Home Product J2152A High Speed Probe Calibrator
A hyper-fast GaN pulse generator charges the probe tip to a programmable voltage, up to 100V. The probe is then discharged using a 0.5 ? GaN FET. The result is a time domain response as seen in the ringing here. The probe tip capacitance is directly measured using the rise time to charge the probe tip. This allows the probe to be properly compensated. Additionally, knowing the capacitance, the ringing frequency and the damping, it’s possible to completely model the probe using inverse Laplace transformation. The calibrator has a selectable voltage option, allowing easy scaling of the reference waveforms on the scope.

The J2152A is a calibrator for oscilloscope probes. Most 50 Ohm based probe calibrators give an incorrect response. The J2152A works by using a hyper fast pulse step whose source has a near-zero impedance which is much less than the probe tip impedance. This is accomplished with a unique ultra-high-speed GaN driver. The pulse response can then be optimized providing the correct compensation.
