About Sonic 4000
The Sonic 4000 active probe offers best-in-class performance and is easy to use to make in-circuit measurements.With the Sonic 4000's DC to >4GHz bandwidth, high input impedance, low noise and ±8V dynamic range makes it the ideal probe to use with any oscilloscope or other 50 measurement system. Sonic 4000's ±12V input offset capability extends the input voltage range of the probe.The input capacitance of <0.6pF parallel 2M between probe tip and probe reference (1M to the oscilloscope ground) provides the highest impedance in its class to allow the probing of sensitive circuits without adversely loading the circuit under test.
The high impedance probe tip reference connection is a key feature of the Sonic 4000.Unlike traditional single-ended probes, with their probe tip reference connected to earth ground that can damage the customer's circuit if it is accidentally connected to any non-ground test point, the probe tip reference impedance to earth ground is 1M.This feature allows for safe in-circuit browsing of an energized circuit without the possibility for shorting the probe tip reference connection directly to earth ground.
Sonic 4000 Input Loading Schematic
The Sonic 4000 active probe uses a PMK custom high speed FET input amplifier with active cladding wave compensation to provide a superior high frequency response as well as a low noise and low distortion to accurately measure the customer signals.
