– Measure AC/DC currents as low as
50 µA
– Ideal for capturing and analyzing
low level current flow in the DUT to
characterize sub-circuits or measure
current consumption of battery-
powered devices or integrated
circuits
– Simultaneous high- and low-gain
views of the current waveform for
more precise wide dynamic range
measurement (with N2820A)
As modern battery-powered devices and
integrated circuits become more green
and energy efficient, there is a growing
need to make high-sensitivity, low-level
current measurements to ensure the
current consumption of these devices
is in acceptable limits. The N2820A
high-sensitivity probe is engineered
to make high-dynamic-range, high-
sensitivity measurements to meet today’s
challenging current measurement needs.
The ultra-sensitive N2820A AC/DC
current probe can support measurements
from 50 µA to 5 A on Keysight
oscilloscopes. The N2820A interface uses
a make-before-break (MBB) connector,
allowing you to quickly probe multiple
locations on your DUT without having to
solder or unsolder the leads. The N2820A
2-channel current probe connects to
two oscilloscope channels to provide
simultaneous low-and high-gain views for
wider dynamic range measurement, while
the N2821A 1-channel current probe
provides one user-selectable view at a
time.
The N2820A 2-channel current probe connects to two oscilloscope channels to provide
simultaneous low- and high-gain views for wider dynamic range measurement
Use an area-under-the-curve
measurement (Charge) on InfiniiVision
oscilloscopes to easily calculate the
integrated current consumptions over
time in Ah.
The N2820A/21A high-sensitivity current
probes are compatible with InfiniiVision
3000 X-, 4000 X- and 6000 X-Series
oscilloscopes.
