6 GHz using replaceable tips that

Mixed Signal Oscilloscope Logic Probes and Accessories (continued)

The 9000 MSO digital channels were architected to be compatible with a wide variety of
probing accessories developed over 20 years for logic analyzers. There’s a good chance
that the logic analyzer accessories you already own work with your MSO. With the
standard 40-pin cable that comes with your MSO, the MSO accepts numerous logic
analyzer accessories including:

–– E5346A 34-channel Mictor connector probe

–– E5385A 34-channel Samtec connector
–– E5383A 16-channel flying lead set 01650-63203 16-channel termination adapter
(also available as a bundle of both the termination adapter and the 40-pin cable with
PN 10085-68701)
–– E5404A 34-channel soft touch pro connectorless probe
–– E5394A 34-channel soft touch connectorless probe
–– E5396A 16-channel soft touch connectorless probe
–– Any other accessory that connects to a logic analyzer via a 40-pin cable

For logic accessories of greater channel width than MSO digital channels (> 16 channels),
there are two use models.

–– Route up to 16 signals to the probe and don’t use the additional probe channels.
–– Route up to 32 signals to the probe and measure ½ of them at a time. Simply plug
the 40-pin cable to the other side of the probe to see the other ½ of the signals.

Probing Accessories – N2784A/85A/86A/87A Probe Positioners

–– Easy-to-manipulate probe arms for hands-free browsing

–– One- or two-articulated arms with stable high-mass base (N2784A and N2785A)
–– Quick and stable XY positioning (N2786A)
–– Stable 3D probe positioning for hard-to-reach XYZ access
–– Compatible with most scope probes
–– Applications: Hands-free browsing for electronic components on PC board

The N2784A and N2785A probe positioners provide quick and stable X-Y positioning for
PC boards and devices that require hands-free probing.

Unlike other probe positioners that require multiple adjustments to lock the probe holder
into position, the N2784A and N2785A need only the “lift and drop” motion to put the
probe in place. The weight stabilization technique used in these probe holders keeps
constant pressure at the probing point so the probe tip stays in position even when the
target board is bumped.

The N2786A is a low cost, easy-to-use XY axis probe holder for general purpose probing
applications. The two-leffed positioner is designed to be easy to use–the positioner itself
has no controls to positioner it in place. N2786A 2-leg probe positioner

The N2787A is a 3D probe positioner with a flexible, articulating arm that can be quickly
positioned in a variety of configurations.

For more information about Keysight’s probe positioners, refer to literature number
5989-9131EN.
