Pico Technology presents a unique Inline Probing System - the TETRIS active probe. The unique design of the TETRIS active probe allows for contact to adjacent square pins in 2.54 mm pitch simultaneously. This is possible due to the probe's housing being T-shaped and allowing many probes to be positioned next to each other, permitting multiple measurements to be taken at the same time.
The TETRIS is independent of any particular system, and with its standard BNC connector it can be plugged onto any measuring instrument with a 50 Ohms input.
With an input resistance of 1 M Ohms and an input capacitance of 0.9 pF the TETRIS probe is suitable for measurements in all frequency ranges. Compared to passive probes the TETRIS active probe offers a high input impedance into the GHz-range. Passive probes with their relative high input capacitance load the signal source already at frequencies above 100 kHz.
