Characteristic Description
Number of channels
16 digital inputs
Input resistance, Typical
100 kΩ to ground
Input capacitance, Typical 3.0 pF
Measured at the podlet input. Requires the use of 342-1140-00 ground clip per channel
Minimum input signal swing 400 mV

≤ 200 MHz (centered around the DC threshold voltage) at the P6616
probe tip.

p-p
for f
in
>200 MHz (centered around the D C threshold voltage) at the P6616
probe tip.
Failure to meet this input signal requirement will compromise the AC performance of the
digital channel. It might also damage the input circuitry. See the Absolute maximum
input voltage specification.
Maximum Input Toggle Rate 500 MHz
Maximum frequency sine wave input that can accurately be reproduced as a logic
square wave.
Requires the use of a 342-1140-00 ground clip on each channel.
This is the maximum frequency at the minimum swing amplitude. Higher toggle rates
can be achieved with higher amplitudes.
Absolute maximum input voltage
±42 V peak at the P6616 input (not at the instrument input)
Probe input voltages beyond this limit could permanently damage the instrument and
the P6616 probe.
Channel-to-channel skew
200 ps
Digital channel to digital channel only.
This is the propagation path skew and ignores skew contributions due to threshold
inaccuracies (see Threshold accuracy) and sample binning (see Digital channel timing
resolution). Factory calibration/deskew is required to achieve this number.
