Pico Technology PicoConnect 925 AC Coupled Passive Probe

Overview

The Pico Technology PicoConnect 925 is a high-performance AC coupled passive oscilloscope probe engineered for low-invasive probing of high-speed digital transmission lines and gigabit data streams. With a 9 GHz bandwidth and 5:1 attenuation ratio, it supports data rates up to 18 Gb/s (9 GHz) and is optimized for measuring signals in the 40 to 60 Ω range (80 to 120 Ω differential). The AC coupling design is particularly valuable when DC bias conditions must be preserved, as with HDMI, ECL, PECL, and LVDS signals. The probe delivers market-leading pulse fidelity with extremely low tip capacitance, ensuring accurate signal capture without system perturbation.
