Reducing capacitive loading can help minimize these effects. In this application note, you’ll learn how low capacitance probes can improve your measurements.

Nov 14, 2025 · Low-capacitance probe design represents a critical engineering discipline for high-frequency and high-speed digital integrated circuit (IC) testing. As signal frequencies exceed 1 …

Low capacitance probes are a type of passive, analog voltage probe, alongside high voltage and general-purpose probes. The most basic probe, a passive probe, is also the most versatile. …

At the heart of the PicoConnect 920 Series gigabit digital probes lies an innovative in-PCB construction. This advanced design ensures not only low capacitance but also coplanar …

This very low capacitance probe provides an excellent solution for higher frequency applications, especially the probing of transmission lines with 20–100 Ω impedance.

To minimize this effect, physically arrange the adapter and scope probe to minimize stray capacitance to ground and the circuit under test. This is where that Tektronix connector for the …

Using a probe with a smaller input capacitance will cause less disturbance or loading at the test point, which greatly increases the likelihood you’ll get a measurement with greater accuracy

Using a probe with a smaller input capacitance will cause less disturbance or loading at the test point, which greatly increases the likelihood you’ll get a measurement with greater accuracy.

Probe loading changes the signal being probed and can cause measurement problems or can even cause a circuit to perform differently. Reducing capacitive loading can help minimize …

Any probe loads the circuit under test with a few pF of probe's input capacitance. CMOS based crystal stabilized clock oscillators are one type of such circuits - connecting extra 5-6 pF …
