LeCroy ZS1500 - Active Probe, 1.5 GHz, 1 MΩ, 0.9 pF

ZS Series High Impedance Active Probes

The ZS Series probes are high impedance, low capacitance active probes that maintain high signal fidelity through 4 GHz. A small form factor and a wide variety of accessories ensure the ZS probe meets every difficult probing challenge.

High Impedance Reduces Circuit Loading across Full Oscilloscope Bandwidth

Engineers must commonly probe high-frequency signals with high signal fidelity. Typical passive probes with high input R and C provide good response at lower frequencies but inappropriately load the circuit and distort signals at higher frequencies. The ZS Series features both high input R (1 MΩ) and low input C (0.6 pF and 0.9 pF) to reduce circuit loading across the entire probe/oscilloscope bandwidth. The ZS1000 is ideal for 200–600 MHz oscilloscopes. The ZS1500 is ideal for 1 GHz oscilloscopes, the ZS2500 is ideal for 2 GHz oscilloscopes, and the ZS4000 is ideal for 2.5 GHz and 4 GHz oscilloscopes.

Use the Solder-In Ground with Straight Tip for general purpose browsing.

The Straight Tip and Offset Ground Lead can be used together for probing signal and ground points extremely close together.

Hard-to-reach spaces can be be probed with the Bent Sharp Tip and can be used with a range of ground leads like the flexible Short Right-Angle Lead shown here.

Probe directly on surface mount components, like resistors or capacitors, with the Discrete SMD Tip. Use this tip with any of the ground leads, like the flexible Long Right-Angle Lead shown here.

The 2.54 mm probe adapter provides full BW probing and holds the probe in place.

The Ground Blade and Copper Pad. Use them with the insulated IC Lead Tip to prevent shorting between test points.
