Probing for Memory System Validation  
Keysight Technologies, Inc. has the measurement tools you need to validate the very  
latest memory technologies. These include logic analyzers, oscilloscopes and software  
for automated compliance, decode, and protocol checking. To complement our high  
speed digital instruments and software, Keysight offers probing solutions with a  
comprehensive range of Ball Grid Array (BGA) interposers. When positioned between  
the processor memory controller and the memory device, the interposers allow you to  
make signal quality or protocol measurements with minimal effect on the system-under-  
test. You can choose from a large selection of existing BGA interposers or work with  
Keysight’s Application Engineers to define customized probing solutions for your specific  
needs.  
Refer to the following publications for information on available DDR/LPDDR BGA  
interposers.

Reliable Connections Ensure Accuracy  
Signal frequency content drives probing solutions  
– Impedance  
High input impedance ensures  
minimum intrusion on your circuit.  
Although many probes might be  
acceptable for lower frequencies,  
capacitive loading becomes  
significant at higher frequencies. The  
Keysight probing products perform  
over a wide frequency spectrum.  
Faster clock rates demand tighter timing tolerances, such as setup and hold  
specifications. Systems with faster clock rates usually have shorter rise and fall times.  
Signals with shorter transition times have more high frequency content and are more  
susceptible to high frequency analog problems such as cross talk, reflections, ground  
bounce, noise and emissions. Susceptibility of a system to analog problems relates to  
the transition times of the signals, not the clock rate. A system with slow transition times  
cannot have high clock rates. However, it is possible for a system with slower clock rates  
to have signals with very fast transition times.  
– Ruggedness  
General-purpose probing solutions provide the analog bandwidth required to run  
each logic analyzer module at its maximum clock rate. The high input impedance of  
these probes, especially at high frequencies, presents a minimal load to most systems.  
Systems that are operating with little margin should be designed with consideration for  
both the system components and the input impedance of the probing solution being  
used during debug. Input impedance specifications or equivalent load diagrams can be  
found for each of the probing solutions described in this document.  
Probes with quality mechanical  
design provide solid electrical  
connections. Intermittent open  
circuits would only add one more  
variable to your debugging equation.  
Keysight probes are mechanically  
designed to relieve strain and ensure  
rugged, reliable connection.  
– Immunity to Noise  
Electromagnetic noise can corrupt  
data captured by the logic analyzer.  
Keysight probing solutions are  
designed for a high immunity to  
transient noise.  
Which Logic Analyzer?  
For logic analyzers with 160-pin front panel connector, use probes identified in  
this document as “Direct-connect probes.”  
For logic analyzers with cables that use a 3M-style connector with two rows of  
20 pins on 0.1-inch centers, as illustrated in Figure 1.1, use probes identified in  
this document as “for analyzers with 40-pin pod connectors.”  
– Performance  
Keysight logic analyzers have  
front-end circuitry that supports the  
state and timing specifications of  
the analyzer. This circuitry, together  
with the Keysight probing solutions  
described in this document, will  
accurately capture the target signals  
at the specified clock rates.  
For logic analyzers with cables that use a 90-pin, high-density connector as  
illustrated in Figure 1.2, use probes identified in this document as “for analyzers  
with 90-pin pod connectors.”

Other considerations  
Physical connection compatibility  
between various Keysight probes may  
allow you to mix and match a variety  
of probes and accessories. However, a  
probe accessory designed for slower  
clock speeds will not deliver high-speed  
target performance simply because it  
is used with a higher speed analyzer  
module. Also, the serial connection of  
multiple probe leads and/or accessories  
will degrade signal integrity.

Soft Touch Connectorless Probing  
Several options are available for connecting Keysight logic analyzers with 90-pin pod  
connectors to a target system using mass connections.  
Keysight Pro Series soft touch connectorless logic analyzer probes  
Keysight has developed connectorless logic analyzer probes based on soft touch  
probing technology. Connectorless logic analyzer probing removes the connector that  
is traditionally attached to the target board and replaces it with an array of probe pads.  
This reduces the probe load on the target by eliminating the loading associated with  
the physical body of the connector. Additionally, this streamlines the design flow by  
eliminating the need to assign a logic analyzer connector to the bill of material of your  
board, procuring those connectors and then having them loaded onto your board.  
Keysight’s soft touch connectorless probes use micro spring-pin technology to provide  
reliable contact which is not dependent on the planarity of the PC board or the plating  
processes used to fabricate the board. No special cleaning processes are required when  
using Keysight’s soft touch probes.  
The new Keysight Pro Series soft touch connectorless probes offer a 30% smaller  
footprint than the original soft touch probes and are the basis for the industry standard  
connectorless probing footprint.  
The probes use a retention module that ensures soft touch pin-to-PC board pad  
alignment and holds the probe in place while in use. The Pro Series soft touch uses a  
“top-side” mountable retention module. The retention module is mounted on the same  
side of the board as the probing footprint so there is no need to access the back-side  
of the board. Because there is no requirement for the retention module pins to extend  
beyond the back-side of the board, the retention module is compatible with virtually any  
board thickness.

U4207A Probe, Zero Ω, 34 Channel, Soft Touch Pro, Single-Ended, to Four 160-pin  
Direct Connect to Logic Analyzer Front Panel Connectors  
The U4207A is only for use with Keysight RC (resistor/capacitor) BGA interposers, such  
as the W6602A. Please refer to the U4200A Series user guide for the specific Keysight  
RC BGA interposer for specific information regarding connecting the U4207A.  
The Keysight W6602A+U4207A passively monitors the LPDDR4 200 ball DRAM package.  
After tuning the Keysight analyzer, Command/Address bits can be reliably captured up  
to 3200 MT/s. At some data rates, the analyzer may not be able to provide an error-free  
capture of all DQ data bits.  
Physical dimensions of the U4207A are identical to the U4206A. Electrically, the probes  
are very different. The U4206A contains the RC tip network for the U4164A internally.  
The U4207A is zero Ω internally and is designed only to be used with Keysight BGA  
interposers with the tip RC network for the U4164A designed onto the BGA interposer.  
CAUTION: Connecting the U4207A to a footprint without the RC tip network can damage  
the U4164A module.  
The U4206A is designed to be used with either the quad state mode or ¼ channel  
10 GHz timing mode of the U4164A logic analyzer module. For use in quad state mode  
only, the U4207A includes two flying leads to connect additional clock qualifier signals  
into the clock inputs on Pods 3 and 7 of the clocking module.  
Please refer to the U4164A installation guide for specific details on the operation of the  
U4164A quad sample state or ¼ channel 10 GHz timing modes of operation.  
The U4207A ships with:  
– Carrying case (qty 1)  
– Soft touch pro retention module, one kit of qty 5, part number E5405-68702  
– Pin protector, one covering the soft touch pro connector on the U4206A and one

Wedge adapters  
Table 5. Wedge probe adapter  
The Keysight Wedge technology provides  
very reliable probing of a few channels  
on 0.5 mm and 0.65 mm pitch QFPs. No  
clear area is required around the device.  
Each Wedge of the probe slides between  
the legs of the QFP. The side of each  
Wedge probe contacts the package legs.  
An insulation core electrically isolates  
the sides of each Wedge (see Figures 7.1  
and 7.2). Various 3-signal, 8-signal, and  
16-signal probes are available (see  
Table 5).

40-pin and 90-pin Logic Analyzers Probe Cables  
Signal line loading  
Any probed signal line must be able to supply a minimum of 600 mV (unless noted  
otherwise — see probe of interest) to the probe tip while the probe is connected to the  
system. The maximum input voltage of each probe is ± 40 volts peak (unless noted  
otherwise — see probe of interest).  
Probe cables  
The probe cable (see Figure 10.1 and Table 10) contains 16 signal lines and two clk lines,  
two +5 volt power lines, and ground lines for each of the signal/clock and power lines.  
All of these lines are contained in a 4.5-foot cable. The probe cable is included with the  
logic analyzer. The cable grounds are chassis (earth) grounds, not “floating” grounds.  
The two +5 volt power lines can be used to power active probing systems. Consult the  
specifications for the individual logic analyzers or logic analyzer cards for the maximum  
allowable current through each +5 volt power supply.  
Figure 8.1. Typical logic analyzer probe cable.  
Caution: These +5 volt power lines MUST NOT be connected to the target’s power  
supply.  
Caution: Be careful when using straight wire probe leads, one common ground, or  
RC networks located far from the target. These circumstances increase the impact  
of analog effects such as crosstalk and EMT susceptibility, which contribute to  
measurement errors.

General-Purpose Probing  
E5383A 17-channel single-ended flying lead probe  
Ideal when only a few lines may need to be probed or probe points are distributed across  
a target. The E5383A includes a set of 20 IC test clips and five ground leads.  
Logic analysis general-purpose probes  
General-purpose probing requires connecting probe leads to individual signal lines. This  
method is most convenient for a small to moderate number of signals, is very flexible,  
and can be used in conjunction with other probing methods.  
Note: Any probed signal line must be able to supply a minimum of 600 mV to the probe  
with the specified loading.  
The standard probing system  
The standard probing system consists of IC clips, probe leads, probe housing and  
probe cable. Because it is passive, the standard probing system is smaller, lighter, and  
much easier to use than active probing systems. This passive probing system is similar  
to a probing system used on a high frequency oscilloscope. It consists of an isolation  
network (as shown in Figure 9.1) at the probe tip and a shielded resistive transmission  
line. The advantages of this system are:  
– High input impedance. See Figure 9.1.  
– Signal ground at the probe tip for high-speed signals.  
– Inexpensive, removable probe tip assemblies.

Probe leads and lead sets  
Probe leads are configured into lead sets, which can probe 16 data channels with  
ground, one clock channel, and a common ground. A 17-channel probe lead set  
(E5383A) is shown in Figure 9.2, along with the replacement part numbers for individual  
components in Figure 9.3.  
Each probe lead is a 12-inch, twisted-pair cable connected to the probe cable at the  
probe housing (see Figure 9.3). The probe tip includes a signal lead, a connector for a  
ground lead, and the isolation network.  
The signal and ground leads can be connected directly to the target system. This  
requires installing 0.63 mm (0.025 inch) square pins, or round pins with a diameter of  
between 0.66 mm (0.026 inch) and 0.84 mm (0.033 inch) directly on the board. An IC  
test clip can also be used. The same specifications apply for the pin dimensions of the  
test clip. (See Figure 9.6 for IC test clips available from commercial sources.)

IC clips  
The surface-mount device IC clip with  
twin hooks (part number 5090-4833,  
containing 20 IC clips) is designed for fine  
surface-mounted component leads. The  
twin hook 0.5 mm IC clip (part number  
10467-68701, containing four 0.5 mm  
IC clips), is very useful for 0.5 mm pitch  
components. See Figure 9.5.  
Probe ground leads

Grounding  
SMT IC clip  
There are three methods of grounding  
the probe system. First, the entire probe  
lead set can be grounded through the  
common ground. This requires only one  
connection, but is not recommended  
because it will cause poor signal fidelity  
in systems with fast transition times. The  
recommended method is to individually  
ground each probe lead. This yields  
optimal signal fidelity and is required for  
signals with faster transition times  
(< 4 to 5 ns).  
Signal leads

For moderate rise times (greater than  
2 ns), it may be acceptable to ground  
every other (or every fourth) ground  
connection to the target.

Designing for Logic Analysis Probing  
Keysight recommends that targets with probing constraints have connectors designed  
into the prototype versions of the product for effective hardware and software debug.  
The following should be considered when designing with connectors:  
– Select the appropriate connector technology for your target speed and target  
density.  
– Carefully select all lines for routing to the connectors that may be needed for  
debug.  
– Group the lines at each connector for your probing convenience. For example,  
Keysight may have written an inverse assembler for your device that has a  
preconfigured signal order. Before designing, refer to the documentation for this  
inverse assembler for essential signal lines and order.  
– Keep the routing to connectors as short as possible to minimize target impact and  
provide accurate data.  
– Examine the impact of probing isolation networks designed into the target versus  
the isolation network products offered by Keysight.  
An isolation network must be located between the target and the logic analyzer. It can  
be located on the target board in through-hole or SMT parts. It can also be attached to  
the logic analyzer cable with the probe leads (the isolation network is molded into the  
end of the probe); or the Keysight 01650-63203 isolation adapter with self contained  
isolation networks can be used. Probe leads can be used with connectors but are not  
the most convenient method. Direct connection of the connectors with the analyzer  
cable (isolation network parts on the target) or with a probe or isolation adapter is the  
faster, more convenient method.

Soft Touch Connectorless Probing  
High-density, high-performance probes  
E5404A Pro Series soft touch  
connectorless probe  
Keysight Pro Series soft touch connectorless logic analyzer probes  
The E5404A is a 34-channel single-ended  
Pro Series soft touch connectorless  
probe compatible with all Keysight  
logic analyzers that have a 40-pin pod  
connector. It is capable of acquiring  
data at the maximum rates of the logic  
analyzer it is connected to.  
Keysight has developed connectorless logic analyzer probes based on soft touch  
probing technology. Connectorless logic analyzer probing removes the connector that  
is traditionally attached to the target board and replaces it with an array of probe pads.  
This reduces the probe load on the target by eliminating the loading associated with  
the physical body of the connector. Additionally, this streamlines the design flow by  
eliminating the need to assign a logic analyzer connector to the bill of material of your  
board, procuring those connectors and then having them loaded onto your board.  
Features  
Keysight’s soft touch connectorless probes use micro spring-pin technology to provide  
reliable contact which is not dependent on the planarity of the PC board or the plating  
processes used to fabricate the board. No special cleaning processes are required when  
using Keysight’s soft touch probes.  
– No connector on the target board  
– Top-side mount retention module  
– Industry-standard connectorless  
footprint  
– 34 channels, single-ended clock and  
data  
The new Keysight Pro Series soft touch connectorless probes offer a 30% smaller  
footprint than the original soft touch probes and are the basis for the industry standard  
connectorless probing footprint.  
– Extremely low, < 0.7 pF, equivalent  
load capacitance  
The probes use a retention module that ensures soft touch pin-to-PC board pad  
alignment and holds the probe in place while in use. The Pro Series soft touch uses a  
“top-side” mountable retention module. The retention module is mounted on the same  
side of the board as the probing footprint so there is no need to access the back-side  
of the board. Because there is no requirement for the retention module pins to extend  
beyond the back-side of the board, the retention module is compatible with virtually any  
board thickness.  
– Capable of data rates > 2.5 Gb/s  
(maximum rate dependent on  
analyzer used)  
– 500 mV p-p minimum signal  
amplitude  
– Robust and reliable soft touch  
technology  
Unused clock inputs can be used as data  
inputs.

Mictor and Samtec Probing  
High-Density, High-Performance  
Keysight has developed high-density probing solutions based on the 100-pin Samtec  
and AMP Mictor 38-pin connectors. The Keysight probes and adapter cables, E5346A,  
E5339A, E5351A, and E5385A, provide a connection strategy to route your important  
signals to the Keysight logic analyzer. Simply design the connectors onto the board for  
the critical signals such as address, data, and status bits. The connectors consume a  
minimal amount of board space. Each connector provides 32 channels of logic analysis  
per connector and two clocks (unused clocks can be used as data). Connectors for use  
with the E5385A, E5346A, E5339A, and E5351A can be purchased directly from AMP,  
Samtec, or Keysight. See the “Related Information” at the end of this document.

Mictor and Samtec Probing (Continued)  
Keysight Technologies E5346A, E5339A, and E5385A probes  
The E5346A, E5339A, and E5385A probes include the required isolation networks for  
the logic analyzer right at the probe tip, close to the target. The E5346A and E5385A are  
designed to acquire signals with peak-to-peak amplitude as low as 500 mV. The E5339A  
is designed to acquire signals as small as 250 mV peak-to-peak. Figure 9.24 shows  
the equivalent load for the E5339A, and Figure 9.25 shows the equivalent load for the  
E5346A. Figure 9.26 shows the equivalent load for the E5385A.  
To use the E5346A, E5339A, or E5385A at high clock speeds, the following design  
guidelines should be observed:  
– Calculate the electrical length of the probe hookup stub.  
– For PC board material with Er=4.9, use a propagation delay of 160 ps/inch.  
– Check that the propagation delay of the probe hookup stub is less than 20% of the  
bus signal rise time (T). If it is, the E5346A, E5339A, or E5385A can be used for  
r
connection.  
For example, if Er=4.9, a 2.5 inch probe hookup stub generates a propagation delay of  
400 ps. If T is > 2 ns, the E5346A, E5339A, or E5385A is a viable probing choice.  
r
The E5346A and E5339A use the AMP Mictor 38-pin connector. The E5385A uses a  
100-pin connector manufactured by Samtec. Keysight recommends the E5394A or  
E5385A for new applications, due to the reduced input capacitive loading and improved  
isolation between adjacent channels.

Keysight E5351A 38-pin adapter cable  
If the calculated electrical length of the required routing stub prohibits the use of the  
Keysight E5339A, E5346A, or E5385A, the Keysight E5351A can be used with the  
required isolation networks installed on the target.  
The E5351A does not have its own internal isolation networks. When using the E5351A,  
place the SIP isolation networks or equivalent discrete components very near the  
target component for measurement. Ensure that the stub length between the target  
component and the isolation network is short. The stub propagation delay should be  
less than 20% of the bus signal rise time, as mentioned before. The transmission line  
from the on-board isolation network to the Mictor connector should be designed for an  
impedance in the range of 80 to 100 ohms (closer to 100 ohms is better). This length  
should not exceed 3 to 4 inches, and all signal line lengths should be equal. Signal line  
length variation should not cause propagation delay variation to exceed 20 ps between  
signal lines.  
Notes on using discrete components  
Discrete components can be used in the design of the RC network. Keysight  
recommends the circuit shown in Figure 9.31. To achieve the equivalent load shown in  
the figure, trace lengths should be minimized by locating the RC network very near the  
measured node. Actual load will be the stub length load added to the equivalent load in  
the figure.

k
There are two options for isolating the  
E5351A on the target PC board:  
– Use the surface mount isolation  
network, Keysight part number  
5062-7396. Refer to Figure 9.32 for  
schematic and pinout.  
9 pF  
10 pF  
– Use discrete components. Refer  
to Figure 9.31 for recommended  
components and equivalent load.  
Figure 9.31. Suggested on-board isolation network and equivalent load when using discrete  
components to terminate the E5351A.  
1. The effective input capacitance for on-board isolation networks is purely a function of geometry -  
0.3 pF is about as low as can be achieved.  
If you are operating at state speeds  
above 200 MHz, you should use discrete  
components for best results. Due to the  
added electrical length of the E5351A  
probe cable, the divider compensating  
capacitors in the SIP, and surface-mount  
isolation networks are not optimum for  
the E5351A, but they are usable up to  
200 MHz clock rates.  
2. The equivalent load is the same when using the surface-mount isolation network, 5062-7396.

A support shroud is recommended to  
provide additional strain relief between  
the probe and the connector, as shown  
in Figures 9.27 and 9.29. Two plated  
through-holes are required on the target  
board. The shroud is mounted directly  
to the target board using the through-  
holes. This places the shroud around the  
connector, providing solid mechanical  
strain relief. Connector kits are available;

Keysight recommends standard 0.1 inch  
center connectors for normal density  
applications if the loading/speed is not  
a significant issue. Many of these items  
are available from 3M or Keysight (see  
Table 8). See the “Related Information”  
section at the end of this document for  
3M address information.

Direct connection through  
isolation adapter  
Isolation adapters (Keysight part number  
01650-63203) that connect to the end of  
the probe cable are designed to perform  
two functions. The first is to reduce the  
number of pins required for the header  
on the target board from 40 pins to 20  
pins. This process reduces the board area  
dedicated to the probing connection.  
The second function is to provide the  
proper RC networks in a very convenient  
package. Figure 9.36 illustrates how the  
isolation adapter physically connects to  
the target system and the equivalent load  
of the isolation adapter connected to a  
Keysight logic analyzer. Figures 9.37 and  
9.38 show the pinout diagrams for the  
probe cable and the isolation adapter,  
respectively. There are two 20-pin

Notes on using discrete  
components  
Suggested on board isolation network  
Equivalent load  
k
Discrete components can be used to  
design the isolation network. Keysight  
recommends the circuit shown in Figure  
9.42. To achieve the equivalent load  
shown in the figure, trace lengths should  
be minimized by locating the RC network  
very near the measured node. Actual  
load will be the stub length load added  
to the equivalent load in the figure. Trace  
length from the suggested on-board RC  
network to the target connector must be  
3 to 4 inches or less. This transmission  
line should be designed for an impedance  
in the range of 80 to 100 ohms (closer to  
100 ohms is better).
