The N2795A/96A are low-cost, 1 and 2 GHz single-ended active probes with the AutoProbe interface (compatible with the Keysight Technologies, Inc. InfiniVision and Infiniium family of oscilloscopes).

These probes integrate many of the characteristics needed for today’s general-purpose, high-speed probing - especially in digital system design, component design/characterization, and educational research applications.

Its 1MΩ input resistance and extremely low input capacitance (1 pF) provide ultra low loading of the DUT. This, accompanied with superior signal fidelity, makes these probes useful for most of today’s digital logic voltages. And with their wide dynamic range (±8 V) and offset range (±12 V for N2796A/97A, ±8 V for N2795A), these probes can be used in a wide variety of applications.

For high signal integrity probing, the N2795A 1 GHz and N2796A 2 GHz active probes are perfect complements to Keysight’s 500 MHz – 600 MHz and 1 GHz bandwidth scopes, respectively. The N2796A 2 GHz probe can also be used with Keysight’s 2 GHz or higher bandwidth Infiniium scope as a low cost alternative to InfiniiMax probes.

Testing devices over extreme temperature ranges is quite common these days. The N2797A single-ended active probe is the industry’s first low-cost high input impedance active probe with rugged probe tips for environmental chamber testing of ICs and devices. The probe gives the ability to probe signals at drastic temperature swings ranging from –40 to +85 °C. The probe provides 1.5 GHz of bandwidth and a 2 m long cable.

The N2795A/96A/97A are equipped with a pleasant white LED headlight to illuminate the circuit under test. The probes are powered directly by the InfiniiVision and Infiniium Autoprobe interface, eliminating the need for an additional power supply. The probes also come with a number of accessories that allow for easy connections to the circuit under test.
