Demystifying RCRC and RC Probes

Applikationsberichte

An ideal oscilloscope probe would simply provide an exact replica of the signal being probed. However, in the real world, the probe becomes a part of the circuit under test because the probe or probing accessories attached to the device under test (DUT) introduce probe loading to the circuit. Depending on the probe and the circuit, the probe loading may cause unwanted side effects such as overshooting, ringing, and DC offset problems in the time domain. Learn more about the difference between RC and RCRC probe architecture, what this means for probe loading, and how to get the most accurate measurements.
